This thread is meant to inspire Lovecraftian Veeky Forums (like Delta Green and CoC) and discuss Lovecraft's works for inspiration along with anything else that fits into this genre or takes place in the Yog-Sothothery. >Previous Thread:

Now before you say STALKER has nothing to do with Yog-Sothothery, I see it as only being a step removed. Instead of having the C-Consciousness causing harm to the noosphere or collective unconscious, they accidentally created a connection with Azathoth or Yog-Sothoth. The connection is mostly closed now, but the blowouts are simply a bit of the Outer God 'escaping' only to disappate quickly. Or even easier, the experimentation with human psychic potential was another of Nyarlathotep's games. First he teaches how to split the atom, then how to master the mind. The Monolith is a proto-cult, a doubly unaware of what they truly worship.

Just because things are inspired by Lovecraft, Smith, Howard doesn't mean you have to specifically use the actual forces of the mythos. Some of my favorite DG/CoC games are ones that are only vaguely connected with actual Yog-Sothothery, if at all.

Of course not, but sometimes people want a clear connection, even if the PCs never learn of it. Though explaining the whole concept of the Zone might be a waste of time if the players are not somewhat familiar. Ah well.
