[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 7760882, member: 926"] I actually first read and fell in love with Lovecraft (HA!) before I started gaming, but had no idea who Lovecraft was until I discovered him through the Call of Cthulhu RPG. My family has always been huge readers, and we've have always had thousands of books in our house, picking up new ones when we found something interesting at yardsales and the like. When I was around 10 or so my grandmother picked up a copy of [I]The Dunwich Horror and Other Tales[/I] paperback at a yardsale because it looked weird, the edition with the weird black and white picture of Wilbur Whately on the cover, and I got hooked on the book but lost it not long after and could never find it again nor remember who the writer was. Not long after that I discovered an old hardback Alfred Hitchcock collection of horror stories that had [I]In The Walls of Eryx[/I] in it, and I likewise fell in love with that story without ever realizing it was the same writer. It wasn't until I was 15 back in '92 that I was finally able to find a group of friends to play D&D with (after a few abortive attempts with oddball groups who wouldn't accept me) and from there was also introduced to CoC. And when I started reading the CoC rulebook I finally put 2 and 2 together and got 13 and I realized that all these different weird stories I had been discovering and loving for years had all been written by the same incredible writer, and I was finally able to put a name to him and go out and gather all those stories I thought I would never be able to find again.
