Hello everyone!!!

My name is Isaac, I'm 17 years old and I'm trying to fulfill my dream. Since I was a kid I always wanted to create videogames, but until now I hadn't done a long project or one that I was proud of. In February of this year I started a project that had been going around in my head since I started developing videogames, a story based on one of the best horror writers ever, HP Lovecraft.

One thing I always wanted was for this game to be made by a community and that's what I've been doing(Or, rather, we are doing). I'm developing this project by myself, I program, design, write the story, do the art, everything else, and I need your help.

Almost daily I ask polls, questions, ask for feedback on mechanics, on art, on just about everything, on my INSTAGRAM and TWITTER accounts, I would appreciate it if you could join this cool community we are forming and help me create the game of my dreams.

also, if you want to have your own character in the game, appear in the credits, support this project and participate in a more active way in the development, join my PATREON and join my cultists

you can also support me by buying me a coffee

Thank you for reading this far

I need some excitement in my life and i think summoning an ancient god will do the trick

I've been digging around yet can not seem to or infact, have never been able to find out what the crimson altar actually does in the film: Curse of the crimson altar. Anyone know or have theories to what it does?

Hello,

I am sort of a newbie in this mythos, but I am writing my own sort of guide to it. I was wondering what some of the biggest deities and abominations would be, i.e. Shoggoths, Cthulhu, Azatoth, and Deep Ones. Thanks for the Help

Juk-Shabb is the God in the short story "The Challenge From Beyond." However, he is not named in it. Where was this God first named?

Trevor wiki, come here, this is awesome!

Dear August Derleth.

Thanks to you it is that I am here, because you made known the myths of your friend, and that despite my atheism, I have tried to maintain respect for religious beliefs and try to understand them in their entirety, so I understand why you put all that kernel of myths, believe me, I would have done something similar, but from the deepest valley in my heart, I tell you: F#ck your mother, seriously, screw you.

Lovecraft may have been a racist, but more and more authors have written his stories from the POV of non white people. But there's another group of people whom I would like to see play a role in the universe of the Old Ones. High functioning autistics, like me. After all, our morality is often seen as alien and foreign, just like the morality of the Old Ones and Monsters. So could a human brain that's alien by human brain standards, be effected differently by Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, etc?

How do you join the community Discord server? I don't see any links anywhere on the wiki.

Thank you in advance!

I'm writing a story using some lesser-known deities of the mythos (Nctosa & Nctolhu, to be specific); they're virtually unknown and there's no information written about them.

I was wondering how exactly I should handle this. Should I just do whatever I want with them or should I draw influence from their family tree?

For instance, Cthulhu never projects any kind of avatar like Hastur does and no information exists on Kassogtha's abilities. Should I just take liberties with their abilities to project avatars or stick closer to the known abilities of their family tree?

Thank you in advance for any advice!

I would like to express a little "discontent" or observation that I saw about the images of the Lovecraftian creatures, not only from the wiki but in general. I admit that before reading Lovecraft in depth I thought that Cthuluh was just a humanoid sea monster with an octopus head, I even believed it possible that Godzilla could defeat him, and yet once reading "Call of Cthulhu" I realized my mistake and Where did that underrated image of the ancient god come from.

It turns out that everything comes from the famous drawing of Cthulhu sitting, being quite cartoonish in appearance, and I will not deny it, it looks good, but it turns out that this is not Cthulhu as such, it is the statue that the protagonists find on it and to which the cult worshiped, but the true Cthulhu, at least in its first appearance, looked very different from what was seen in the statue, even in dreams, it had great differences between representations, this because, as we all know, Cthuluh in its physical form it is indescribable, we only know that it was green, scaly, had two wings and (possibly) multiple tentacular limbs.

It is this little overlooked detail that has affected the popular image of Cthulhu, since each artist always represents it that way, a way that, in my opinion, subtracts the impact that the ancient god has and deserves, the same can happen. with Nyarlathotep, Azathot or Yog-Sothoth, subtracting the impact and even dwarfing his figure. I admit that these forms are ideal for parodies or other media that are not taken that seriously, such as cartoons, but I was disappointed even to see this when I realized what they were and represented in the beginning.

I recently came across two artists who, in my opinion, are the best to represent the ancient gods, these are:

John Coulthart, who illustrate a lot of entities.

https://www.cthulhu-webshop.de/artwork.html

Santiago Caruso, who illustrate The Dunwitch Horror: https://santiagocaruso.carbonmade.com/projects/2445352

Loïc Muzy, who made a lot of art of lovecraft, but I'm going to highlight his work with Cthulhu and Azathoth more than the rest, that I feel like he takes too many artistic loberts: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/QzEEd8

I know that most keep the margin or the idea of ​​the concept, for example, in The Dunwitch Horror, that we all have that conception of a hideous cloud shape with jagged tentacles and so on; but seeing all the potential wasted for artists by the stereotype or the widespread conception of Lovecraft fans. I even think that the images on the page are "complicit" of this, because all non-connoisseurs who enter the page will see it and will not be able to even conceive the concept of Lovecraftian beings, or what they represent, their nature or your idea.

I don't know, it's just a thought i had a while ago and wanted to share it. What do you Think?

I am planning on summoning Nyarlathotep, how should I do this? I am ready to summon the great crawling chaos, just because I'm really bored.

I'm kidding, I'm actually working on a Lovecraftian D&D campaign, and I'm not sure how the cult should be "Stetting up" the ritual.

My friend wants to start getting into Lovecraft's works and monsters, they asked me the best place to start but I honestly don’t know. My dive into Lovecraft was with “Call of Cthulhu” because I just wanted to read it. What do you think a good introductory story would be?
