I love this group
So, what homebrew stuff have you added to the mythos? I usually try to come up with new aliens and gods but have some of the same reference points as the standard mythos, because my players have mostly read lovecraft themselves. Better to keep them guessing what will happen next, because meta knowledge is unfortunately insidious.
These threads died out fast, welp

Because there is no content. Not picture dump, no disscusion, no story tiem, not even fucking Old Man Henderson. You can't just create new thread, slap 'something general' as topic and go.
Two questions for the fine folks of /ysg/:
1. Where should one start to really get into the mythos? I've read a couple of short stories but don't know where to go from here. Should I mostly stick with Lovecraft at first?
2. Call of Cthulhu vs. Trail of Cthulhu: is either one better, in your experience? Does either handle certain types of games better? For reference I'm thinking of setting a game in the spookiest setting I can think of,Appalachia in the 30s

In regards to getting into the mythos, read a lot of Lovecraft and then maybe dip into Clark Ashton Smith. There's some Yog-Sothothery overlap in the handful of stories that I've read. I find his style a little easier to digest than Lovecraft's. You could also try August Derleth's stuff, but a lot of people frown on the black and white morality that he injects into the mythos.
