So whats your guys posture on copyright infringement?

Annnnnd Johnny wins the thread.

Hello. I recall that there are a few people here who used to be into that stuff, and I'd like to know why you stopped,

You regged a year ago.

Nice try, no cigar.

Practicing magic is a good way to hone your deck. Epscially if you haven't been playing in a while.

[Cain]

I hear it totally burns through your disposable cash, though.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Yes, but I don't think make believe quite covers it. You cause hallucinations of the kind that can only otherwise be caused by large doses of very dangerous deliriants. Such as things flying off the altar, which you then pick up and put back. And hearing voices, and sensations. It's amazing.

got diagnosed with psychosis, voices wouldn't bloody well shut up. Thought it unwise to continue.

Are you saying there's something wrong with that? next you'll be telling us not to put oil in the pasta water!

Actually I never used to do magic, but since the Great Recession started I've taken up doing Satanic rituals with live nude female human altars. Before it seemed like such a hassle, but these days it's easy. You wouldn't believe what white women will do for a mortgage payment.

NOW LISTEN UP YOU PUKE. THE REASON THEY ALL FUCKING STOPPED CASTING SPELLS AND SHITS LIKE WIZARDS IS BECAUSE IT IS A GRAMED SINE. THEY ARE FORBIDDEN FOR DABBLING IN THE DARK ARTS, THE PUCE ARTS AND THE PLAID ARTS, EXCEPT FOR THAT IRISH SPAG TWIDDLY WINKLES, BUT HE IS IRISH AND OBVIOUSLY AN OVER-FUCKING-SIZED LEPRECHAUN.

The Mauve Arts are still allowed, but that's only because nobody likes mauve.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauve#Occultism

"Oblique to the paths that give on to other dimensions, and beyond them, there lies a region which the author has named the Mauve Zone. Mystics, magicians, sorcerers, alchemists, artists of many kinds have - over the centuries - skirted it, stumbled upon it, and fled from it. Very few have penetrated beyond it and survived, or cared to leave any record of the experience. Those that did, have had to present their accounts as fiction or discover a new means of communication - via weird art, symbols, hieroglyphics, signs which fellow pilgrims alone might recognize. Access to the Mauve Zone has been facilitated in more recent times by the use of magical systems developed by occultists such as Austin Osman Spare and Aleister Crowley, both of whom established contact with inter-dimensional entities possessed of transhuman knowledge and power. Both systems involve the use of sexual magick to open hidden gates that have remained sealed for centuries."

[Don Coyote]

Shit that is a "real" thing. FUCKING MAGICIANS HOW DO THEY WORK!!!

[Cain]

I've read most of Kenneth Grant's works.

It gets better.  The Mauve Zone is home to Lovecraftian horrors.  As in, actual Lovecraftian horrors, as described by Lovecraft.  Because HP was subconsciously in contact with said Mauve Zone.
