‘Cohors Cthulhu’: Lovecraftian Horror Clashes With the Roman Empire, Available Now
Modiphius has released the quickstart rules for their upcoming Cohors Cthulhu. As the name implies, it’s ancient Rome and Cthulhu mashed up.
Why is it always Latin that ancient arcane spells are in? Unless you’re watching 1999’s The Mummy and experiencing your very own bisexual awakening, odds are good that the magic language people are speaking is just Latin. Whether it’s bastardized into an English boarding school or a Wizard detective’s spellbook, it’s everywhere. Now it’s actually appropriate though, with the coming Cohors Cthulhu.
Set in the height of the Roman Empire and full of the kind of cosmic horror you know and dread, this is a new 2d20 system that blends together two different kinds of ancient worlds. Modiphius released a set of Quickstart rules that you can take for a spin today!
