The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.233: The Call of Catthulhu


Not to be confused with Cathulhu, The Call of Catthulhu nonetheless invites you to participate in the imaginary dream worlds of Lovecraftian felines. Unlike Cathulhu, The Call of Catthulhu is not a supplement to the Call of Cthulhu rpg (still following at the back?), but uses ts own unique, indie-style rpg system. Whimsy is probably more front-and-centre here than in Cathulhu, with the cat player characters receiving rewards by way of Treats and being Petted by a sympathetic human; the downside is that this first volume is primarily concerned with the mechanics of the game, such that the Lovecaftian elements of the setting are dealt with in an extremely cursory manner - for more of that, however, return to the site tomorrow...
