I have noticed more lately just how much influence Lovecraft has on fantasy gaming. It seems like the influence keeps growing, so much so that you see it in various modules, and even in 4th edition's star pact for warlocks. I realize some of it has always been there, such as with illithids, but it seems to be even more prevalent than ever before.
Has it come to the point that to truly appreciate D&D and gaming in general, a person has to read Lovecraft?
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of horror. I get that Lovecraft is a highly influential writer and I respect that, but I'd rather not delve into the realm of horror if I don't have to.
