Lovecraftian horror is about discovering just how small and insignificant we are, how little we actually know about reality. Not only is the world as we know it likely to come to an end, but the things destroying us are utterly disinterested in us and will end civilization like we would step on an anthill. Not only are there monsters, but the monsters are superior to us in every way. The core of Cthulhu mythos and Lovecraftian lore is a very unique form of horror. There are creatures so utterly bizarre and powerful that we barely register as alive to them, and to most of them, we simply don’t matter. There are creatures who ruled the world long before we arrived and may rule it again. The famous Cthulhu is really just one member of a veritable rogue’s gallery of titanic alien creatures that exist in defiance of our limited understanding of the universe. While never truly linked in any sort of continuity, his works and lore centered around “the old ones” and other mysterious entities have been combined into one sweeping world in which humanity is under constant threat and matters very little. Lovecraft was a little-known horror and science-fiction writer from the turn of the 20th century (with some rather regrettable racial views) who garnered a massive following long after his death. Fundamentally, Cthulhu lore (or the “mythos”) all stems from the works of H.P. Nerd culture has soaked up Lovecraftian horror like a sponge but if you’re still blessedly ignorant allow me to open your eyes to the terrible truth. Grab your revolver and your tome of arcane mythos as we blur the lines of reality and go through everything you need to know. If you’ve been itching to delve into dark mysteries and learn knowledge that man should never have trifled with, now’s the time. Now with the onset of 7th edition we finally have a Cthulhu game that our mortal minds can comprehend and I’m happy to say the system has become pretty easy to pick up and learn.
