Pregen Characters for D&D5

After looking for a long time my impression is that the following is the best resource for pregenerated characters for D&D: D&D Premade Characters

Any other resouces for pregens?

I'd be thankful, if you share some in the comments.

TORG: A New Cosm? A Utopia of Manners!

I was asked what cosm I would create - and where - if the Gaunt Man gave me a darkness device and asked me to invade Earth. Here is my reply:

Germany and especially Austria (that's where I am from) and the Balkans need a cosm!

Genrewise I miss Fantasy of Manners and Transhuman Sciencefiction, leading to some Post/Transhumanism of Manners?

There will be New Romanticism like it's 1982, except that it feels more like 2082. Some powdered wigs, but at least as much long glam rock hair. It's the weird psychedlic and timeless future of 70ies Scifi like Zardoz beyond the wastelands. H.G. Wells' Eloi running the cosm, being nasty to each other behind the gobelins. Melniboné fits in there as well.

It has the tree shooting party scene vibe from the 1970ies Rollerball, the roaming the countryside roads of Clockwork Orange's Durango 95 rides and the killer gemstone and weird costumes from Logan's Run. An utopia with dark undercurrents.

And the landscape between the palaces is straight from the cover of a 1970ies ProgRock album. I am sure there will be enough floating pyramids and giant stone heads.

It's not about high tech, but the invisible tech, looking like magic, except that it's never micro, but macro, and quiet and clean.

(I guess smaller sections might filled up with 1984's proles and morlocks as well. But they play a smaller role with the mostly reactionary and aristocratic world laws keeping the blood lines in check.)

Randomly created Lovecraft text

I found this very fascinating Lovecraftian text generator.

Here is a sample run:

Almost immediately afterward the speck had become disarranged with the Shantak and let them if I recognised it at night and crowned with a Thousand wonders where the peak wherein dwell the furtive and venomous ghasts which frequently hopped up behind him could be given a rich boon of knowledge like yourself and to which he had seen and feared before; and the great stone bridge where Naraxa joins the sea. They had been lost in the dark. Altogether I hope I do. In time he became very numb and somnolent moving more from automatic impulse than from reasoned will; nor did I emulate some of the great Ones will hear and know that they were not the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.

Of these things you will decide to come close to the thoughts and visions of your mystical erudition will understand me when I rushed out of the ghouls set a somewhat different and calming letter neatly typed on a dim plain strewn with bits of substance therein. Once in crossing an open street he wriggled worm like on his course now lay uphill through wilder and more forest traversing hill roads than the great Ones.

So the ghoul that was Pickman advised Carter to the north was not much impressed and held a gaping circular pit surrounded by six malignly stained stone altars in a great black stone which crowns Ulthar's highest hill he sought and that the great Ones themselves are not unrepresented; and it was not long in speaking to some secret and nocturnal the onyx castle of the Great Ones. In the land of fancy. Past all these gorgeous lands the malodourous ship flew unwholesomely urged by the time I had never previously heard of that twilight place; and Carter was placed well up toward the north.
There was a good deal of stirring and scratching and shuffling in the dark. The next day saying that he could not be as he could not guess; and it was not much use for short flights on earth. I have seen and walked with in the dark. Altogether it was not long in speaking to some of which he had come down from the north and traded in the dark. In the dark and uninviting. There were no better informed than he.

Lovecraft as bad writer?

When I read Lovecraft as a teenager I was looking for suspense and thrills. I did not find it. Instead I found the strange choice of wide distance from the supposed action. Decades later I started rereading Lovecraft exactly for that distance.

It’s a choice to see everything through a filter of disbelief in reality (now). A state of shock that fades out sound and puts the world seemingly in slow motion. The distance he creates also reminds me of what I imagine clinical depression to be like. Lovecraft’s Cosmic Horror is mostly existential and I can’t stop reading him for the out of body experience he provides.

Cthulhu is a stupid looking monster, but it also turned into an universal icon of the wish that everything would come to an end - jokingly of course, because nonfundamentalists don’t believe in Judgement Days, but sometimes wish for it anyways. Cthulhu turned into that fix in geek culture. Dark Gnosis: look it up.
