Heroes of Rura-Tonga (6)

Last week we were changing flats. So there was pure chaos for more than a week. To this day I cannot find some stuff. But the Rura-Tonga box is safe and sound. With not much time on my hand, I decided to create something little but fun and useful. Let me say some backstory for this particular piece of handouts.
During our very first Pulp Egypt game sole PC in the mids of battle with two alive statues, reminded himself that he knows two spells. One simple Voor Sign, but the other named Create the Barrier of Naach-Tith was a powerful defensive spell, that saved him and others around him, many times. This was one of the things that Mike learned while fighting with minions of Nyarlathotep. I've run Masks with Pulp Cthulhu mechanics so I decided that PC can and will probably learn some spells. So in that first tomb, we stop the action and started looking for these two spells in The Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic and in Call of Cthulhu Rulebook and in my old edition of Masks of Nyarlathotep. So this time I said nevermore! I took the spells from the book and printed them o one side and on the other, I created a quasi-old page that can contain the text of the spell. So it will be in possession of my wife's character. Every time she will use one of them, she just takes it and read it. Consequently, with other spells I will do the same. A simple method for not leaf through rulebooks during a game. How do You like it?

Frontpage with quasi original pictograms.

Second page with the real mechanics of things.

Alone Against The Dark

Today I've got something different. I think in the first time in the history Polish version of Call of Cthulhu book looks better than the original version. Of course in the near future, there will be a total revmap or maybe a coloring of a couple of books that were first in 7th Edition line, but for now...

Polish edition is hardcover so it makes a big difference from the start. When You open the book it is not closing quickly. Art on the cover is a matter of personal preferences, I like both! Then, when You look inside,  page layout and most of the handouts also are in full color. 

Everything is the same, maybe except for two things. In the original version, the character sheet is blurred and in Polish book is razor sharp.

The second difference is in the advertisement at the end of the book - of course, it is reasonable. In the end, both of this book gives so many hours of superb tentacled fun, that whichever version You choose, You will be satisfied or terrified, or both.

Horror's Heart

Last week was amazing! Truly amazing, without a doubt!
Of course, we use Pulp Cthulhu rules set, from obvious reasons. One player is not enough to stand before so many foes. And it was truly epic, but in a more personal and geographical scale than Masks of Nyarlathotep. We played this campaign in subsequent dates from 28 of October to 1 of November.5 scenarios, 5 fight nights. As for the campaign, it was the product of 90's and many changes had to be made to truly appreciate the climate and atmosphere of Montreal. But with cthulhureborn.wordpress.com handouts, sites with period maps (www.oldmapsonline.org)and so one, it is not impossible to do so. In the end, it was very good and creepy game. To its core... To its heart...
