Before I ask my question, I'd like to be clear: this is a request to generate some ideas, not for lists of books and published adventures I likely already have.
I've looked in CoCd20, Cthulhu Dark Ages, Heroes of Horror, the Freeport trilogy, most of my Chaosium/Pagan Publishing BRP Cthulhu books (and I have a ton of them) and even the Lords of Madness book. I'm having a tough time actually coming up with ideas for incorporating the Mythos into my D&D game.
Horror games? No prob--I have scads of Ravenloft products, Darkness & Dread and even Nightmares of Mine. I have the tools needed to run a scary game. What I don't have is Mythos-specific, Cthulhu-centric plots that I can use to challenge my (currently 3rd level) party. I'd especially like something that can be an over-arching plot that I gradually build as my players gain levels.
So, lay it on me, baby. Post your coolest adventure seed, squamous plot, loathsome conspiracy, hideous ritual, or convoluted investigation that mashed the Cthulhu mythos directly into your D&D game...or allowed it to subtly lurk in the darkened corners.
Please, anything--even if it's a few words, you'll spark ideas that will get me started.
Oh, and a small request: Deep Ones, sahuagin, mi-go, beholders and mind flayers are over-done, played out, cliché and tired. I'm looking for something...different. Heck, I'd love to hear about some human opponents--after all, we're the most hideous monsters, aren't we? ...And thank you, in advance!
