General notes on roleplaying games.

  1. Reviewing: Heroes of the Sea, Part 2 of the Zero Point Campaign for Achtung! Cthulhu

    Today I bring you my thoughts about what is up to now the last published product of Achtung! Cthulhu. As its predecessor, it is available for Call of Cthulhu, Realms of Cthulhu and, since last week, for Trail of Cthulhu. Again, will be talking only about the CoC version, which is the only one I have.

    Since it is not a physical book yet I won’t be doing any photo-review, but you can see a few sample pages here. This new booklet is a little bit longer than first part of the campaign ...
  2. Reviewing: Three Kings, Part 1 of the Zero Point campaign for Achtung! Cthulhu

    Now that you all know what is Achtung! Cthulhu and what I think about the setting here you have my thoughts regarding the first MODIPHIUS product, the first part of the Zero Point campaign, Three Kings, written by Sarah Newton.

    As I said in a previous post, this adventure is available on pdf for Call of Cthulhu, Realms of Cthulhu, and PDQ. (Edited: and now also for Trail of Cthulhu). I only possess the first one, so that is the one I will be talking about. As far as I know, the story ...
  3. War of the Dead - Session 1

    War of the Dead - Chapter One: And The Dead Shall Walk The Earth.

    After playing the first 2 parts on Friday I was surprised how fast the campaign moved, in 3 hours we had character generation and we finished parts 1 and 2. Having read ahead the whole of the 13 parts of chapter 1 I can see that the first 4 weeks on the cruise ship are meant to be a hell of a pace, from the outbreak on the first page untill the sinking on the ship at the end of part 4, the players do not really stop ...

    Indeed, the trio found themselves back in the volcanic chamber in their own bodies, perhaps only seconds later. Using the nylon role they rigged to get down, they ascended back up to the top. From there, they were winched aboard the hovering Chocktaw, then LT Chahan had them swiftly on their way back to the Bairoko. Once they touched down on the Bairko's flight deck, it was back down to Pettigrew's lab to discuss their

  5. Guiding Lovecraft: Introducing 'Acolytes'

    I have been a fan of Lovecraft for about four years. I started reading his works when I was an over-night bellhop in a hotel and needed a way to pass the time. So, I went and got a copy of the Necromicon (that big old anthology of his works) and got to reading. My very first Lovecraft story was 'The Outsider' and I've been in love ever since.

    It wasn't until recently that I discovered that Lovecraft was not only wildly popular but also had tons of game based around his works. Sure ...
