Cthulhu Mythos/Trivia: Difference between revisions

*** 4th Edition hasn't any direct crossovers yet, but it's made clear that the Far Realm referenced in the standard campaign setting is a realm of Lovecraftian horrors that require the combined power of the gods to repel, and is the source of all psionic powers.

*** And in the [[Pathfinder]] (AKA D&D 3.75) campaign setting, a local race of subterranean Abominations explicitly worships the Mythos and use Shoggoths as guards, while the module ''The Carrion Hill Horror'' is pretty much [[Call of Cthulhu]] without the nasty sanity effects, and the ''Rise of the Runelords'' adventures involve the realms of Leng and Kadath. In general, the creators have explicitly said that the non-Earth specific elements of the Mythos are fully compatible with the ''Pathfinder'' universe, and they run with it.

*** According to at least one story, The Nestene Consciousness, leader of the [[Demonic Dummy|Autons]], is actually one of Shub Niggurath's oft-mentioned but seldom seen [[Explosive Breeder|1000 young]]. [[Clark Ashton Smith]] would be proud. To be fair, he(?) really does look the part.

** [[Sherlock Holmes]] canon, being [[Public Domain Character|in the public domain]], has also been bridged more than once, such as in ''[[A Study in Emerald]]'', ''Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened'' or ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]''. ''Shadows Over Baker Street'' is an anthology of short stories in which Sherlock Holmes investigates various Lovecraftian mysteries.
