Hello,
We, well my son really , is new to the Pathfinder game and he is looking for advendture stories but solo adventures stories. Are the Pathfinder Tales that one can purchase from this site solo adventures? I tried to find out this answer by reading about the product as well as reading the help section. I know this is off topic for you but I could not find how to post elsewhere and we looked at this site and messageboard because we live outside Brattleboro. Thanks for any information you may have for us!

I know allot of people here like H. P. Love Craft’s stories. Allot of people love the “Chuthulu Mythos”.
My exposure to the “Chuthulu Mythos” , apart from the D&D then Pathfinder game, has been fairly limited. I have played in a couple of Chuthulu rpg games with friends and I enjoyed myself. I realized I mostly enjoyed myself because I was playing with my friends.
I have been told that I live in “HP Lovecraft” territory……SE Vermont. More specifically Brattleboro VT. A friend has informed me that Lovecraft spent some time in the Brattleboro Retreat. I have also read “The Whisperer in Darkness” which takes place in Brattleboro and Townsend, and mentions the West River. These are places I have some familiarity with.
I am curious. What do people like about the “chuthulu’ mythos? Why should I be interested in it?
Thanks
Until you actually read the stories themselves, the actual source material, then you won't understand. Lovecraft is essentially the Tolkien of the Gothic Horror genre. He's the inspiration of a bunch of other great names of the period and afterward, and he still inspires today.
But unless you actually read some of his work, you won't be able to understand why.
Thank you all for your thoughts and opinions. LazarX, you make a good point. Until I have read more short stores then "The Wisperer in the Dark", I wont understand HP Lovecraft's appeal. Lovecraft being the "Tolkien" to horror, as Tolkien was to Fantasy makes sense.
Again thank you for your thoughts, I hope you keep them coming. I am enjoying reading the thread.
