[QUOTE="Adeptus7, post: 9674208, member: 7042431"] Download: [URL='https://adeptus7.itch.io/lovecraftian-inspirations-from-real-life-and-beliefs']Lovecraftian inspirations from real life and beliefs by Adeptus7[/URL] Audio fragment: [MEDIA=youtube]4x90at2frlA[/MEDIA] The free brochure is intended primarily for Game Masters who play games in RPG systems inspired by Lovecraft’s works, such as Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green. However, I hope that other fans of cosmic horror will also find something for themselves here. The interesting facts presented here may also be entertaining for people who do not know the work of The Loner of Providence, but some of the references may be unclear to them. The article contains several anecdotes – either from real history or from beliefs that exist in the real world, and suggestions on how they can be related to the Cthulhu mythology. [B]You have my permit to use all those ideas as You wish, in Your scenario, game, book, podcast, video, without the need to reward or mention me in any way. Below is the table of contents [/B] GREEK MYTHOLOGY Typhon – a classic but forgotten abomination Zeus – embodied energy In his house underground, dead Hades waits in sleep Apollo – beautiful, deadly light Hermes is the gate, Hermes is the key Erysichton – slayer of living trees, eater of self NORDIC MYTHOLOGY A jotun is not the same as a giant, but it can be made into an abomination Odyn = Nodens, Loki = Nyarlathotep Or is Odin an abomination? Einherjers and Odin the human POLISH FOLKLORE AND LEGENDS Jan Twardowski – the first man on the Moon Silent night, starry night Church in Trzęsacz – Deep ones do not leave their own, even after death WESTERN EUROPEAN FOLKLORE The Monstrous German Pied Piper Ys – Deep Ones princess vs clan of eldritch saints Jentilak and a Christmas cutthroat Dragons come in every shape and size TRUE (OK, SLIGHTLY FAR-FETCHED) HISTORY Invasion of the Sea Peoples Greater Germanic Antarctica The emperor out of the time The Indus civilization Order of the Nine Angles – sometimes reality is just as bad and mad as a horror TRUE (SERIOUSLY) SCIENCE Mad mathematicians Humans like ants, ants like zombies Halny and other foehn winds – the whisper of the wind brings madness There is more to dimensions than dimensional shamblers ABRAHAMIC BELIEFS Covenant with God and Melchizedek Succubi/incubi, aliens and a sorcerer-pope Double faith Stone from the sky, genies and angels [/QUOTE]
