Back in my day (the 90′s oooo) there was a debate to let us have a RPG club at school or not because D&D was worshiping Satan. I’m glad that most people no recognize gaming as the fun, creative, social, and intellectual pursuit that it is.

Outstanding! So great to see so many people enjoying Lovecraft in so many ways. I just attended the NecronomiCon in Providence and it was a celebration of Lovecraft from start to finish, beginning with the unveiling of Bryan Moore’s excellent bronze bust of HPL at the Providence Athenaeum and ending with Saturday night’s Waterfire concert featuring Lovecraftian monsters.

Beating “Arkham Horror” is nigh-impossible; it’s really a tough game. But these kids totally win!

(Wow… “These kids”? Am I sounding like an old gamer, yet?)

Kudos to the library and the teens who really came up with a fun, innovative way to celebrate literacy and one hell of a great game!

Well done, everyone! This is a great idea to get the weirdness of H.P.’s fiction transmitted to the youth. Keep it up!

Seems like this game could be run as a fundraiser for the public library. Sell tickets for games and maybe food and invite the community to play. I love this sort of community project, and kids getting into Lovecraft (which can be quite dense and hard to read sometimes) gives me hope for the future.

That was awesome to read about! If love to get in on a life sized game like that. Sounds like it would go get at a game convention.

What a great experience! Bravo to all concerned. I’ve forwarded this link to the online hub The Lovecraft eZine (http://lovecraftzine.com). This is the sort of thing editor Mike Davis loves to highlight.
