Cthulhu Mythos News: Arc Dream Publishing Unleashes “Delta Green: Strange Authorities”

From the press release-

THIS IS THE END AND THE BEGINNING Delta Green co-creator John Scott Tynes merges Lovecraftian cosmic horror with techno-thriller espionage in these four stories and a novel interconnected by a web of deceit:

THE CORN KING An old warrior on a rogue operation is determined to call down the thunder one last time. But he's keeping a secret that may unlock a darker destiny.

FINAL REPORT “Entry One has been breached. Time to get this show on the road. They have no idea the kind of Hell I've prepared for them. May God have mercy on my soul.”

MY FATHER’S SON A Delta Green agent with a mysterious past may learn more than he ever wanted to know when his current case leads where he never dared to go. THE DARK ABOVE In the face of madness and horror, two lonely Delta Green agents reach out to each other. Can they really afford such fragile bonds when the secrets of the night surf roll in?

THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT An agent’s disappearance pulls a Delta Green team into a vortex of horror in this novel of personal apocalypse. The secrets they uncover threaten to ignite a war between the Delta Green conspiracy and its bitterest enemy, Majestic-12 — secrets buried within time itself. With a foreword by Kennth Hite.

ABOUT DELTA GREEN Born of the U.S. government's 1928 raid on the degenerate coastal town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, the covert agency known as Delta Green spent four decades opposing the forces of darkness with honor, but without glory. Stripped of sanction after a disastrous 1969 operation in Cambodia, Delta Green's leaders made a secret pact: to continue their work without authority, without support, and without fear. Delta Green agents slip through the system, manipulating the federal bureaucracy while pushing the darkness back for another day -- but often at a shattering personal cost.

Cthulhu Mythos Game News: ‘Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land’ comes to PC

At last! You no longer have to be an iPhone or iPad owner to play Red Wasp Designs ‘Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land’.

From redwaspdesign-

The developers, Red Wasp Design, revealed the existence of a Cyclopean pact with the Intel AppUp program to spread the insanity onto laptops, Ultrabooks and desktops worldwide. The Intel AppUp center is a service that aggregates, curates and distributes validated digital content delivering a fuller, richer experience on the PC.

The game will launch on the AppUp center on 5th May 2012 at the RPC Germany international RPG event. The games developers will also be at the event demoing the PC version of the game to fans and fellow gamers. The price point will be confirmed on the release date. AppUp is free to install and has lots of games and applications on it for Windows PCs. The PC version of the game runs in widescreen and has been optimised to run on laptops, Ultrabooks™ and desktops including support for Windows 7 touchscreen powered PCs.


Supported by the Intel AppUp developer program, the PC version of the game will also feature language support for German, French, Italian and Spanish gamers. The game’s designer, Tomas Rawlings said, “We’ve had lots of requests from fellow gamers and fans of Lovecraftian horror to bring the game to PC, and thanks to Intel’s support that will now happen. It’s also great to be able to get the game translated into more languages, as Lovecraft’s work has a universal appeal.”

For those new to the cult title, the indie game is a turn-based strategy RPG inspired by the works of cult horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. The game was developed in co-operation with Chaosium, the publishers of the cult horror role playing game, Call of Cthulhu. The game features nine 3D levels set in the trenches of World War One. In ‘The Wasted Land’ the player controls a team of up to six investigators charged with uncovering a deadly inhuman conspiracy underlying the clash of empires of the Great War. Barbed wire, mustard gas and machines guns will prove to be the least dangerous thing that the investigators will encounter as they venture out into No-man’s land to solve the mystery of the Wasted Land. As the game progresses, the player can build up the skills, weapons and equipment of the team to suit their playing style. As well as the physical danger, the investigators must guard their sanity against the myriad horrors that threaten to destroy it.

FUBAR reviews the Cthulhu Mythos Comic Book "Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom"

Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom
Perfect Paperback: 40 pages
Publisher: Arcana Studio (January 1, 2012)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1926914848
ISBN-13: 978-1926914848

As a horror genre fan gets older, marries, and has children, a question arises. "How do I introduce my offspring to my hobby without scaring them for life?"

Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom is a great place to start.

This graphic novel follows young HP Lovecraft as he tries to rescue his family and save mankind from the Outer Gods.

It's Little Nemo crossed meets Nyarlathotep, with a dose of Tim Burton-like quirkiness on top.

The artwork is great and fits the tone of the story like a glove. Fun for kids but also sophisticated enough for an adult reader to enjoy.

GET IT!

If you are a fan of actual play podcasts you are probably familiar with YSDC's Horror on the Orient Express series. But if podcasts are not your thing, now you can follow the adventures of Innsmouth House Players (Bradford Players) in book form!

From yog-sothoth.com-

"The Express Diaries is a novelisation of the Innsmouth House Players (Bradford Players) quite particular journey through this epic Call of Cthulhu campaign. The adaptation is written by Nick Marsh (Soul Purpose, Past Tense, The Ancients) and features superb art by Eric M. Smith (Lovecraftian Tales from the Table and myriad YSDC art). It will be available in eBook, softcover and wonderful jacketed hardcover.

Some of the fundraiser incentives will include a small number of options for having your name or likeness immortalised in The Express Diaries.

It's a great book, featuring what have become some well-loved characters and I'll be proud to see this published. With your support we can make that happen"

Cthulhu Mythos RPG News: Investigator Weapons, volume 1 From Sixtystone Press

From Sixtystone Press-

Investigator Weapons for Call of Cthulhu in the Classic era is a comprehensive collection of weapons available to stalwart investigators of the Cthulhu Mythos and their crazed cultist opponents.

Investigator Weapons covers handguns, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, machine guns, flamethrowers, melee weapons, explosives, and special ammunition; and gathers together all the spot rules for injury, environmental conditions, and firearms combat in one place, as well as introducing many optional rules for enhanced play.

Hans-Christian Vortisch (author of Cthulhu – Waffen-Handbuch, GURPS High-Tech, GURPS Martial Arts: Fairbairn Close Combat Systems, and GURPS Tactical Shooting) has selected several dozens of the most typical or iconic weapons available to the discerning shooter in the 1920s and 1930s. These range from the famous Colt M1911 and Thompson submachine gun to lesser known but more widespread firearms.

Each weapon is illustrated and described in detail, as are variant models. Significantly, each weapon’s operation is described, as are its typical malfunctions. Finishing each weapon description is the movie use of the weapon – so you can see it in action – and a comprehensive statistics bar.

Keepers are not forgotten either. Typical weapons for non-player characters are suggested, as are likely weapons for cultists from around the world. A Keeper’s chapter examines the consequences of magic on firearms and ammunition, and the effect of firearms on Mythos creatures.

Investigator Weapons – the essential weapons book for Keepers and players of all editions of Call of Cthulhu.



Also included in this purchase are separate weapons summary charts, weapons record sheets, and a rules summary sheet.
