Hi, there's a test candidate for this available on Jec's Discord in unofficial-updates, here is a fresh invite link: https://discord.gg/Cku2AhCQ

goodjob kasa

Put a request in with Mlie and it was approved, now we wait.

This seems abandoned, maybe some kind person will adopt it?

As much as I love this (and its associated) mod I think that once the DLC Anomaly came out the author probably felt that it became redundant. I hate to think that this wonderful work is abandoned, but ...

1.5？

does it come with hp lovecrafts cats name

hey brothers, this appears to no longer work. I'm just using VE and not much else, still never make it past the storyteller settings. 'next' button doesn't work. other storytellers work fine.

all of my colonists with darker skin were eaten by cuthulu

Does it work in 1.5? I've tried using him, but doesn't seem to do anything :| Which sucks, cause I'm a huge H.P. fan :)

will get get a 1.5 version or nah?

See April 29th comment from Archer.

I'm guessing Lovecraft updates will be last.

To everyone who is wondering about 1.5 and this mod and the collection assosciated with it. I went back a couple of pages and the mod author hasn't said anything here, all the way back to 2021. I didn't go back further than that, but it was then pages.

I just looked for the (author) tag, didn't bother with reading the comments themselves. Until or unless the author replies, consider this mod ABANDONED.

If the mod author replies, I will ofcourse delete this comment or edit it appropriately.

Will you be updating this for 1.5?

this still work?

Damn dude stop those cat raids, I dont like killing cats

Hello everyone, I’m doing a Lovecraft Run but the tech level is limited to Medieval. Is it normal or is it a bug?
Does Lovecraft storyteller stops the research at medieval?
Thanks in advance.

@Jeffery Epstien

what is "ebt"

and, @toetrukettrain and @Devilsdesign
yeah! I mean, people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and so on. Guess what? They had slaves. A product of their time. Not right, but that's how it was.

Sure, even for the time he was a bit more extreme, but guess what, you can like his stories and disagree with his thoughts!

People need to remember 2 things:
1. Factor in the time period (Lincoln is racist by our standards today, but back then...)
2. Remember, the work is seperate from the man!

@Unicorhoodlum
What, so he can't like Architecture?

@Make Shaving Great Again
yeah, Tolkien wrote great books with lots of details and lore. The side effect? lots of details !

to be completely honest i dont care about it, in fact i find it fucking hilarious, but some of you guys have it wrong, lovecraft was racist for even his time, like a lot of his friends sometimes had to tell him to chill the fuck out, and his friends obviously consisted of mostly white men, in the 1900's

neat

All these ppl surprised that a man living in early 1900s had antiquated ideas about race lol

All these losers who I don't know, my grandchildren wont know, and their kids wont know need to shut up about Lovecraft, the man is a timeless treasure. Go back to twitter, and cry about nearly losing your ebt.

Legend has it.
If you Complete the H.P Lovecraft Rimworld Campaign.
Hell tell you the name of his Cat.

@Unicornhoodlum Yes, he was a great writer. Part of being a great writer -is- having great ideas. Are we going to hold up every writer to the same criticisms? Stephen King, for example, was for a time an alcoholic and drug abuser. Not to mention his works early on were pretty derivative and not really holding any new ideas at all.

Oh, and if authors going on about minutiae is so troublesome I hope you never read Anne Rice or Tolkien.

@make shaving great again His stories did have a fair few problems unrelated to racism. Read one. He wont stop talking about fucking architecture. His vocabulary was limited and repetitive. Et cetera. He wasn't a great writer, he was a person with a lot of good and interesting story Ideas.

doesnt disable black pawns from spawning ;(

@DESSIUM Makes some pretty solid points tbh, Y'all are just racist lmao

@DESSIUM must be on some weapons-grade copium to be seething at a man that died almost a century ago

@DESSIUM I mean, you can keep the virtue signal up at full blast in regards to Lovecraft. Trying to downplay his talent isn't going to help your crusade, though.

No one pretends he didn't have problems. Then again, people act like they were problems that were out of touch with his time. They weren't. Further, he was a dude who didn't like -anyone- that he couldn't keep at distance. He also commonly wore clothes that were in style a century before his time. Yeah, you can stigmatize him as a "bigoted dumbass" and ignore the reality that he was deeply disturbed mentally. In our terms, you by your tirade would be an ableist. Is that any better than what he was?

Like it or not, dude died in 1937. I won't be remembered this long after my death by so many. Neither will you. You can not like him, heck, you can hate him. It doesn't detract from his talent and doesn't make you look any better.

If anyone had a "weak mentality" it was Lovecraft, his horror stories were more often than not just him reeeeing at things he didn't understand, which given how stupid he was, was a lot of things.

Huge part of his stories just boil down to "I'm scared of minorities", "I'm scared of miscengenation", and "Someone tried to explain science to me but because I lack the constitution for math it broke my brain."
Examples of the last being his horror story about Air Conditioners, the light spectrum, or how he's responsible for popularizing the idea that "Non-Euclidean Geometry" is somehow horrifying.

Dude was good at setting a tone and making imaginative prose, but most of his writing was born out of him being a bigoted dumbass who found anything he didn't personally understand to be "Things man was not meant to know." which again, included air conditioning of all things.

His stories were directly born of him having a "Weak mentality" combined with major prose skills.

@V Knives Ok.

I will name my cat after his.

Does this story teller limit research to early industrial?

Can we all just accept that H.P. Lovecraft has never and will never be someone that those with weak mentality can interact with? He wrote some of the greatest horror stories ever written, touched on the deepest most depraved aspects of humanity, and yea he had some hateful opinions.

If you can't handle the darkest aspects of humanity you shouldn't be delving into anything Lovecraftian in the first place.

Grow up comment section, seriously.

why is everyone so soft in this comment section lol. imagine getting triggered by a word

Can name aside, he was, in so many ways, a flaming racist >_<

Plenty of people are working on how to remember and continue his work (without the terrible racism, which is why "working" is such a big word here...)

F.Y.I to those confused about the comments, H.P Lovecraft had a cat named "N*****-Man". I was so confused I had to look it up.

His legacy: One of the, if not the greatest horror writer of all time.

lol funy ofesive kat naem meme lolololol Xdd

And...is there a problem?

So I got a random dead cat omen and my colonists don't wanna butcher it?

This looks good. Been looking for a fun new storyteller.

You should add racism

A recurring symbol of considerable power...

What an interesting author, I hope he didn't name his cat anything strange

Anyone knows what this narrator do in terms of overall balance ? Like, is the game harder, around the same difficulty, etc ?

Remember kids: discuss salaries, solidarity in the workplace etc! But don't call your cats that.

Never ask
A Woman: Her age.
A man: His salary.
H.P. Lovecraft: What he named his cat.

H.P. Lovecraft Storyteller X2 Might be bugged, it's being a whole year with only black cats but the moment I change to the normal storyteller everything works how it should be.
