A well written, complex, campaign for Call Of Cthulhu set in World War Two, using the Acthung cthulhu rules and background. Enjoyable, and not necessarily linear, this is a very big undertaking for any prospective keeper. The players won't appreciate the amount of preparation that this will take to present each of the episodes, which I feel need development from what is given in this set of directions. I enjoyed reading it but I can see that playing it will be a lot easier. There are some flaws, I didn't like the way that the whole country that was visited had its history recited before getting into the scenarios themselves. A lot of this the players are never going to discover, it would have been better to use the space to describe hints and aids for the keeper to present the settings, like music, types of NPC's and photos of locations. Overall this is good stuff but does feel like an old fashioned Indiana Jones style of campaign that isn't what Lovecraft would have favoured. It's pulp adventure with Saturday afternoon war film overtones, if you like that sort of thing then this is for you, if you like your cosmic nihilism. Then this is going to leave you cold.… (mehr)
