The Last War
2085. Humanity faces extinction. Alien insects from the edge of our solar system, long hidden behind the faηade of reality, descend to enslave us. Hordes of unspeakable horrors roll out from Central Asia, laying waste to anything in their path. The church of the fish-god scours the world for lost occult secrets to unleash terrible forces. Dead gods awaken and turn their dreadful eyes toward the Earth. And within hides a cancer, eating away at the very heart of the New Earth Government.
This is the Aeon War. This is the time of CthulhuTech.
Climb inside a thirty-foot tall war machine and rain down hell on the unwavering Migou. Fight tooth and nail on the front lines against the horrific beasts of the Rapine Storm. Seek out the disgusting corruption of the insidious Esoteric Order of Dagon. Explore the dark world of the malignant Chrysalis Corporation and their unseen monstrous agents. Sift through secrets long thought lost and bend the power of the cosmos to your will. Join in symbiosis with something beyond time and space and become a shape-shifting bringer of wrath.
Nowhere else will you find a setting like this.
Inside this book you will find:
a complete history and detailed exploration of the world of the Aeon War, so that you can start a game right away.
nine pieces of provocative short fiction to help portray the feel of the setting.
the innovative Framewerk system. Not only cinematic, Framewerk puts control back where it belongs in your hands.
the option to play a hardy and resourceful 21rst century Human or join the fight as a night-skinned genetically-engineered Nazzadi.
the option to play as one of seven professions, including Arcanotechnicians, who meld technology and magic into a unique discipline, Engel Pilots, who join in communion with gigantic arcane cyborgs, Occult Scholars, who delve into the mysteries of the universe and harness its power for themselves, or the mysterious alien shape-shifting Tagers.
a unique ritual-based magic system, simulating dark and painstaking universe channeling power, including two dozen mind-wrenching spells.
more than 30 unique machines of death, including the bug-like Migou mecha, the rough and tumble mecha of the New Earth Government, and the monstrous bio-organic Engels.
more than 20 unspeakable horrors, including the terrible hordes of the Rapine Storm and the monstrous servants of the Chrysalis Corporation.
a secret history of the world for Storyguides, including an exploration of dead gods, lost races, and forgotten places.
story starters and hooks, to get you into a game now.
CthulhuTech is a complete, self-contained storytelling game. All you need besides this book are five to ten 10-sided dice.

| 10 / 10 | omega1no | This is just up there, a setting that is so versatile in what you can do with it. The rules may not be the super best always, but the setting is great, even for someone like me that is not so fond of Anime (hey newsflash - its inspired by anime, not a anime game at all, if you dont play it like that), but the end of the world is near, wars and mythos is so well blended. To long till april for the next book..... |
| 8 / 10 | Menchi | A solid effort. A couple of issues with tone, but overall a great game. |
