Escape from Innsmouth

I have a copy of the second edition of Escape from Innsmouth which I bought on eBay (used but in great condition for only £10.50).

Kickstarter

I'm backing Achtung! Cthulhu on Kickstarter. The game should be an excellent upgrade or replacement for Weird War II which has sadly received little support from Pinnacle. --Urban 20:19, 16 March 2013 (CET)

Realms of Cthulhu

Errata

There is no official errata for Realms of Cthulhu. Here are some issues I've found:

  • The insanity table on page 26 has no result for a roll of 14. The consensus on the official forum is that the table should read Paranoia for a roll of 13-14 and 'Phobia for a roll of 15.
  • Some values are wrong in the weapon table. For example, the single-shot Martini-Henry rifle is listed as having a 15 (!) round magazine. This is easily solved by using the the weapon table in the core rules.

Apart from the these minor issues, Realms of Cthulhu is quite solid. --Urban 12:06, 13 April 2013 (CEST)

Defining Interests

A defining interest gives the investigator a base +1 to their Common Knowledge roll when the subject is called into question. Note that this becomes the modifier to the Smarts roll, so Common Knowledge rolls are typically made at Smart -2, or Smarts +1 for a defining interest. --Urban 23:51, 6 April 2013 (CEST)
