DMs, do your players drive you crazy? Do they treat your monsters as nothing more than another rung in the ol’ XP ladder? Well, put a stop to that nonsense and drive your players crazy for a change…hell, push them right over the edge of gibbering insanity. That’s right, with the newest offering from Blackdirge Publishing and Goodman Games, you can harness the raving lunacy of H.P. Lovecraft’s tales of terror and the supernatural for you Fourth Edition Dungeons & Dragons game.
So dispense with the mundane kobolds, goblins, and orcs, and populate your next dungeon with elder things and shoggoths. Or, the next time your PCs set sail, have them bump into a slime-coated island covered with ancient ruins where the angles are all wrong and giant, Cyclopean vaults just wait to be opened…
Critter Cache: Lovecraftian Bestiary features over 30 of your favorite, including everyone’s favorite tentacular great old one. Here’s a peek at some of the monster entries you’ll find in the book:
Color out of Space
Cthulhu
Deep One
Elder Thing
Flying Polyp
Ghoul, Lovecraftian
Great Race of Yith
Gug
Mi-Go
Nightgaunt

You beat me to it. I've wanted to do a product exactly like this for some time.
Ah, well. Looking forward to taking a look at it.
Heh, I hear you; I've actually been thinking about this product since 4E was released. I don't know, 4E just spelled out eldritch horror to me for some reason.
Tell you what, you can take the lead design on Critter Cache: Lovecraftian Bestiary II.

I thought the rights to all things lovecraft in role playing were owned (or at the very least leased) by choasuim, the guys that make call of Cthulhu? (I don't think I spelled that right) Not that I'm complaining, I'm very happy about it. I love lovecraftian monsters!

Will Hounds of Tindalos, Dholes,Cho-Cho and Old Man Nodens be included too?
Unfortunately, the hounds of Tindalos and the Tcho-Tchos were not created by H.P. Lovecraft, so they won't (can't) be in the book. The dholes are on the cusp, but they might make it in yet. Nodens is really more of a god, and I wanted this book to be about monsters, so I did leave him out. However, Nodens does appear in the fluff text of a couple of critters - I'm sure you can guess which ones.
