Anyone interested in doing an HP Lovecraft RP that takes place in our world? It could be amusing. |

Short answer, for people who know who Lovecraft is (I assume most of you do): It would be an RP, or a series of RPs, taking place in our NS nations, but with the Lovecraft mythos. Cthulhu, Dagon, its all good. Slighltly Longer Answer, for people who don't know who Lovecraft is: Howard Phillips Lovecraft was a writer of "Weird Fiction" (SciFi/Horror) who wrote mainly during the twenties and thirties. His stories, while they can be annoyingly racist at times, are highly entertaining, and often extremely creepy. I've always liked them quite a bit, and I think it would be cool to bring some of the things from his stories into our NS world. Here's a link to a site where you can read some of his work. I highly recommend it, especially the story called "The Color out of Space": Lovecraft stories online. |

Well, I know who Lovecraft is and I know the fundamentals (the great old ones, Cthulu) but I haven't read Lovecraft. |

I remember Cool Air, but I don't know if I've read the Hound. It looks like there's some interest, at least. Quaon, can I assume from your post that you're in too? |

Make The Hound the next thing you read. It basically starts the whole Cthulhu Mythos since it includes, the for the first time,the Necromonicon. |

Well, that's four. Anyone else? Also, should we just do vignettes of Lovecraftian happenings in our respective nations, perhaps with ongoing stories about each of the nations, or should we all work together on one single RP? I'm leaning towards the vignettes/ongoing stories in our own nations rather than one single RP. |

I think we'll start out with vignettes, and if we want to do a drawn out RP, we can start a new thread. Anyone is welcome to post the first story. I think I'll do one tomorrow, but its late now, and I've got class in the morning. |
