[snerk] I probably shouldn't laugh at the "suddenly declare eternal love, clumsily bash the poor girl's head in" thing, but it's too funny...got the potential (not that I think it'll be used, but there) for an interesting story about being truly in love with someone severely mentally disabled: the balance of power and the inglorious aspects of loyal love, which means dealing with inarticulate fits of distress and cleaning up nasty puddles. The whole "but he's sad about murder" bit sounds like protagonist-centred morality in play. Frikkin' Sues.
[bouncebounce] Shadow Theory, an indie d20 mod that takes a base of CoC and turns it into "a mixture of I Am Legend and Silent Hill." Thing is, though, its Sanity track explicitly covers stress and considers anti-social actions 'insane', because humans are inherently social. It doesn't force you to do/not do anything, but the mechanic makes the cruel a bit more like the monsters, and that makes me ee. Morality as an explicit survival tactic.
