From publisher blurb:
“Many men have related hideous things, not mentioned in print, which happened on the battlefields of the Great War.”
This version of Cthulhu Eternal is specially designed to support Lovecraftian games set during the First World War (1914-1918), in any corner of the globe. It can be used for fuel stories of civilian Protagonists thrust into Mythos-related horror and peril as a consequence of the war, or scenarios where players take on the roles of trained military forces who encounter (deliberately or otherwise) ancient terrors amid the fighting. Both groups are equally vulnerable and unprepared when the "Terrors from Beyond" break their chains and are freed upon the world ...
The Cthulhu Eternal World War I SRD aims to support a broad spectrum of different types of Lovecraftian game set during the war years. Whether you want a gritty and historical tone or something more pulpy and high-action, these rules give you the building blocks to tailor a memorable and evocative wartime tale of dread. Whether it's battling for survival in "No Man's Land", fighting through a gas attack to raid the stronghold of an unscrupulous cult, or flying biplanes in aerial combat with Night-gaunts above the fields of France, these rules have everything you need.
Note: We acknowledge that the real-world events of WWI incorporated their own horrors of human origin. We strongly believe that such things should never be trivialised by attributing them to a supernatural source. Humans are more than capable of committing evil acts without the help of the Mythos; any game depiction of the war should address these subjects respectfully.
