En train de relire de près L'Appel de Chtulhu pour suivre un mémoire de master, et l'impression d'avoir 40 ans de moins.

Je suis sensible surtout, dans leur logique littéraire commune, à la puissance fascinatoire et narrative de "l'extrêmement ancien", du "fond des âges" – ou plutôt de leur subsistance dans notre temporalité.

Someone is Kickstarting a fully illustrated omnibus edition of Clark Ashton Smith's Zothique tales, as well as TTRPG books (for 5e, DCC, and Shadowdark) based on the same stories. It looks like you can mix and match fiction and games.
