May be you should! > Oleg, the Necronomicon is nothing more than a creation of H P Lovecraft (circa 1930's and 2nd only to Poe in American horror) that he refered to in several of his FICTION stories to spice up the plot and make them SOUND realistic. having read all of the Lovecraft that i can get my hands on, i think i could have written the Necronomicon over a weekend and a few 6-packs. when i saw it for the first time, i chuckled and was glad some other enterprising capitalist (Simon, by "name") had the weekend to devote to it (when i read it, i realised "Simon" spent even less time - Lovecraft is probably still rolling over in his grave). > >So next time you blurb something up on the net, make sure you KNOW WHAT YOU >ARE TALKING ABOUT! > i wasnt going to bore the net with this literature lesson until you made that crack. its people taking the Necronomicon too seriously (as you obviously do) that got the 'cthulhu mythos' (the name of H P Lovecraft's more popular works) deleted from the latest AD&D 'Deities and Demigods' (by your .sig i assume you know what I'M talking about) - a censorship that *really* made me flame. >-----------------------------------+ >"I disbelieve an army of invisible | > mind-flayers!" | >"OK.
