Do You think that all Satanists are just edgy atheists who like metal music? Do You think that Scientologists are the worst real life cult? Do You think that nobody is crazy enough to seriously worship eldritch abominations? I invite You to watch our video about the Order of the Nine Angles. You...

I recently read A Mountain Walked, a compilation of modern writing based on HP Lovecraft. I quite enjoyed the stories. Then I read The Litany of Earth by Ruthanna Emrys, and re-evaluated the stories in the compilation: they were actually really, awfully shallow. Modern writing based on the...

VICTORIAM PER IGNORANTIAM The letters had been chiselled into the doorway. A relatively recent addition to the 18th-century academic architecture we found ourselves in. Grenville patted his pockets for the keys. The corridor was dimly lit by a forty-watt bulb shoddily installed in a wall sconce...

A mod for Civilization V that introduces a bunch of religious elements inspired by HP Lovecraft. Right now, the mod simply adds some new pantheon beliefs which are powerful but have some drawback as well: The Black Goat of the Woods: +2 Faith from Forest tiles, 10% slower Growth Rate Elder...

So I've been thinking about a massively stripped down version that just introduces a bunch more beliefs, which are distinguished by having a downside as well as an...

I've been thinking about my Gods & Things concept for Civ V again. I would dearly love to create it, or at least a simplified version, but as it stands, I don't have the time or the knowledge to do so. If anyone has experience with Civ V modding and would like to collaborate, hit me up....

You can argue to what degree he was a product of his time, and how far he went beyond that, but it's clear that HP Lovecraft was pretty racist and all in all, firmly on the side of the establishment. The cultists in The Call of Cthulhu, apprehended by the police on a voodoo raid, are referred to...

The other day I caved in and bought the expansion packs to Civ V. I've been having a fair bit of fun with it, and definitely enjoying the new religion and trade systems. Of course, it didn't take me very long to give my religion a very silly name, and from there a concept was spawned: Gods &...
