Sort of correct but please note the difference between a Cat (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=59375.0) and a Hat (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=64124.0). The Hat is active here weekly or even daily so why not just ask...

Your SA stuff is wonderful.   :-*
I have been drawn to the idea of Cthulhu recently, 25+ years ago I was into the Chaosium RPG and recently True Detective has put the lurking horror idea in my mind again. I am tempted.
Is SA tied to a specific time period or could it be brought into the present?

It is set in the 1920's, but would only take a little thought to change the era and move either forwards or backwards in time.

I am going to be using elements of the system for Old West later in the year and also use it for Star Wars gaming in the future.
You cannot get much more versatile than that, I reckon... ;)

There's a WW2 Cthulhu skirmish game coming from Modiphius tied in to the Achtung! Cthulhu rpg setting and the miniatures line that you can get here http://www.modiphius.com/shop.html#!/~/category/id=6570890&offset=0&sort=addedTimeDesc (http://www.modiphius.com/shop.html#!/~/category/id=6570890&offset=0&sort=addedTimeDesc)

Should be out for Christmas and is based on a dialed up version of Spartan Games Dystopian Legions rules with added horror/sanity/magic etc.
