Hi everyone, Chris here! Some of you reading this may remember the Kickstarter launch of the original Achtung! Cthulhu RPG in 2013 – ten years ago! That was a big deal for us because it set Modiphius Entertainment on the path to where we are today, overseeing the launch of our brand new IP Cohors Cthulhu which I’ve been working on with a fantastic team for the last 3 years to turn into a really incredible setting for adventure.
Cohors Cthulhu is another big deal for us, as we’re growing the world that was begun in Achtung! Cthulhu into a shared universe that we’re calling Against The Gods Themselves. Building on the dramatic adventures and rules of our other fan-favourite 2d20 roleplaying games, Cohors Cthulhu is a setting for Lovecraftian horror placed against a backdrop of epic heroism, intrigue, and strife during the height of the early Roman Empire, brought to you in this Kickstarter campaign by a brand new 2d20 roleplaying game and accompanying miniatures.
Players will take on the roles of diverse heroes from across the Roman Empire and put aside prejudices to make allies of former enemies in order to confront Eldritch horrors. Powerful as these adversaries may be, there is a reason humanity is coveted by entities that can swallow entire stars—their limitless potential threatens even the gods.
We’re building Cohors Cthulhu into a huge transmedia property. You can download the FREE quickstart and FREE Prelude to the Hidden War novella now, to whet your appetite, and check out the epic trailer. Alongside the tabletop RPG there will be fiction books, audio drama series, miniatures, an adventure wargame and much more!
Where once mighty legions marched, and valiant tribes fought, where legends walked the lands and terrors prowled the vast forests, where ancient secrets unlocked immense power and inhuman gods threatened chaos and destruction… |

Amid a war-torn and fractious world in which Roman legionaries bent on conquest face off against barbarian warriors protecting their tribes, players take on the roles of diverse heroes from regions across the empire: Aegyptus, Assyria, Britannia, Gaul, Germania, Hispania, and even eternal Rome itself. Arising from a wide array of backgrounds, they battle baleful horrors facing all of humanity.
This fight also requires the remnants of forgotten magic preserved by priests of jealous and competing gods. Fickle as humanity’s gods may be, they are sometimes the only recourse against those from beyond the stars. Nyarlathotep, the God of a Thousand Forms, has unleashed myriad schemes across Rome, Germania, and beyond. In the shadows lurk powerful, corrupted survivors of Atlantis, their minds twisted by Sarthothus, the Shattered God. Deep Ones demand sacrifices from coastal villages and conduct raids along the waterways. Mi-Go have sent expeditions into the mountains to plunder Earth’s resources and perform horrific experiments on its peoples. Nightmarish creatures and ancient beings of incalculable power stalk the periphery of civilization, seeking living things upon which to feast… or worse.
The stories of this era will take their place among humanity’s most epic tales. What part will your heroes play in them? |
