The Cthulhu Hack had a 2nd birthday last month and the line continues to grow. At the core, we have the three core books, along with two books of adventures, and other books filled with campaign materials, like The Dark Brood and Convicts & Cthulhu. Good moment for an update.

Wendigo wins Popular Choice Award
I’m over-joyed to report that Three Faces of the Wendigo won Popular Choice Award for Best Role-playing Adventure at UK Games Expo this past weekend. I have had a tiring but exciting time, meeting hundreds of gamers from amongst tens of thousands of attendees to the event in Birmingham, UK. The biggest gaming event in the […]
UK Games Expo 2018
For those attending the big event (in less than a fortnight’s time), I will have all The Cthulhu Hack books with plenty of ‘new’ and new stuff. There’ll be: Three Faces of the Wendigo, which isn’t new but up for the Best Role-Playing Adventure Award, that features three different adventures by three different authors concerning hunger, […]
The Dark Brood Updated and On Sale
I’m pleased to tell you that The Dark Brood has been expanded, upgraded and uploading – now 20-pages with a tweak to the cover image. The Dark Brood offers a selection of content bringing the fecundity of Shub-Niggurath front and centre to your game and loosing her mindless progeny upon the world. The supplement has been […]

The Cthulhu Hack: Three Faces of the Wendigo has been nominated in the Best Role-Playing Adventure category at this years UK Games Expo Awards to be awarded at the event that runs from 1st – 3rd June 2018.

The Dark Brood Cover
The lurking progeny of the Great Mother, the Eternal Womb, the Black Goat… they lurk in wait. I have work to do to complete the text of The Dark Brood and I have my fingers crossed that I can complete the task in the scant time that remains. However, for the moment, there’s a cover […]
The Cthulhu Hack Redux
I have launched the new version of The Cthulhu Hack core rules through RPGNow and DriveThruRPG. This is not a major revision in terms of content, but has undergone a completely fresh layout and a typeface refresh. The book has undergone a brisk tweaking around the edge and I have done my damnedest to bring the […]
Stock Refresh
I have run out of copies of The Cthulhu Hack core book, which means it’s time to get in touch with the printer to order more. However, I’m aware that the current version of the core that I have doesn’t contain the expanded and tweaked version of the Hit Dice as Resource rules. And I […]
TCH: Convicts & Cthulhu Redux
I have had some request recently for copies of the physical The Cthulhu Hack: Convicts & Cthulhu book. At this point in time, no more copies exist. They had a limited run and now, aside from a personal copy, they’re all gone. As to the PDF version, this will remain available through DriveThru and RPGNow as […]
Save Innsmouth Actual Play
The Whartson Hall Recording group playing Save Innsmouth: Chapter 0 with v1.0 rules and a strong notion of the connection to The Black Hack / Old School style of play (which I feel has lessened a little with the release of The Cthulhu Hack v1.5). Interesting listening to anyone playing the game. I can run as […]
New Year, New Game in 2018
The annual affair that is the New Year, New Game sale event dawns at the Just Crunch Games store on DriveThruRPG and with that in mind, all the Bundles for The Cthulhu Hack have levelled out to provide an even better deal. As it happens, the event scoops up a bunch of material regardless and applies a […]
Save Innsmouth in 2018
Behind some dread portal 2018 lurks, as 2017 stumbles to a close, blooded and strung out. In the distance, unnatural howls ring out, a guttural noise somewhere between an animal and a cry of pain. Something cuts short the sound… the rumble of machinery, the growl of an engine. The ground shudders as something draws […]
Supply Dice
Supply Dice exist for the tension of the moment. The Cthulhu Hack is not about shopping lists and equipment runs. You can, by all means, go shopping, but the finer detail probably doesn’t matter. If you need a change of clothes or a hire car, go for it. The player can track small change if […]
Pax Cthuliana
I’m midway through running the system-free investigation Pax Cthuliana from NEVR publishing (who also publish the Insight RPG). I went through the read through and prep a fortnight ago and ran the first half last Tuesday – which proved sufficient to get a review up and posted on Geek Native. I mention in the review […]
Three Faces of the Wendigo – Reviews from R’lyeh
I got the first review in yesterday for Three Faces of the Wendigo from Matthew Pook over on Reviews from R’lyeh. It can be a tough old deal handling reviews and criticism, but the feedback runs along the lines of generally positive with a last sentence conclusion of: Overall, Three Faces of the Wendigo is a decent trilogy […]
