  1. Good day, newer GM giving CoC a test and looking forward to my games ahead. I’m actually a professor and covered Lovecraft a bit in my literature course, including the racism and discriminatory bits. Overall, I like how Chaosium has mentioned this is a part of the lore and one to be learned from as problematic, yet I feel it could be a tad more prominent. Now, after that preface I was looking at running several stories from Doors to Darkness since it is for newer GMs, and players. It looks like it has some awesome variety in regard to styles of sessions! I love that Chaosium puts such consideration into printing and easing players in. Then I hit the “degenerate ape men who are decedents of slaves, and….. “ dammmmmn, I was a bit taken aback this would be left in. “How do I handle this? I guess just leave it out entirely or don’t run this ever?” Was my first reaction, especially with everyone aware of the racism seeped in to Lovecraft that has to be handled with care? Any other GM? (Keepers?) have this issue pop up in some way? Am I misinterpreting something maybe?
