Ah yes, I was calling him by his middle name there. Francis Christopher Morgan. ;)

As you doubtless all know, Lovecraft was living in New York (Red Hook :lol: ) with his wife Sonia in 1925, but hopefully my artistic liberty of placing him in Providence doesn't shatter the integrity of our milieu.

The Eduardo Hernandez letters (in Archer's thread) are by Alan Moore, from some spoken word performances.

Looks some sort of a Tales from the Crypt cover... judging by the style.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Yeah, the avatar is from Creep Show. Classic, cheesy horror I grew up on. :D Good stuff! This is my first foray into PbP, and I look forward to gaming with you all. Everyone here has been super welcoming.

It was a nice coincidence that the "current" issue of Weird Tales to my September 1925 game date had an HPL story. The author's better and more well known works come much later.
Awesome coincidence.

A pity the April 1925 issue of "Saucy Stories" has no Lovecraft in it... only love-craft...

Thanks, Socrates and Mantis.

Anyone know of a link, to a scan of the insides, for these magazines?
