Ehhhhh I'm iffy on it. There are a lot of things I like in the EU, but it would be very, very, VERY hard to keep track of. Some characters are suddenly far more powerful, some are far weaker, there are suddenly a bunch more who are comparable to god tiers out of nowhere, etc.

Isn't the EU basically fanon?

Technically, the Cthulhu Mythos is open to the public domain, there is no definition of "canon" with the Cthulhu Mythos other than what was written by Lovecraft himself.
Personally, I would like EU profiles, but most likely only for new characters, as adding new versions for old ones would just end up incohesive IMO.

I mean, so is the EU for a lot of things, but some is more than others. Certain stories in the EU mythos are from the same publishing company which Darleth compiled HPL's stories under, but I don't necessarily consider them "more canon". EU is EU. I mainly consider things written by HPL or his close friends while he was alive to be the "primary canon".Saikou The Lewd King said:
