Cthulhu Hack RPG: 2nd Edition Hardcover

Cthulhu Hack is a traditional tabletop role-playing game. Friends sit around a table - or meet online - and narrate stories; as the Player, who acts the part of a character in the story, or as the Gamemaster (GM), who sets the scene, leads the tale, plays the part of non-player characters (the extras), and keeps order.

Cthulhu Hack isn't tied to a specific time period or location.

Role-playing offers a lot of games in Lovecraft's mythos, but Cthulhu Hack focuses on simple, accessible rules and mechanics designed to emulate the slow spiral of self-destruction that dominates the original tales. Campaigns becomes about the over-arching threat against the whole of humankind, rather than the insignificant lives of just a few investigators.

This includes: core rules, containing: an overview and explanation of the base game mechanics, Saves and Resources; character creation - both archetype and flexible - allowing you to tailor the player experience; rules for threats, investigation and sanity; the Mythos, creatures, horrid lore and spells; an example of play and an investigation, Save Innsmouth, designed to guide you into the world of both Cthulhu Hack and running memorable and varied investigations.
