It's important as a creative I think to every so often to re-evaluate the things that you draw inspiration from. While I'd heard of and looked at some of the works from the likes of Derleth and other contemporaries of HPL, I always stuck to the "core" of it. 1/??? https://twitter.com/ellle_em/status/1290588187652509696

Because I generally was of the opinion that I HAD to to get the real side of things, though reading this thread made me really start to reconsider my stance and also look back at some of my old writing for campaigns I run and lore I wrote for fun 2/???

But looking back, I think some of my favorite things from the genre were things that were fleshed out or codified by Derleth, not Lovecraft. And reading this makes me think that I really should look back and re-evaluate what things I do and don't love about 3/???

The genre and how I view it as a source of inspiration. Especially how I regard HPL and it's importance to the genre as a whole. I think it's worth doing even if it's not something I write about as often anymore. 4/4
