The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.311: The Cthulhu Mythos 5E


On a the back of a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign to produce The Cthulhu Mythos sourcebook for the Pathfinder rpg, Sandy Petersen has now brought into being a version of the book for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - indeed, today I discovered in my inbox a massive, full-colour 400+ page pdf of the volume.

The sourcebook thus covers a huge amount of ground, including new player options, as well as a large bestiary of Lovecraftian monsters to port into your D&D sessions; that said, it treats Lovecraft’s  Dreamlands as the default fantasy setting for Lovecraftian D&D, which may not be to everyones taste.

Whilst currently only Kickstarter backers have access to the downloadable version of The Cthulhu Mythos, both the pdf and hardcopies of the supplement should be more widely available to purchase next year.
