New Osprey title for 2013 - The Nazi Occult

[Sterling Moose]

Is it Kenneth Hite?  I pulled up the reference and it doesn't mention it being an Osprey:

Yes, that's the book. It's from the Dark Osprey line:

Can the long-joked-about "Osprey Elite 427: Underwear of the Third Reich" be far behind?

Followed by "Osprey Crack Forces 428: War Thongs of the SS"

Followed by "Osprey Crack Forces 428: War Thongs of the SS"

Wouldn't that be "Combat BraSSieres?"

Yeah, OK... my 2 favourite gaming items atm, Zombies and Pulp/Weird War.

Both ordered, plus another Bag of Cthulhu (I need to build a sub-aquatic temple or the likes, I think...)

[Sterling Moose]

Ordered!!

[Xenomrph]

the upcoming WWWII RPG (CoC crossover especially)

Could you go into more detail on this?

I'm guessing that we would go insane from the revelation...

Kickstarter for a RPG system (with several add-ons for use with Dust and so on) called 'Achtung! Cthulhu', mixing WWWII and the Mythos. The KS is finished so I would think the RPG and it's various source books will be available in the next year or so. They (Modiphius) also got together will Clockwork Goblin to do a range of 28mm figures (there are some previous threads in this section) covering WWWII 'updated' creatures - deep ones with equipment and armoured Mi-Go are some of the more interesting options.

Mainly kept an eye on this as always liked the Weird War RPG (have all the books, plus the Savage World ruleset and the WW Vietnam book they did), even though I don't really role-play anymore.

Well played sir, well played.

I'd forgotten about this little gem!

I was ordering some stuff on Amazon anyhow, so it was a painless little add on for me.

Can't wait to browse through it.

I must say, I'm a tiny bit disappointed by the Nazy Occult. Endless ramblings about this or that person with a lot of hints to actual historical occurrences and a few to events depicted in pop culture, but almost no hard linking to either.

I understand that actually mentioning Henry Walton Jones Jr. would be IP imfringement, but as I'm not a WWII afficionado, in most cases I have no idea what event the author is pointing at, and I miss some reference to actual historical documents on which the many speculations are based, and where the quotations come from.

[supervike]

Yeah, I just got mine and have been reading it.  Have to say, so far, it's a bit dry.  I was looking for more of a fantasy version of it, not so much a history lesson in it.

Finished it last night and it doesn't get any better.  Shame really as it had potential.

I think Ken Hite was the perfect man to write this. There are other books that cover the material in more depth but he is a gamer and and is great at pulling various disparate things together to make something useful. That is of course based on his earlier work as I have not had a chance to do more than skim this book. Certainly it is better done than some of the rubbish you see on Sky, he actually does some research.
