[QUOTE="Cthulhu's Librarian, post: 1909442, member: 11064"] :\ Can't say I agree with that, but different strokes for different folks and all that. I had a professor in college who is a Lovecraft fanatic, and he's the one who got me into the stories initially. I had read a few but it was hearing him that made me read them again, and I got it. I can't really put it into words, you either like him or you don't. Now the whole gamers liking Cthulhu is a different thing altogether. I think there are plenty of gamers out there that like the IDEA of Cthulhui with the tenticles and the madness and all that, and think it's "cool", but wouldn't know a Lovecraft story if it hit them on the head. And everytime I see it spelled Cthulu, or Ctulu, or Cuthulu I have to restrain myself from correcting them. One board I was on for a while had a bunch of people telling me that I spelled the name wrong in my user name, and it was useless to try to correct them. [/QUOTE]
