The Lovecaftian Thing a Day (2018) No.240: Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten


A comanion piece to Strange Aeons by Uncle Mike’s Worldwide, Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten is described as ‘a miniature skirmish game of mindless violence and soul destroying evil’. Which is nice.

I kickstarted this last year, and the pdf rulebook has just arrived in my inbox. The game reminds me a little of of The Hills Rise Wild, in that both share something by the way of a comedic but Lovecraftian take on ‘Hillbilly Horror’ tropes; like that earlier game, Von Unassprechlichen Kulten pits gangs of cultists, ghouls, Deep Ones, and degenerate Yog Sothoth-worshipping hillfolk against one another for...reasons. This looks like great fun, though, and is fully compatible with Strange Aeons (which I hope to get to the table soon).
