Two Guides For Lovecraftian Horrors

Two Guides For Lovecraftian Horrors - RPG Review

Рет қаралды 43,780

Күн бұрын

Comparing two similar, yet different books that detail the traits, biology, and ecology of Cthulhu Mythos monsters. Both are system-neutral, making them perfectly suitable for any tabletop RPG that uses Lovecraftian creatures, whether that be Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, or Dungeons & Dragons.

As someone who only owns Peterson's Field Guide, your criticism about the art really resonated with me. While I too think that the art is gorgeous, It's "too cool" for my taste. You see these creatures and think "Yeah, that would be cool to beat up one of those, they look cool" instead of the lumbering, bloated atrocities they are supposed to be. I showed one of my players - who doesn't really know much about Lovecraft (I'm trying to introduce him through Call of Cthulhu to the Mythos) - the Field Guide and he only talked about these monsters as if they were setpieces and how cool it would be to use them, because he didn't realize that's not what these beings are supposed to evoke in him (or at least his character) and the art didn't seem to convey that feeling. As I'm not running Pulp Cthulhu, that's not really the reaction I'm looking for. I might get the Anatomical Guide just for the more crude art, though I don't know if and/or when it's available in my country. Edit: And yes, the differences in the art to the actual creatures are also bothering me. Especially regarding the Ghouls.

My favorite monster book is Hideous Creatures: A Bestiary of the Cthulhu Mythos, it is Trail of Cthulhu book but it got so much information, story hooks and handouts about monsters that you can use it in any Cthulhu game. I highly recommend.

@visageliquifier3636 3 жыл бұрын

It bears mentioning when trying to decide that both PDFs are less than either book. This can grant some additional utility if you plan to use them as handouts since you can select the paper for the text, capture and print only a certain image, or even dog/crumple/scorch/put coffee mugs on/smear ichor on the materials to be setting appropriate or add verisimilitude.

I don't think I'd actually ever actually use a monster from such a book directly. The thing I enjoy most about lovecraft is this constant fear of the unknown. If the players can know this stuff in advance, that takes away from that feeling. But, both of these sound very useful in providing ideas. I really like your idea of just handing out the sketches. I probably wouldn't show a picture of a creature in its entirety.

@hellocentral5551 3 жыл бұрын

2:14 I almost feel that you get a tiny advantage of you use an Earth setting before modern day as well. Imagine if you found this handbook about Eldritch breasts and Lovecraftean horrors, and then you see that one of the citations is from 2130. It could be a set up to a lot of cool adventures, and the idea of a handbook from the future would be a great way to drag the PC's into the campaign, because it's not like anyone else knows that David Meyers goes insane getting a vision of The Yellow King's true form in 1934, so you might as well check it out.

I wasn't all that interested in these until you floated the idea of using them as hand-outs. That's genius. Found PDFs of both for ten bucks apiece, and pulled the trigger immediately. I suspect I'll like the Anatomical Guide better, if only because the Chaosium art is a little too kewl for how I see Lovecraft. But I'm sure the text in the Petersen's Guide will make for great mythos tome fodder.

Sure a tad pricey (~$90Usd) but so gorgeous and so worth it. Two huge books with every critter I can think of from the Mythos, with lovely pics and literally 'volumes' of info to digest. Also contains great analogues on fighting, damage, stats, normal critters, etc. Highly recommended. I have a great deal of wonderful reading in store.

@NefariousKoel 3 жыл бұрын

They're especially helpful for portraying games set in different time periods. One big hurdle to GM'ing those is being able to portray everyday life, customs, and spoken phrases enough to give it a somewhat authentic flavor. Without a single written work focused on covering what life was like in the period, it can suck up a lot of time digging around and researching bit by bit. Fortunately the latest CoC edition books do a fine job of summarizing such things, but many RPGs with historical settings don't quite include enough.

Malleus Monstrorum: Cthulhu Mythos Bestiary For those interested this was something I believe just came out this year. Bought this two volume on amazon for roughly 80 bucks. Packed with info and creature stats at 250 entities to choose from. Great addition to you hunters out there my only gripe is I feel little effort was made to include pictures and art for a large portion of the monsters given. Would like to see what some of these look like but you'll have to google what you can to see what was not included to see what these beings look like. Still a definite buy.

This all reminds me of the anatomical journals of one of the Maximilian Royce in Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem. You get detailed drawings of each and every creature in the game, with notes and everything. The best part, though, are the made ravings of Maximilian the first time you look at each one, which range from being more crazed commentary of the creature to ravings about how everyone thinks him a lunatic and how will have to do something to prove them all wrong.
