The Cthulhu Hack

The Cthulhu Hack is a standalone game of investigation horror, pitting ordinary people against the sanity-shattering horrors of Lovecraftian gods and monsters. With an elegant dice mechanic and fast, player-focused game play, The Cthulhu Hack is designed for quick and easy pick-up play - and now updated with optional rules playtested over the two years since the release of the first edition. Based on the hugely popular The Black Hack and the works of H P Lovecraft, The Cthulhu Hack uses a simple dice mechanic to emulate the dwindling investigative resources and declining sanity of ordinary people facing cosmic horrors. The 52-page expanded book includes: - read-to-play archetypes for quick pick-up play or a fast and flexible character creation system to tailor Investigators to your specific needs - a range of mechanics, both standard and optional, to tailor the game to your style - including Wealth, Fortune, Adrenalin and Shock - a complete adventure - Save Innsmouth - and a 2-page example of play
