Lovecraft?

By reply, who all here is familiar with H.P Lovecraft?

Can't say I'm all that familiar, but I've certainly heard of the man and his work.

I do know a group that plays the P&P game Call of Cthulhu. Maybe I should look into that...

I read The Crawling Chaos, which included a bunch of stories of his.

I've read his book of New England short stories, which was pretty neat. I intend to continue reading his works one day.

Huge fan here! Hard to point out a favorite story, since there are so many good ones, but since Cats of Ulthar was the first short-story I ever read written by him I'll have to say it's my favorite.

Nice, I myself am partial to the Statement of Randolph Carter. Btw, have you ever read Call of Cthulhu while listening to the song by Metallica? It will blow your mind.

I love Metallica also, but I never thought to do that, thank you kind sir.

On the "lighter" note, anyone played Cthulhu Saves the World? :)

I was looking at it but ended up never getting it, I bought Dungeons of Dreadmoore instead.
