APOCTHULHU System Reference Document

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.00

This is the APOCTHULHU System Reference document. It contains all the open content from the APOCTHULHU RPG. We informally call this game engine the "Cthulhu Eternal" System (and other, non-Apocalypse versions of the same rules are published under that name). Whether you are a publisher or a gamer, you can use this under the terms of the Open Gaming License.

This is NOT the APOCTHULHU RPG Core Rulebook, which is a 330-page color book featuring extensive illustrations and game examples throughout.Neither is it the APOCTHULHU Quickstart, which is a briefer (but equally beautifully decorated) book which is a Pay-What-You-Want download.

This System Reference Document is, however, a perfectly playable (if unillustrated) version of the rules. If you're a player, we hope that you might be tempted to check out the full or Quickstart version of the game. If you're a game developer looking for a thoroughly open set of game mechanics based on a lineage of time-worn d100 games, we hope you'll consider reusing these rules for your own purposes.

Is there a license that allows 3rd-Party-Publishers (like me) to release material that is "Apocthulhu compatible" material?

Kai -- the license is the last page. It's an OGL license which means as long as you follow the terms laid out you can use the text to produce your own material.

What Chad said is correct -- for more info on what you can do with the SRD (basically anything, as long as you adhere to the simple instructions in the OGL license), see this posting on our blog: https://cthulhureborn.wordpress.com/2021/12/24/some-f-a-qs-about-the-s-r-d/

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.
