Natal Felicitations

Today being the birthday of Howard Phillips Lovecraft – his 135th, to be precise – I would normally dedicate a post to him and his memory. This year, because I've already devoted the entire month of August to that purpose, I thought instead I would simply link to my previous HPL birthday posts, especially for the benefit of those who weren't reading this blog years ago. 

Father of Us All (August 20, 2008)Happy Birthday, Ech-Pi-El (August 20, 2009)Lovecraftian Inspirations (August 21, 2010)121 (August 20, 2011)The Man Behind the Madness (August 20, 2012)"Thou art not gone ..." (August 20, 2021)We Love Crafts (August 20, 2022)H.P. Lovecraft and the Evolution of Genre (August 20, 2023)The War Against Lovecraft (August 20, 2024)The Shadow over August will continue for another eleven days. I've still got quite a few more posts that I hope will be of interest to everyone reading, including more interviews with RPG writers whose work either directly or indirectly relates to Lovecraft. There's also an additional post over at my Substack for those of you who've enjoyed the Dreamer and Moon Prowler classes I posted here recently. Though Ben Laurence is the true Master of the Dreamlands, this month has inspired me to dabble a bit in the Realm Beyond the Veil of Sleep. I already have too many other projects on the go to spend much time there!
Regardless, today's the day to celebrate Lovecraft memory as you see fit (or not). I myself will be re-watching the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's excellent films based on "The Call of Cthulhu" (which I strangely have never reviewed here) and The Whisperer in Darkness (which I have).
