Back when Modiphius announced their Rise of the Black Sun Campaign for Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish, there was a question about the main rulebook for the game. I did a small hunt, but didn't find anything. Reason was, the main rulebook apparently wasn't out yet. Well, that's not the case anymore. The Acthung! Cthulhu Skirmish main book is available now.

World War II was pretty horrific. All wars are. But at least there aren't elder gods meddling with them... at least that we know of, anyway. Such is not the case in Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish. There, Hitler's occult researchers have come across things that man really shouldn't be tempering with. Now, the new weapons that the Black Sun have created are going to be unleashed upon the Allies. Will it drive them back out of Europe? That's the question in Rise of the Black Sun, a new campaign book, that is now available over on the Modiphius website.

For some gamers, just diving into the deep-end with a new game and starting out with a huge game works just fine. I'm not some gamers.

Sometimes we miss out on a game system, or it simply wasn't on our radar until later on. Then, when you find it's got a whole bunch of supplements and other material, you may be intimidated into not starting it because of the thought of having to pick everything up for it. Well, Modiphius hears you and is here to help with their Achtung! Cthulhu Mega-Bundle.

Achtung! Cthulhu has started their Kickstarter campaign. They've already made their funding goal in just one day, so it's stretch goals for the next 48.



From the campaign:

Inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos of HP Lovecraft, Modiphius Entertainment wants to bring you the Keepers and the Investigator's Guides to the Secret War, for use in the terrifying World War Two roleplaying game setting, Achtung! Cthulhu. Both books are compatible with the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game, and the first, very easy stretch goal, will allow us to make it compatible with Savage Worlds as well!

With this Kickstarter and your contributions Modiphius will raise the money needed to pay for the development, artwork and production of a full print run of both books in soft back. The first stretch goal will add Savage Worlds rules and stats to both books plus some extra content for everyone; the next will upgrade the Keeper's Guide to a full colour hardcover print run; the next will upgrade the Investigator's Guide to a full colour hardcover print run; while further stretch goals will unlock further books and campaigns, miniatures, and so on - see 'Stretch Goals' below for more details.
