My lucky item would be my fez. Ever since I started wearing one I seem to have an easier time at things. I think it is because the fez makes me feel laid back whilst playing RS.

Or be a Metallica fan (like me): the title of an instrumental is based on it: The Call Of Ktulu. (which is obviously based on Lovecraft too, Cliff was a fan of those tales) There are a lot in the songs: 'Aye Car Rum Ba': Bart Simpson. 'Catch Me If You Can' is a movie I believe. 'Escape' is a Metallica song too, but it's a common used word so it probably isn't based on that. 'Faithless' is some music act too, but same thing as with Escape here. 'Golden Touch': the tale of king Midas (sp?). 'Hells Bells': AC/DC song. 'Tomb Raider': Lara Croft (sp?) There must be lots more I didn't notice. I forgot about the song... lol. Yeah, Cliff was a huge fan. I am just waiting for the day I find some obscure Ac/Dc or GnR, heck even Primus reference in game. I have to say, for my wife and myself, the little easter eggs/references make the game more fun and worthwhile.

There is allot of Lovecraft references or similarities to his tales in RS. One was already listed, Ezekial Lovecraft. On braindeath isle you got these squid called Karamthulhu, which is a Cthulhu (squid faced being from beyond the stars in Lovecraft's tales) refference/pun on star spawn. You really have to know the tales well to get the joke there. Witchhaven is similar to the Lovecraft tale "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and what happens to the people is eerily similar. Dagganoths are Similar to Dagon (another star creature from the tales) "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die" That qoute was in game somewhere. I remember reading it and laughing allot on the irony of the qoute vs. what I was doing at the time. I know there are more Lovecraft things in RS, but those are all I can recall at the moment.
