London, UK (February 23, 2021) — Today Modiphius Entertainment, the London-based tabletop publisher and creator, announced the launch of the long-awaited Quickstart rules for its World War II-themed alternate-history Achtung! Cthulhu series. Previously an incredibly popular setting for Savage Worlds and Call of Cthulhu, Achtung! Cthulhu is now available as a standalone tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG), using Modiphius’ own cinematic-styled 2D20 system. The Quickstart rules are available for free from Modiphius’ Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 website.
This Quickstart ruleset will give players everything they need to get started with the world of Achtung! Cthulhu ahead of the game’s full launch. The free Quickstart PDF contains:
- A complete starter rule set for Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 with plenty of hints and tips for new GMs
- Begin your journey into The Secret War with the exciting adventure, A Quick Trip to France
- Five pre-generated characters so you can pick up and play the game straight away
- Battle the special Nazi occult forces and save humanity from the malign power of the Mythos!
Achtung! Cthulhu started out as a setting for Lovecraftian roleplaying — taking place during an alternate history World War II. A secret war is being fought as the Nazis forge alliances with ancient and terrible gods, unearth arcane technologies, and unleash nightmares on the battlefield. Players must discover the truth behind the Mythos’ influence as conflict engulfs the globe during the most significant conflict in world history.
In this pulp-influenced world of brave Allied heroes, secret agents, mysterious mystics, and dauntless two-fisted adventure, players take on the roles of Allied servicemen and women, secret agents, members of the French Resistance, or even hapless civilians caught up in the wider conflict. All stand firm against the twisted might of the Nazis and their occult forces, including the Cult of the Black Sun, who wield foul magic and summon ancient horrors in their bid to unleash Yog-Sothoth and Nachtwölfe, the Night Wolves, who place their trust in weird science and wonder weapons to prevail.
“We’re really excited to share this Quickstart version of Achtung! Cthulhu with our community and give them a first glimpse of what this new and updated edition has in store for them,” said Chris Birch, Founder of Modiphius Entertainment. “This latest edition delves deeper into the darker side of the mythos and throws players into an epic struggle against both the Nazi Occult and the Great Old Ones in a war that has spanned millennia.”
