Fate of Cthulhu

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The stars are right for Great Cthulhu’s return. It’s up to you to make them wrong again!

The Great Old Ones reach out from the future and into their past—our present—corrupting the timeline such that events and individuals turn towards the apocalyptic and lead to their inevitable rise. A small and battered resistance effort mounted by time-travelers and present-day heroes stands in their way.

You are those one-way travelers from a dark future and their crucial allies from the present day, working together to save the human race from looming apocalypse. Armed with foreknowledge of Judgment Day, you must succeed at a series of vital missions aimed at restoring hope to the future.

Can you defeat the vast unknowable evils of the Great Old Ones before you become a monster yourself? Find out in Fate of Cthulhu!

Fate of Cthulhu is a stand-alone game powered by the Fate Core System. No other books are needed to play. In this game, you’ll find:

  • Corruption mechanics that show how close your heroes are coming to the monsters they fight, and the monstrous abilities they gain!
  • Five detailed example timelines plus rules for running them and making your own.
  • A system for tracking key events leading up to the apocalypse that the players change through their actions and choices during play, including support for ripple effects and time paradoxes.
  • Modifications to stress and concession rules, including support for heroic last stands that sacrifice a character but help turn the timeline towards a better outcome.
  • A rituals and spells system that offers great power at a cost, treating spells as secrets of arcane Elder technology that must be sought out in play.

The apocalypse is coming. It’s time to punch it in the face or die trying in Fate of Cthulhu!

Are there plans for future books for both Dresden Files Accelerated as well as Fate of Cthulhu?

Not at this time (tho we've got stretch goals for Fate of Cthulhu that were funded but are still in development; those will get released digitally at the least, over time.)

Does this use the Fate Core? Fate Accelerated? Or Fate Condensed rules?

Fate Condensed was based on this.

They all use Fate Core; they all are Fate Core.

I am a Chinese player. I bought the electronic version of FOC and participated in its crowdfunding in China.I like FOC very much, but I feel that Rituals, Spells and Corruptionc are too few.I hope you can create some data sets about these scarce information, which will help me a lot. I am very optimistic about FOC, and I hope it will have more rich content and be loved by more people.
Finally, I am very grateful to you for bringing such an excellent work, which I will use to spend a very pleasant time with my friends.

So, I bought this on Roll20, and I am looking through it. Does this PDF contain more information about locations and details in each of the apocalypses? Are there more details about the rule system?

Way more. The Roll20 modules are Roll20-native support for folks who have the book.

Will the Darkest Timelines from the Kickstarter be added to the book as they're finished or will they otherwise be available to those who didn't have a chance to fund the Kickstarter?

None of them are done yet, but when they are we'll sell them separately.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
