is this larp?
>>24684091One way to find out
>is this book made up by a 20th century horror writer a larp?
>>24684114It's funny how almost all occultism is just shit made up by a fiction writer which decades later some losers decided to start a larp around
>>24684091No, it is fiction.
>>24684120This is one of the things which I think late millennials, zoomers, etc, really miss out on. Back around 1990 my adolescent self stumbled onto a copy of the necronomicon which had been left on a bus stop bench. The back cover summary completely played into the mythos about it being secret knowledge and all that shit. So I checked it out on the early 90s internet and some BBSs (dialup sort although the internet was also dialup in those days) and all i found were sites which completely fed into it. I even went to the library to research it but found nothing, which old fed into its supposed secret knowledge. I was completely sold on it being secret knowledge and that I had found something truly important, information few had. Years later long after I had forgotten about it, I found out what it really was and realized those internet sites I stumbled onto were just fans of Lovecraft having fun. Everyone young enough to grow up being able to ask google and search wikipedia missed out on being able to believe in the way only a child can and I think they really miss out on something which was a part of childhood for every generation prior. Also, the occult is far more than losers larping about fiction and has an interesting history. Not to suggest it has any validity, just that it is more than you represent it as.
