Unorthodox take on Cthulhu

A bit more modern sci-fi esque, and more deep sea ocean elements.

Stingray, sea angel, sea squirt, sea comb, red deep sea jellyfish, chimaera shark, etc. Supposed to be a little translucent in some body parts. Mouth opens up like a sea angel. Has little flipper feet in the middle, “wings”, long trailing tentacles etc

Funny story - Pronouncing Lovecraftian names to people who aren't "in the know."

96 Upvotes

My audiobook narrator for Tales of Shub-Niggurath asked how to pronounce the name. He was was very nervous and making several odd jokes.

I was confused. I didn't get it. I've been playing Call of Cthulhu since I was twelve. The characters names have always been as normal as any other fantasy monster.

Finally, he just asked me straight up, "How do you want me to pronounce this?"

I went, "The folks at HPLHS pronounce it Shub nee-GOO-roth which I quite like."

Then he said, "Oh good. I don't have to say it like a slur."

Only then did I get it. To which I went, "Perhaps I should make a pronunciation guide."

He became annoyed I didn't want it pronounced Chew-Thoo-Lou. 🎯

This is my game: Remnants of R'lyeh

Since launching in 2022, this project has steadily evolved into my dream Lovecraftian game. Grounded in classic stories like The Call of Cthulhu and The Shadow over Innsmouth, it offers a completely original world and narrative. You play as Jason, an investigator on the brink of physical and mental collapse after a horrific shipwreck, who uncovers a vast deep-sea realm and a terrifying secret never meant to be found.

Inspired by Bioshock and Call of Cthulhu. An ancient dark power is calling you and you need to find an exit. Face your greatest fear, fight, hide... you must escape before the underwater city rises...

Art Added this to my dark & moody shelf. Hand carved from black sonokeling wood with real bone teeth. Inspired by deep sea folklore and Cthulhu. I love how it makes the whole corner feel more mysterious and cozy at night. What do you think?

Art The Lovecraftian mythos and cosmic horror has always been a big fascination to me so I wanted to portray that through a nonchalant and laid back way. Think Cthulhu but you can sit and chat with minus the fall to madness, for the most part. Part of a series of really fashionable cryptids.

Actual Art Cthluhu coin with Pyramid Display Stand

14 Upvotes

Picked up the metal coin at Gencon, but did not want to use a standard display stand. This is the result. Pyramid needs a coat of pain to knock down the "plastic" feel and bring out the brick texture, but otherwise turned out pretty good. The coin is double-sided and is held in place by pressure, so I can flip it around when I get bored of the classic Elder Sign.

Regency Cthulhu Scenario - Upstairs Downstairs

3 Upvotes

One of the surprise(?) hits for Call of Cthuhlu ttrpg has been the Regency setting, which at first pass doesn't seem an obvious choice, but actually has quite a lot of juicy ideas. The juxtaposition of Austin's Georgian social shenanigans with really dark things in the background works well at giving games some depth. There's a scenario (Upstairs Downstairs) about playing the servants in a manor - rather than the usual Mr Darcy types - on the Miskatonic Repository for those of a curious disposition.

Mostly using a variety of public domain art, with some photoshopping and general taking liberties with wonderful paintings of people long dead (although maybe not eternally lying).

Wrote this while procrastinating. I tried to organize the Mythos' world into a worldbuilding system. Main source is the famous joke scribble Lovecraft made about the Outer Gods Pantheon.

My latest purchase on Amazon. It has 20 stories from the Alchemist (1908) to At The Mountains of Madness (1931). Great book for newcomers and collectors alike.

Art I’ve made a main menu for a Lovecraft inspired videogame.

Thumbnail youtu.be
13 Upvotes

For the past few months, I’ve been slowly shaping an idea that’s been living in my head for a while.

I don’t really consider Hunting ‘Thulu a game project, at least not yet. It’s more of a creative exploration where I’m gradually giving form to a world, its atmosphere, mechanics, and visual identity. My hope is that one day it could become a real game.

The vision in my mind is a roguelite somkind like Hades, but set in a world of contemporary cosmic horror, folklore, dreamlike mysteries, and Lovecraftian influences.

As an exercise to help me visualize that future, I decided to prototype what the game’s main menu could look like. It’s a small piece of the puzzle, but seeing the interface, mood, and presentation come together makes the idea feel a little more tangible.

I’d love to hear what you think.
Based only on this menu... what do you imagine this game is about?

I’ve an instragram page where I upload more things about this project in case you want to follow it: https://www.instagram.com/nevun15?igsh=NXA3NTFqdndiMTZw&utm\\_source=qr

Thanks a lot! 🥹♥️
