Not lovecraftian monsters in general, but those with a defined link to the Far Realms as a 'generic land of gooey more evil than evil that cannot be defined even more evil than chaotic evil its that evil'.I like that stuff, but it has bordered on overexposure at times in the past few years. There are times that it is done very well (Cordell's subtle and very well done use of it in the 2e 'Guide to the Ethereal', and 3e's 'Lords of Madness' by Jacobs et al) and other times that it isn't handled as well (the more recent making of all abberations everywhere linked to the Far Realms).</blockquote>
