Adeptus7 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 https://adeptus7.itch.io/lovecraftian-inspirations-from-real-life-and-beliefs You can use them as You wish, for free. This free brochure (28 pages) contains inspiration drawn from the beliefs of peoples who actually inhabit the Earth now or in the past, or from facts taken straight from history or science. Each case includes the suggestion, how given beliefs or facts can be interpreted in the spirit of cosmic horror, emphasizing their appropriate elements or bending them slightly. Sometimes the descriptions are quite brief – a detailed discussion of each topic would take a lot of space and time. These are rather teasers intended to show why a specific thing may be interesting for fans of eldritch vibes and possibly encourage them to take a closer look at the topic. The article is intended primarily for Game Masters who play games in systems inspired by Lovecraft’s works, such as Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green. However, I hope that other fans of cosmic horror will also find something for themselves here. The facts presented here may also be interesting for people who are not familiar with the work of The Loner of Providence, but some of the references may be unclear to them. Here are contents: GREEK MYTHOLOGY Typhon – a classic but forgotten abomination Zeus – embodied energy In his house underground, dead Hades waits in sleep Apollo – beautiful, deadly light Hermes is the gate, Hermes is the key NORDIC MYTHOLOGY A jotun is not the same as a giant, but it can be made into an abomination Odyn = Nodens, Loki = Nyarlathotep Or is Odin an abomination?
