Cthulhu Hack 2E Kickstarter live with Role VTT support as stretch

One of my gaming friends, Paul Baldowski, has just launched a kickstarter to fund the second edition of his rules light games engine for playing horror tabletop roleplaying games in the Lovecraftian universe(*), the Cthulhu Hack. I've both run and played the game several times and it's great fun. It's built off the Black Hack, and light enough to fade into the background. Anyway, I recommend it and you can click through the link above to check it out. The artwork for the new edition looks awesome, and if the hardback is similar to the one produced for The Dee Sanction, it will be lovely.

Hoping that this gets enough followers.

I've been off work the last week, as it's half-term. I had a chat to Paul and have built an official character sheet for the Cthulhu Hack for the Role VTT. This is all ready, and will be released if the @cthulhuhack Twitter account gets to 1,000 followers as part of the campaign.

286 more followers to go.

Even if you don't want to back the kickstarter, you can help the social goal by following the Twitter account.

Anyway, I had a blast with the previous edition of the Cthulhu hack running Pelgrane Press' Cthulhu City (with on-the-fly conversions from Gumshoe), and had great fun playing Valkyrie Nine (the SF based scenario) when Paul ran it at a Garricon. I recommend this game and campaign.

(*) although it's not limited to Lovecraft, as it should work for any horror investigation style game.
