As of now, the case of Charles Dexter Ward and the Shadow Over Innsmouth are tied for first. Vote for your favorite Lovecraft story to discover the truth!

Why do I keep seeing this? People talking about a war in heaven where the good Elder Gods fought and defeated the evil elementals called the Great Old Ones, is this a cannon idea? I certainly read nothing of the kind in any of Lovecraft's work...

Sounds great!

Sir, I am a Christian too, and those so called Christians are anything but. YWHW calls those who follow him to love, forgive, and never judge others. Those people are worse than cultists, they tried to play god. I can't stand people like that. Aside from that, this story is inspiring and you have strengthened my faith today. I am glad you chose life and encourage others to do the same. I'm also deeply sorry for what you had to go through. Hopefully you will never see that kind of bulls**t in this community. It's crazy that atheists on this site embody Christ's ideals more than most Christians do... Thank you for sharing. You rock!

I was in my woeful negative years🤣

@Baron,They are being talked about in the forums, they are (currently) not actual products. As for as I know...

The six-fingered children of demons have their own RPG?

I've actually never tried this method, thank you for inspiring me!

Love this! Great idea, there should be more experience packages in general.

I was going to name my facebook page Cthulhu's little shop of horrors, but there were copywrite issues. Anyway, I would love to see that as a scenario! A whole session which was RPG mixed with Musical...

As chosen by you! I added 20 cannon stories to the list, if you need more, let me know. If you can think of any other mainly Mythos horror writers whom you would vote for, let me know and I'll add them to the poll.

Are your magic rules relevant to CoC or DG? If so, I will see what the hype is all about!

I agree that his racism is unacceptable (although I'm sure, were he alive today, he would see how his racism has destroyed his entire reputation...), however, I personally find his work some of the best. Unlike King (and countless others), he didn't really have much to draw on (except Poe of course) and practically created his own genre. However, I respect your opinion, and can see where you're coming from. Many of his tales seem unfinished or difficult to read, but his great works stand out like stars in the void.

This story is a classic.

Never stop thinking. I watched his stuff when I first started D&D, this video rocks!

One of my all time favorite bands, I recently learned how to play both "Call of Ktulu", "The Thing That Should Not be", and "Sanitarium (Welcome Home)" on rhythm guitar, it's awesome that they introduced people to Lovecraft.I actually heard those songs long before I even knew anything about HPL. Heck, my dad and I thought The Thing That Should Not Be was about the Loch Ness Monster ...

I shall begin my descent into madness by poring over the Need to Know PDF, if I have further questions I shall ask. Thanks for all the helpful information everyone! Still debating if I care to spend that much money though. I guess the PDF will help with that decision. One thing, are people able to create third party Delta Green works on DriveThruRPG?

Are the books worth 100$?

That sounds awesome, I love reading so I'll be sure to check it out. Have you yourself published anything? @Old Man Henerson

I'm newer to this community and Delta Green is a name many associate with a BRP horror system inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos. I am however, uninitiated when it comes to exactly what Delta Green is and how it differs from Call of Cthulhu 7ed. If you dare, inform the general public this secret knowledge of the cosmos...

Truly wonderful advice! But I have one thing to add. No matter if your a Keeper or a Investigator, the one thing all role-players need is imagination. At the end of the day, statistics aside, all RPGs are collaborative narrative exercises and you need to understand how a story or character works. One should discover all the richness of storytelling first, then purchase all the rulebooks and supplements. Learn about character arc and the three act story, solid backstory and world building, and anything else you can! Life is short, don't waste it on a sub-par role-playing experience. Actually read ALL of Lovecraft's available fiction. Learn about the three stages of horror. After you have learned the basics of story development, you should move on with the starter set and the Keeper Rulebook. This is the best RPG system I've ever played, and there's no way you can go wrong with these products. Also, unlike wizards of the coast and hasbro, Chaosium actually cares about their customers and is a company I am proud to support. "We are all us."

I first discovered Lovecraft in a card game called Cthulhu Fluxx, then I bought his collected fiction and Call of Cthulhu 7 edition (which is my favorite RPG system to date). Almost none of my friends have ever even heard of the guy, and I'm wondering, what else has he inspired? I know there's a movie called The Reanimator, and that authors like Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, and even Stephen King were influenced by the grandfather of cosmic horror, but what else? What is the collective influence of Howard Philips Lovecraft?

@MOB,Are there any plans for a book on Mythos Tomes or Artifacts?

I attempted to use the link and it wouldn't allow me to reach the page. I would indeed be interested in a game like that. Very excited to see what you guys come up with!
