Carcosa: Initial Thoughts

I picked up Carcosa from Jim LotFP's webstore last night and as I wait for my hard copies of it and Isle of the Unknown to appear, I'm looking through the PDF and I'm thinking:

Carcosa is Thundarr the Barbarian reimagined by Lovecraft, Moorcock, and R.E. Howard, drawn by the 1970s staff of Heavy Metal, and put to motion by Ralph Bakshi.

I have absolutely NO idea who I might play this with, but it's certainly intriguing.

And beautiful.  Jim can put together a good looking book, that's for sure.

  1. That sounds excellent man. I *may* have to look into this just based off the Thundarr the Barbarian referrence.

    Oh, and you gotta add that throwing thingy from Krull...the Glave...
