Background:
Most people know HP Lovecraft as one of the most influential
horror writers of the 20th century. What many don’t know is that
during his younger years he was also an occasional traveling companion and ally
of the Doctor. Despite being a homebody, H.P. had several adventures with the
Doctor (gaining inspiration for the creatures of his Mythos) though misfortune
seemed to plague him.
Very nice. Doctor Who is a good choice for stating up real people.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking he's an ally early on and an enemy later. I really want to use Nyarlathotep as a big bad and Lovecraft would be a great servant.
DeleteI like your choice of actor there, the mannerism and look are almost pitch perfect.
ReplyDeleteI cast him before I remembered that he actually had played Lovecraft in Necronomicon. I just kept thinking of Herbert West and his character from the Frighteners.
DeleteVery nice write up! Extreme kudos! You've given me an idea for a second (off-theme) post for H for today. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should submit this writeup for the "Diary of the Doctor Who RPGs" fanzine. I know they're always looking for content.

I've checked out the fanzine, but never thought about submitting stuff. Thanks to your confidence booster, I think I will.
