I am a big fan of Lovecraft. I enjoy his work, and feel sympathy for him as I read. He was dealt a rough hand in life, and I think it really shows in his work. Melancholy, sometimes depressing, with little hope or cheer; but exciting and thoughtful, as well. I buy some of the merchandise (games, plush, etc.), but sometimes feel that the spirit of his work gets lost. I do not feel that this is the really the case with this Fluxx game though.
