The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.159: Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla




When it comes to roleplaying games, my tastes tend to gravitate towards two flavours: old school, and Savage Worlds. Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla is a setting for the latter, based on a comic of the same name, which brings a pulpy steampunk feel (genres which Savage Worlds serves well) to the world of the Cthulhu mythos. This this the Kickstarter edition of the game, which came with Lovecraft & Tesla-themed poker chips and playing cards (both of which have a mechanical function in the Savage Worlds rules set).

Not sure that I will play this rather than plunder it for ideas to use in other Cthulhu-themed Savage Worlds games, but the peripherals are rather nice as pieces of Lovecraftian ephemera.
