Tony, what you suggest sounds sensible, and is probably what was intended.Gavin Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362875699031245377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-37575803823350354612012-01-06T16:26:13.960+01:002012-01-06T16:26:13.960+01:00Awesome review!

So I wouldn't really bother trying to figure out the connections between those alien creatures. (Although, the Cthulhu Mythos ENcyclopedia is an amazing book that should be owned by any fan of weird fiction and or fantasy.) <br />I think I would probably come up with my own Carcosa-esque history to explain away the roles those alien beings played in my science fantasy campaign.tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970063276917823644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-32603621765041420342012-01-06T15:41:43.855+01:002012-01-06T15:41:43.855+01:00I still have not yet bought this book, but I love ...I still have not yet bought this book, but I love Carcosa and I feel it is only a matter of time before I end up getting it. My problem is paying the money for it when it might not ever see use with my group other than maybe a oneshot. Still it is an amazing setting.<br /><br />Much of what Geoff has in there comes from all over the cthulhu mythos, not just Lovecrafts works. While nothing beats reading the stories, if you're looking for a good reference tool to go hand in hand with Carcosa, I'd recommend picking up The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia. You can get it fairly cheap from Amazon and its a very good reference for the mythos and would be a great tool to go hand in hand with a Carcosa game. I wrote a review of the book on my blog a few months back.RobChandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751057765555584823noreply@blogger.com
