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 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 adventure supplement takes the Wendigo myth – filled with supernatural horror, the wilderness, unfettered hunger and the darkness […]
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 […]
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 […]
Bundles of Foreboding
In time for Christmas, but also to make it easier to pick up a bunch of The Cthulhu Hack books without searching, I have created three Bundle offers on RPGNow/DriveThruRPG – with a swanky new bundle graphic. The Cthulhu Hack Core provides you with the essentials – as someone else put it, the Player’s Handbook, […]
Release The Dark Brood
The Dark Brood offers a selection of content that brings the fecundity of Shub-Niggurath front and centre to your game of The Cthulhu Hack; loosing her mindless progeny upon the unsuspecting world. Oddly enough, I started writing this as a basic bestiary entry – perhaps even just a single creature post on this site; in many […]

After a successful release through One Book Shelf at RPGNow and DriveThruRPG, I’m happy to say that you can also get physical print copies of Three Faces of the Wendigo through the All Rolled Up web store. It’s easy. Hit Add, then Cart – and you’re ready to buy (unless you care to add anything else into the […]
