Call of Cthulhu Interview

Since I am here, can anyone recommend me a book from lovecraft that is simple to read one story before bed(well I am not going to get nightmare, don't worry), and has many different tales(well so far all his books seem to have many stories)?

I got a Lovecraft book at home, and it is such a pain to read I gave up.

Despite being called the Cthulu mythos most of the stories doesn't involve him / it at all. Innsmouth is mostly known for the Deep Ones (fish / human hybrids of sotrs). The Arkham asylum is another known Cthulu mythos place (well before The Joker ended up there 8).

The RPG is, as yes4me pointed out, quite different from the majority of the other more popular ones, like AD&D. You seldom fight the monsters and almost never run into the really big ones. Cthulu is asleep at the bottom of the ocean and had he not been, we'd all be dead. That's how powerful these aliens are.

This game, if done properly, should be a lot of fun. The Cthulu mythos is a very interesting one if you disregard some of the nonsense Lovecrafts followers has added to it ('good' gods versus 'evil' gos for instance).

is this the game that someone posted all those videos of a while back? It was some guy in a cave, being chased, also there was one video that took place on a boat, and people were getting picked off

How do you pronounce Cthulhu?

Cthulhu is a monstrous, godlike sea creature created by H.P. Lovecraft, and made most famous in his short story "The Shadow over Innsmouth." Cthulhu is also mentioned in other stories, if I recall correctly, including my favorite, "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward."

Gee, why am I suddenly thinking of old-school Metallica?
