Alright so pic unrelated, but you guys can just deal because I love it and never get to post it.

So when I ended the last story, we had a dead shoggoth, a burning building, a bunch of lawn gnomes were MIA, and we totally just ordered some bitching Chinese food.

Anyway, at this point in the proceedings Henderson decided that if he couldn't get a proper brainstorming going at home as to the location of the gnomes, then he could always try Harry's bar.

Good ol' Harry was scared proper shitless of Henderson after an incident with a 'commie bastard pinball machine' prior to the games start, so he could drink in peace and nobody really bothered him about the mounting tab.

So he's sitting there working on a new plan of action with his two best friends: Mr. Daniels and Mr. Walker, when suddenly a news report comes on. Apparently some woman was commenting on how the quiet religious group a few blocks away from the bar just had their shit wrecked. Henderson was VERY interested in knowing that they were not in fact Mormons, but rather 'Disciples of the Yellow King' which apparently were a radical sect of Buddhism that had the details promptly ignored since there was a hockey game on.

Then Henderson had a really good idea., since somebody at the other table had the 'Dragnet' theme as their ringtone.

He knew fuck all about looking for people, but a Private Detective.....

All I saw was in the original thread. Was there anything between this one and that one that I missed or is this the first thing about OMH this day.
>>
And lo, the continuation of the Tale of Henderson is here.
>>
Welp, looks like I'm carrying my laptop to bed with me.

>Dis gon b exquisite
>>
>>20097465

So after a few minute in the phone book, he decides to literally call the first name he saw under the PI heading.

By sheer freakish coincidence, the phone in the Detective player's office starts to ring.

"Hello?"

"I need a man who's good at finding things, doesn't have any great love of religious loonies, and doesn't mind maybe shooting an ugly ass poodle or two."

"... I'm sorry, but WHO is this?"

"Name's Henderson. I need some help from a professional."

"No argument here. So, you're looking to hire a PI?"

"Yep. Had something precious stolen from me."

"And that was?"

"Roughly 40 thousand dollars of Lawn Gnomes."

There was a silence both in game and at the table. "What."

"I'm not saying it was cultists, but I'm pretty sure it was cultists. Or aliens, but that seems unlikely given the circumstances. If you're interested we can talk down at Harry's on the south side by the river." And then he hung up.

Since the detective was quickly getting nowhere with his missing persons case, he decided it'd be good for a laugh.

Henderson meanwhile had discovered that Harry had acquired a Pac-Man arcade machine, and decided to fill the score board with profanity.

And here's something from /co/.
>>
>>20097595

So when the detective arrives, he asks for 'some guy named Henderson' and was promptly pointed to a man in.... unusual attire was teaching a girl how to shoot pool.

"Henderson?"

"Hold on, just a second. The important part of a shot in pool is to make sure it's smooth. Take all the time you need to line up the shot, don't let them rush you." He says, and then he sinks his last three balls and the '8' in one stroke. He then turns to the detective.

Who promptly recognizes him, and tries to leave. Too bad for him Henderson decided to follow. "So how do you think you're gonna go about this?"

"I'm gonna get the hell back in my car and leave the crazy ass arsonist/murderer behind."

"No shit?" He looks over his shoulder back at the bar "Which one?" He looks at the detective poking him in the chest. "What?"

"The church! You burned down a church!"

"They started it."

"Because you walked in with a shotgun?" He asked exasperated at the infuriatingly flawless logic of a complete asshole.

"No. Because they stole my goddamned lawn gnomes."

"Yeah, you mentioned that. How do you fucking steal 40 thousand dollars in decorative lawn fixtures? Where the hell did you even get that many gnomes?"

"I worked briefly as a prostitute in Thailand. The antique gnome collection was my retirement plan."

"What."

"Ended up riding some dude's Junk all the way back home. Hell of an uncomfortable ride, let me tell you. not meant for the ocean blue. And I would know."

"You... understand the logistics... of riding another man's junk.... across the ocean...."

"Well, in a general sense. I took a course on ship building back in collage. This was before we had these fancy navigational Gypsy Pathfinder Space-fairies."

".... I..... alight, you said you were looking for gnomes?"

"Actually, that was earlier. Just now I was explaining that how I knew so much about catching a ride on somebody's junk was due to vigorous study in my youth."

"Let's focus on the Gnomes. You think they were stolen by a cult?"

"Only thing that makes sense from what I know. I want you to look into this 'Disciples of the Yellow King'. See if they're doing anything suspicious."

"Actually, I was looking into them already for another reason: looks like they've got a hand in human marketing. Lawn Gnomes..... seems like an odd direction to go in, but I won't deny that they're up to no good. I'll let you know if I find anything worth talking about?"

"Sounds good. I'm usually at Harry's unless I'm not. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go see a man about a horse." Henderson then Walked across the street, stole a bicycle, and rode off into a plot-hole for a brief period of time.

Now here's the question: do you guys give a shit about non-WHM related things? because the rest of us were trying to play a somewhat serious game around him, and I wanted to know if you guys wanted the WHOLE story, or just shenanigans.

This. Its like Big Lebowski, since everyone else is trying to be serious and go with what they're supposed to, and that makes Henderson even more of a dynamo of disruptive awesome.

It gives more context to just how much he fucking obliterated all rails and gives us a bit more backstory to hendersons companions that regularly died

How could we say no to our only chance to hear the whole story of Henderson?
>>
Alright, so at this point, the guy playing the detective decided to give my character an easy-in with the group, since poor Jimmy was still on his lonesome for the moment.

In rolls James Fink, one of two of SEVERAL characters who Henderson killed, and the only one besides Simon who's name ever got remembered by the rest of the group.

James is a long time friend of the Detective, who's name I just remembered was Albert Johanson (Pronounced 'Yo-Han-Son' for some fucking reason). Back when Al was still a cop, Jim was a thug for the local mob. They worked up the ladders of their respective organizations, gained the respect of their co-workers, and eventually ended up leaving their jobs on good terms with their bosses.

In Jim's case it was because his wife had a baby on the way then, and asked him to find safer work. Al ended up in a shoot-out where his partner got killed fighting against a bunch of crazy meth addicts. Shortly after quitting they ran into each other by coincidence and discovered that the other one was 'the bastard who kept wrecking our job/getting away!' and ended up becoming fast friends. This continued on a fairly regular basis for several years until the Henderson situation, and Al decided he wanted back-up. And there was nobody in the world he trusted more.

"So," Jim said as he walked into the office. "Who's the client?"

"some crazy motherfucker named Henderson."

"That his first or his last name?"

"Man, I have no fucking clue."
>>
>"That his first or his last name?"

"Alright, so what's he want?"

"Apparently he thinks a cult stole his antique lawn gnome collection."

".... So drop the nutter."

"Two good reasons not to: The cult he's accusing I honestly believe to be involved in both activity illegal and bizarre. The other is that any man who can afford to just have 40 grand in gnomes lie around can write a pay-check."

"...Why the hell would somebody have fourty-"

"Don't tug on this particular string Jim. Trust me, just.... don't."

"So what's our first lead?"

"Well I was gonna go kick around in the ashes of the church my new boss burned down, and then see if there was any witnesses."

"Wait, our BOSS caused that church-fire?"

"Yeah. So you're in?"

"You kiddin'? I NEED to see how deep this rabbit hole goes."

That evening they went to the site, and discovered the Shoggoth's corpse. There wasn't enough left of it to force san checks, but plenty to make them start asking some pointed questions.

The Professor ended up on the list of people to look into when his body was identified, and then they found the page of the Necronomicron. Recognizing the occult symbols on it, the Detective dropped it off at his office while he went to ask iof he could borrow a notebook out of the cold-case evidence lockers.

Henderson meanwhile discovered that during a recent bender, he had agreed to chaperone a dance at the local high-school. So he swings by the detective's office to let him know where he'll be.

>>20098243

so he's at the office, and he meets Jim, asks him to pass along the info to Al, and the snags the scrap of the Necronomicron on the way out the door saying he needed paper. Jim failed his spot to notice what sheet he took. The GM fudged it, probably assuming Henderson was going to read it and he could kill him off via San-damage.

Boy howdy, was he wrong.

So Henderson shows up to the dance in his usual attire, slightly less scruffy than usual, and volunteers to sit outside and make sure punks from the other schools didn't try and gate-crash the party. The more 'proper' people were glad to keep him out, since that meant he wouldn't be able to corrupt the youth.

Henderson was glad because there was no way they'd let him smoke the monster blunt he just rolled inside.

I then realized, as hit lit an 'atomica' as he called it (a blunt roughly the size of a cuban cigar) that there was currently only one piece of paper on his person.

As soon as I found out where he was IC, I went to the school to try and prevent the inevitable.

Meanwhile, Jimmy (The jock) was sitting outside sad because his girlfriend didn't come because she was too bust being a crazy cultist.

Henderson decides to introduce him to the wonderful world of substance abuse, and like a bro passes the blunt.

To be totally honest, I'm surprised this moment didn't make the original story, since smoking the giant book of Bad Juju was the best thing to ever happen on accident.

So Jimmy took a hit, and totally failed every check the GM sent his way.

He saw Jesus, and then Jesus turned into a giant squid thing. In the deep distance the Weed softened the blow by masking everything behind a cartoon-ey after-glow.

So imagine for a moment watching Elmer Fudd scream 'Cthulhu f'tagan' and shoot daffy in the face. Only instead of a fucked up beak and a muttering of 'this means war' he screams 'HE COMES!" and tenticles rip out of his form to molest wildlife.

This is the part where I had to go to the door and retrieve the precious shrimp fried rice, but I came back to "So wait, I ONLY lost 15 san?"

"Yeah. What now?"

"I pass it back."

Henderson of course manages to ace the tests, and then comments on how 'this is some really GOOD shit man' and how Jimmy is 'a lightweight'.

Jimmy then does a bit better and they get to swapping stories. Pretty soon the Cult comes up, and they agree to join forces for the sake of cute girls next door, and lawn gnomes everywhere.

Sadly that roach burned fast and hard, so when Me and Al got there all we saw was the crazy old fuck and some ginger teenager crashed together against the wall giggling at 'those silly squid things in people's heads'.

So we then discover the kid's connection to the madness, and promptly discover what he knows.

This leads to the three people who DIDN'T have school tomorrow (both in and out of game) to prepare a stakeout of some church.

If ever only we could have the Director's Cut of Boxcar Joe the Magic Hobo too.

It is the only story on /tg/ that I've made a written translation of, just to inspire my friends.

Old Man Henderson has always been a close second, but since I'm not that well versed in Lovecraft I haven't been able to do it any honour.

Also, bump!
(Picture somewhat related it was the only time my players ever sniffed to the OMH-scale of plot derailment, leaving it at a solid 0.0^[∞]1.
The short version: Druid attempted to chat with a Boar, rolled a 2, Boar chased her up a tree. Ranger then attacked Boar and in retaliation the Boar knocked out the Ranger. Took the combined efforts of a Paladin, two sorcerers and a Barbarian to kill the boar. It was an ordinary boar and not a dire boar. In their defence the players were still level 1.)

The problem is it sounds that boxcar joe was only used by WHM for a short time and then he travelled and grew and grew and grew every time he was spat out of the character generator.

It would still be awesome though

>>20101867
I never saw lovecraft as something that translated well anyway.
Except for the japs because let's be honest they are already half way to worshipping the elder gods with all the crazy shit they come out with.

>The problem is it sounds that boxcar joe was only used by WHM for a short time and then he travelled and grew and grew and grew every time he was spat out of the character generator.

Yeah, that is the whole amazing aspect. Which admittedly though too is the part of it that makes it impossible to make a director's cut.

We would have to locate every player ever who ever encountered Box Car Joe, locate the good writers amongst them - and then persuade them to do our bidding while we crackle maniacally in the background.

>>20102065

Yep, not impossible, but hard. Admittedly my Box Car Joe translation included over five footnotes per page to explain various game-details in layman terms.

You have probably left the thread a long time ago, and I'm only writing this for the sheer chance that you will read it - either in the thread later or in the archive. Also because for every reply we write, the thread is bumped and stays alive for later - and should we autosage, ASCN can still create a new thread and link it here.

Anyway, the language I translated Box Car Joe to was Danish, he got the name "Godsvogns Joe Den Magiske Bums".

Because I'm stupid - and bored - like that, I converted the DOC to a PDF and saved the PDF as a PNG.

So here it is: Box Car Joe The Magic Hobo in Danish - with a whole lot of grammatical errors and lacking proper punctuation (I forget to put commas and periods very often when typing).

Either /tg/ is much more of a hive-mind than I thought (which makes me question how long time I have left before I'm indoctrinated) or we have a samefag who hates Old Man Henderson, Wafflehouse Millionaire and/or A Self Called 'Nowhere' with a burning passion.

Dude, stop, we get your point, you have plenty of time to waste, so could you at least concentrate your boredom on less posts and increase the quality of your postings? You know? Quantity over quality and all that?

By continuing to do so he will inevitably grow tired quicker and thus we get rid of him quicker.

So at this point, we all get into Jim's van, and park down the street from a church. The church happens to be on the ned of a road, at a T-shaped intersection, and we're parked a bit up the way from it.

"Man, stakeouts are boring."

"No shit, Henderson. you have anything useful to contribute?"

"Not really. I should've brought a book or something."

"Would you be paying attention to the building if you had reading material?"

"Not really."

"Then I guess that would defeat the purpose of a stakeout, wouldn't it?"

"Not if you two were watching. Hell, we could have two of us watching the third man playing bait."

"You'd volunteer for that?"

"Beats the fuck out of sitting in a van with two dudes who won't even let me smoke."

"Didn't you smoke EVIDENCE last time you lit up?"

"I regret nothing. Fuck it, you guys hungry or something? I'm gonna go grab some munchies from the gas station."

"Bring coffee."

"And some cheese doodles."

"Aight. Back in.... fuck it, just leave the doors unlocked."

And he went in search of snacks. When he hopped out of the van, one of the cultists happened to see him on a lucky roll, and as he walked around the corner into the gas-station, they ran out and beat the shit out of the two of us left behind.
>>

Oh boy I can't wait.

I would like to point out that last thread ASCN said he believes Hendersons BSoD was NOT burned, and that he said he would check to confirm.
>>
>>20111200

About the time We got dragged into the building, Henderson had FINALLY got out of the bathroom. About the time we got tied to the alter, Henderson had stopped to try on hats. About the time the ritual reached it's height, Henderson was debating which AC/DC album was the best with the cashier.

The end result of that argument was that while they couldn't decide if Back in Black or Dirty deeds was the best Album, Black Ice was pretty boss and heralded only good.

So then in some tense tests of willpower and resolve, Al managed to free Jim and hold off the cultists while an evil presence steadily took chunks off his San score until he was no longer able to resist.

Smiling in malicious glee, Hastur began to stalk his new prey. at this point in time, Henderson had JUST walked out of the store, just in time to see my character get murder-glomped by a monster wearing my friend's face. So he does the only 'logical' thing he could. He stole a fucking fuel truck.

So then we find out he was packing C4, and was making all sorts of tests while gunning it down the road towards us. He made it, and bailed, just in time for the truck to hit him off of me, and run my ass over. Hastur rode that truck to it's end, while Henderson placed a call to Jimmy.

"Hey kid, Henderson here. Found out what the nasties are weak against."

"What's that Mr. Henderson?"

"Point blank annihilation." he then hangs up the phone, and proceeds to walk off. I finished bleeding to death two turns later.

That's right, mother-fucker LEFT ME TO DIE.

Sure it wasn't like I was screaming for help, but he could have at least CHECKED.

Since I'm not sure how familure /tg/ is with certain Cthulhu based rule-books, I was basically in what D&D calls 'alive, with negative hit-points'. So helpless, dieing, but still there's hope.

Until the back trail ignited, and the tiny amount of fire damage ended me.

My one consolation was that the fire blew up the gas station, it took the bar he left me for with it. Then, the detective's player, after the fastest re-roll I've ever seen enter stage left and William Brocklaw runs in and yells about how his newly refurbished bar just got destroyed on the evening of it's grand reopening.

"Hey man, if it makes you feel any better, I can help you get back at the people who did this."

"Who are you?"

"Name's Henderson. This is my right hand man, Rupert."

"... and you know who did this?"

"I'm fairly certain I do. Ever hear of the 'Disciples of the Yellow King'?"

"Are you saying that this was done by cultists?"

"Look, I'm not saying it was cultists."

"Re-"

"But it was probably cultists. Come on, your bar might be gone, but it's not the only watering hole in town. Ever hear of a pub called Harry's? You look like you could use a drink."
>>
This has reminded me. I want to get into CoC. What edition is good to get?
>>
>>20111378
Newest I believe. I asked here before, and got the answer that D&D is the only game where the editions are so vastly different.
>>
>>20111366
I love how Henderson somehow convinces another person to work with him immediately after killing one and blowing up the other who was possessed by a god.
>>
>>20111366

At Harry's bar, he got filled in on what Henderson knew, while getting a couple of drinks 'on the house'.

(I probably would've been there too, was I not slightly pissy about losing two characters in as many sessions.)

So after a few minutes of back and forth, Will decides he'll get in on it IF Henderson could provide some proof as to the whole evil cultist thing.

"So why'd you decide to go after them?"

"Revenge mostly."

"Really? What happened?"

"Same bastard who blew up your bar killed two of my buddies. This is after they stole all my fucking lawn gnomes."

"Damn. Tell you what, when we catch the guy, I'll hold him still while you kill him."

"Mighty generous of you."

This was the point where we called it for the evening, and at the start of the next session Henderson headed up a 'daring plan' to kidnap one of the heads of the cult. I'll tell that one next time, but quick spoiler: I managed to get three of MY OWN characters killed in one session.

Yeah.

He prolonged his own life by ending the lives of those around him.

Sort of like the shinigami out of death note.

When he finally died it was because there was no one else left to die in his place.

>>20111547

It was an heroic sacrifice to kill off an elder god forever.
I'm pretty sure that doesn't count.
>>
>>20111252
Wait Hastur? I thought that was at the end?
>>
>>20111631
When he killed him for real it was
This was him banishing him back to the wherever elder gods go by killing his host before the ritual was complete.
>>
>>20111631

That also. This was Hastur trying to use Al as a gate to summon himself into the world.

So technically, Hastur was possessing Al remotely. The 'Hell on Ice' was Hastur being pulled directly into the physical world.

>>20111538

Yes, yes it is. I'd ask that you delete that post, since I try to be discrete outside of story-time threads.
>>
>>20111547
He killed fucking Hastur. Hell, he probably ate his soul too and took his place in the stars.
>>
>>20111702

ACTUALLY.....

Actually, no, wait, I'm not telling that tale here and now. I've got other things I need to do.

I will say that that stupid Lovecraft Anime was gentler on both Nyarly and Hastur by the time I was done there.
>>
>>20111631
That was just a little avatar thing. Not the real deal.
>>
>>20111547
'Technically' means 'in effect', not 'in name only'.
Henderson died at the end and it was obvious he died.

>>20111584
He then got reborn. And later got Haster as his mortal girlfriend.
I kid you not, and it WAS a heterosexual relationship.
They even got their previous life memories back.
Yes, this was from WHM himself.

>>20111631
This was just an avatar, I believe.
At the end Henderson summoned Haster himself in Hasters own physical body.
>>
>>20111765
Oh no, there's no backing out now.
Give us the highlights reel and then next time go the whole nine yards
>>
>>20111786

To be completely fair, neither of them were aware of any of that when they hooked up.

And Heather was technically a true reincarnation, not just Hastur round 2 like Eli was for Henderson.

>>20111796

Nah, I've got shit I need to do. And honestly, I want to do the story justice. I didn't expect the original Old Man Henderson to be such a big deal, or I wouldn't have half assed the story-time like I did, and would've tried instead to give a write-up like my friend's doing.

Seriously, there were parts where I honestly considered Henderson to be the only sane man in the room.

>>20111880
One of his friends had a campaign idea.
Henderson and Hastur fought in the afterlife for a chance at reincarnation.
Henderson won.

Guess what he said to only him getting reincarnated.

I'm going to spare everyone my incoherent confused mutterings and just say:
"There's an epilogue? News to me."
>>
>>20111865

It's kinda epilogue territory.

>>20111880

What happened was kinda convoluted, but here's the cliff-notes version:

>The two of them end up in purgatory, and are basically informed that killing their 'linked' soul will get them reincarnated.
>At the very end of the game, Henderson wins, and finds out that killing Hastur could do terrible things to his home dimension, since the gods power, currently in limbo, would disappear.
>He strikes a last minute deal with Nyarly to 'foot the bill' and get them both reincarnated, and Hastur agrees to give up his power, under the condition that he can reclaim it later if he decides to.
>Big N takes a decent sized permanent hit to his power, and both Eli and Heather are born into the world.
>somewhere at around Age 18, Events happen that give them memories of their prior lives, and Heather takes back the power she had given up, and then seals it away when it begins to turn her back into Hastur.
>The big N gets REALLY pissed at this development, and then all the shit hits every fan.

Technically something might happen after that point, but it hasn't come up yet.

And this is some real cliff notes, since between the first two lines of green-text about 15 sessions of GAME happened.
>>
>>20111843
Fair enough, I will wait for next time then.
>>
>>20111947
>then seals it away when it begins to turn her back into Hastur.
Is it a temporary seal that lets her access it when she needs to, or a permanent seal that makes it so she might as well not have them at all?

>>
>>20113081
Whatever malevolent entity caused the birth of that story was not something a mortal man can simply call upon.
It was the elder gods directly influencing WHM in his angered state and leading to the madness so complete that no one can comprehend or consider replicating it.
>>
Ya know how sometimes you can like, recall things under hypnosis?

Well, we torturehypnotize WHM and force him to rewrite it.

>>20113081
First thing is: Go back a decade or two and give myself a high five. Because getting a time machine is awesome and I can't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate. That and I'll finally get to use the
>"should I, in the event of amnesia, time travel, multidimensional shenanigans, or any other applicable reason, ever need to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt my identity to my alternate self --"
code I cooked up back in my early teens.

Assuming the above doesn't destroy the universe or something: yeah that is a good idea. I'd want to study the original first, though -- just in case it turns out to really be the product of a mind-warping horror from beyond the veil.
And since we've already assumed I have a time machine, I could even go back to when /x/ didn't suck and ask them for help.

I think I would have to go back in time to when my dad was about my age so I could give him a high 5 as well because he was cool

I seem to keep missing where the second screenshot is in this thread, but here's one that picks up where it left off.

I'm capping the thread as we go along.
I'll post the full thing once we're in autosage.
Already at 10 screens.
>>
>>20123891
Oh, okay. I just put that up because the last post seemed like it was wrapping up that chapter of the tale, and someone asked for it.
After this post, we'll only have another 45 more before hitting autosage.

I recommend people make their own version anyways.
I wont be able to upload till after 8 tomorrow, so I might not make it.

How does the version in >>20107235 look? Any posts I should add or remove?
I want to make it as good for sharing as I can.
I'm redoing it since why the fuck not.

Just let the thread die, son.

There will be others.
>>
Okay, getting to work on the screenshot now.
Fucked one up, so I'm recapping. Fuck, there are a lot of replies to hide.
>>
Alright, it's done.
And it's fucking huge. Too big resolution (945x8925) to actually post on 4chan, but what the fuck ever.

can you make a just story version? we don't need hard evidence that our holy text was destroyed, let it live in myth
>>
>>20130902
Alright, taking it out right now.
Anything else? Most extra stuff I left in to be nice.
I could go total reaper and take out everything not necessary to the story.
>>
Changed: http://imgur.com/QMFT4
Anything else?
I'll try to make a really short version that's under 5k so it can be shared on 4chan.
Any problem with a multi-part one?
>>
>>20131144

You can cut it into two columns to fit size limits.

Why yes, I AM being obsessive about this.
Need to do this to the original thread and ASCNs last thread.
Part one of this thread.
