Lovecraft ....2014 Kickstarter

[paulus]

How many time have you chaps played Call of Cthulhu rpg?.....how about losing your sanity in a more agreeable time frame

Lovecraft the card game....

Howard Phillips "H. P." Lovecraft was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction.
Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity.

Lovecraft the card game allows you to rewrite the Cthulu Mythos  hopefully without you losing your sanity!

Just curious if anyone else thinks that the goat logo above is too similar to the Strange Aeons Cult of the Black Goat logo.

Are they both too similar to the sigil that is, interestingly, quite old but also trademarked today?

Looks cool, paulus! Any details on how it plays?

Hi lads...thanks for the input...a few details about the game....each player takes on the roll of H.P. Lovecraft....each player has a story board and then you play cards from your hand to either your own story board or an opponents....the tricky bit is that if you play a card to your own story board you lose sanity....if you play cards on a opponents board you don't....certain cards have variable powers....especially the beasties.....the main thing that is slowing the release down is that the playtesters want more cards ....thats the trouble with the Cthulhu Mythos....lots of theme and a rich tapestry to work on

ps the elder sign seems to be different in my opinion from the Sigil of Baphomet and also the Strange Aeons design?....I'm sure if needed though another Elder Sign can be produced

Hi Dave....I'm a big fan of the Pulp Alley system...would be nice to see more Cthulhu inspired shennigans in the world of Pulp Alley, your plot point idea is very good indeed

I'm hoping to use Cthulhu as my eventual background, once I get going with PA. At first the games will have to be basic and conventional to warm folks up to PA and introduce the rules, but my-medium-term goal for PA gaming is to be buying cultists and fishmen.

I don't think that what you have is an Elder Sign.

Thanks, Paul. I hope we can eventually do a full-blown mythos/horror campaign for Pulp Alley. Maybe this card game will get me inspired.
