Das Handbuch Cohors Cthulhu RPG: Player's Guide ermöglicht es dir, Charaktere in der düsteren und epischen Welt von Cohors Cthulhu RPG zu erschaffen – einer Umgebung voller uralter Lovecraft-Schrecken zur Zeit des antiken Römischen Reiches. Schlüpfe in die Rolle eines römischen Legionärs, eines Intriganten aus Griechenland oder Britannien oder eines tapferen germanischen, gallischen oder keltischen Kriegers, der sich dem Bösen stellen muss! Es erwarten dich Feinde aus den Reihen des Mormo-Kults, Schergen von Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth und weitere uralte Lovecraft-Gemeinschaften.

Erstelle deinen Charakter aus 6 verschiedenen Kulturen (römisch, germanisch, ägyptisch, gallisch, griechisch und barbarische Foederati), mit der Wahl aus 10 verschiedenen Hintergründen, 6 Archetypen (Mystiker, Weiser, Intrigant, Schurke, Späher und Soldat) sowie 12 Spezialisierungen.

Cohors Cthulhu RPG nutzt dasselbe 2d20-Spielsystem wie das erfolgreiche Rollenspiel Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 RPG.

Das Handbuch ist auf Englisch.

RISE UP AGAINST THE GODS THEMSELVES!

Welcome to an epic struggle of heroic mortals pitting blade, spear, and bow against the claws and tentacles of eldritch horrors from beyond the stars. These Hidden Wars in the shadows of ancient Rome are all that safeguards humanity from oblivion.

Enter a world of stalwart Roman legionaries, brave Germanic, Gaulic, and Celtic warriors, shrewd schemers from Greece and Britannia, and valiant archers and mystics from lands like Parthia, Aegyptus, and the island of Hibernia. Embody these heroes and forge unlikely bonds with former enemies to confront the Cult of Mormo, minions of Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth, and other nefarious cabals. Mi-Go skitter voraciously through the tunnels of lost mines, while Deep Ones lurk beneath the waves seeking sacrifices.

Answer the call of secret organisations like the Fingers of Dawn and Temperari, who possess the knowledge and will to defy the malevolent gods. These groups offer the secrets of mystic arts and access to the legendary weapons of Atlantis.

Your enemies wield dark magics and profaned relics, their minds corrupted by the whispers of beings like Sarthothus, a shattered god whose divided mind lurks within the very weapons you require to defeat the cults inviting humanity’s doom.

Can you prevail against overwhelming odds, or will you succumb, like so many others, to Mythos forces that thrive on conflict and war? This is your story!
