Lovecraftian campaign


Advice


I am going to be running a campaign with a lovecraftian feel to it. I plan to use both the horror adventures book and the occult adventure book to for the game.

What is some advice you guys have to help with this sort of campaign?

Any good books on the outer gods and great old ones out yet that I might have missed?


Have them bring back up characters. Kill their characters or drive them insane. Make it difficult. reward them for thinking of creative ways to avoiding or defeating unkillable creatures of horror.

Scarab Sages

Also, have a look at this, which I have personally playtested and left notes on!


I agree with vidmaster7, vack-up character are a must.

Horror, the Unknown/Unknowable, magic is corrupted and leech your sanity and Undefeatable Foes are also strong elements to consider. If your PCs are not trying to be smart or creative, it won't be pretty.

To my knowledge everything Paizo did that is Lovecraftian (including Strange Aeon) is out. Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder is not out yet.
