New games are afoot , though I think there may be a final 5e session before the Achtung Cthulu kicks in. GM Rob will be doing the prep and character generation for the Indy game Dogs in the Vineyard.
If you fancy an
opportunity to tell people you are right at the point of a shotgun then Dogs in
the Vinyard is for you. If you have ever been one of those knockers of the
faith and put up with the usual 99.9 of door slamming, this is a great
opportunity to let off steam and realise a world where you are subsequently
allowed to kick in aforementioned door.
From Wikipedia: The
game is set in "a West that never quite was"—loosely based on the
Mormon State of Deseret in prestatehood Utah, Players are "God's Watchdogs"
(Dogs), who travel from town to town delivering mail, helping out the community
and enforcing the judgements of the True Faith of the King of Life. This may
involve anything from delivering new interpretations to the town's Steward to
executing heretics. Dogs have absolute authority within the Faith, but not
within the laws of the Territorial Authority, and so their actions can lead to
conflict with the government in the East.
"Sometimes it’s better for one to die than for many to
suffer."
"Sometimes, Dog, sometimes you have to cut off the arm to save the
life."
On another plane of existence GM Johnathan will be summoning
a game of Achtung! Cthulu beginning February. A fusion of Call of Cthulu and Savage Worlds where
the heroes find themselves in the secret B movie occult subculture of World War
II. Think Raiders of the lost ark on a much lower budget. From the publisher:
Achtung! Cthulhu brings you a twofisted wartime roleplaying game setting
packed full of fiendish Nazi scientists, terrifying ancient mysteries,
legendary German war machines, desperate partisans, guntoting paratroopers,
determined investigators, and enough writhing tentacles to pack ten Reichstags.
Discover the secret history of World War Two stories of the amazing heroism
which struggled to overthrow a nightmare alliance of science and the occult, of
frightening inhuman conspiracies from the depths of time, and the unbelievable
war machines which were the product of Nazi scientific genius and how close
we all came to a slithering end!
Zombie Nazis,
insanity, no hope of rescue and humanity's inevitable and terrifying end.. count me and my trusty,
soon to be eaten alive npc sidekick, in!
See you
there in one guise or another.
