Green Ronin Announces Kickstarter For New CTHULHU AWAKENS TTRPG

The Cthulhu mythos has enjoyed an explosion of popularity in modern gaming. The Lovecraftian cosmic horror genre has many amazing avenues to explore, and now Green Ronin is creating their own version to use with their Adventure Game Engine (AGE) system, specifically their Modern AGE. Cthulhu Awakens will allow players to easily play in any time between the 1920s and today in what they call the “Weird Century”. This should open up a lot of possibilities for players to more easily play around with this mythos using modern settings and technology. Their goal is to make the game as inclusive as possible, so opening up the world of the cosmic horror genre to many different times and places should give players more freedom to make the game that they want to make. Not that this is impossible in other systems, but there is something to be said for a system that builds this into the rules rather than having to homebrew your own. The AGE system is actually a really fun system to play and is pretty easy to learn. It is exciting to see what new things will be added to make this cosmic horror come to life. The Kickstarter launches on February 15, but you can check it out now to get notifications about the launch, and with special offerings for those who pledge in the first 48 hours, you won’t want to miss it.
