Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20

English
Horror
Achtung! Cthulhu is a pulpy World War II horror tabletop roleplaying game in which Allied and resistance agents fight a secret war against Nazi occultists and the Cthulhu Mythos. It was created by Chris Birch and published by Modiphius Entertainment, which launched the setting in 2012 as an adventure series for Call of Cthulhu, with versions for other systems announced. The 2d20 edition, with rules designed by Nathan Dowdell, launched on March 9, 2021, as a standalone game with a Player's Guide and a Gamemaster's Guide. The 2d20 edition replaced the earlier versions of Achtung! Cthulhu, which were written for other systems, and uses the same 2d20 system as Dune: Adventures in the Imperium. Description Players take on soldiers, spies and resistance fighters in a war where the real enemy is behind the enemy. Campaigns run from 1939 to a confrontation in Antarctica in 1946, with scenarios in places such as occupied Czechoslovakia and Dunkirk. The Gamemaster (GM) runs the war, the Black Sun cultists and the creatures they command, including undead, Deep Ones and a Shoggoth. The tone leans towards action rather than dread. The supernatural is a threat to be overcome, at least for a while, which sets it apart from the more fatalistic horror of Call of Cthulhu. The game asks for a table that wants a combat-heavy war story with a thin layer of cosmic horror.

City of Mist

English
Rules-medium
City of Mist is a noir urban fantasy tabletop roleplaying game about ordinary people who carry the soul of a legend inside them, created by Amit Moshe and published by Son of Oak Game Studio. It was funded on Kickstarter in 2016, where it raised $104,313 from 1,762 backers, and released in 2017. Modiphius Entertainment co-published it from 2018. The game was split into a Player's Guide and a Master of Ceremonies (MC) Toolkit in 2019, and a Starter Box followed in November 2020. It won a Silver ENnie in 2017, a Gold ENnie for interior art in 2018 and a Gold ENnie for Best Aid/Accessory in 2021, and in 2024 it won French awards, the Graal d'Or and the Grog d'Or. The system loosely evolved from Powered by the Apocalypse, and its spiritual successor is Legend in the Mist. Description Players take on Rifts, people whose everyday selves are joined to a mythical identity, such as a figure from legend, folklore or fairy tale, in a rain-soaked city where a hidden world of myth presses against the mundane one. The MC, the game's name for its Game Master, runs mysteries and conflicts in a noir setting, and the characters balance the lives they are trying to keep with the powers they have inherited. The game asks a table for investment in character drama. Each character has two identities that pull in different directions, and the story often turns on which one takes the lead. It suits groups who like detective stories, moral compromise and personal stakes, more than groups who want to optimise a build.
