Cthulhu phagn! Ia! Ia! who else here think that some of lovecrafts
stories provide great run material. I for one, have done the following
stories into runs(the run accompanies the title)

The mountains of madness: The team is sent to the anartic continent to
look for something. the corp didnt say what. they are told to go to
point bla bla and find something and bring it back. they find the city
of the lod ones, meet up with the shoggoths, lose three members(only 3
left) and barely make it out alive.

damn, I thought I had more then that. ah well. someone else post some
lovecraftian runs, and I will put them on my page when I'm done making
it.

Myself, I have done some fairly extensive things with HPL stuff.
Set up Arkham as a "theme city" then;
1) a Wendigo Named Ithaqua set up a cult
2) A Nosferatu took on the "Black Man" aspect of Nyarlothotep
3) The Black Man worked with a cult of druids to summon a big ole spirit,
which possessed the Animatronic Cthulhu from the "Call of Cthulhu" ride
4) A spirit in teh form of a snake was bound into a mound, the mound of
Yig.
can't remember any more Cthulhu-esque things of the top of my head, but I
also had a wraith and the book series "Time-Life Guide to Arkham" and
more deaths than in any other action adventure? :-)
(which, started the "if I flirt with her, will she die?" thread)

I did a run where the runners were hired to go to a remote mountain town to find out why
the 300 construction workers who were building a ski lodge vanished for no apparent
reason...things got real messy real fast, as their helicopter crashed, stranding them on
the mountain with maddened cultists, evil man-eating trees, and an abandoned house with
unspeakable evil lurking in the basement...the run ended with everyone but one character
getting killed and/or eaten by Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath...
