[QUOTE="modiphius, post: 8482317, member: 6696016"] The Three Kings campaign is copyright to the author so we can't just give it to another writer. We hope at some point they will be able to continue with the series though. The new 2d20 books are a complete re-write - we moved away from having a lot of historical background because it's freely available online for those who want to look it up, instead you've got a much deeper dive in to the weird and nightmarish Secret War being fought - more magic, ancient enemies, gods, artefacts, lost technology and secret bases. We added in a huge amount of new content on the universe, re-wrote the remaining material and the books feature all new art bringing the world to life. There's quite a few new books and campaigns in the works - I describe the Achtung! Cthulhu universe as the mythos with a faint glimmer of hope. In WW2, the resistance in europe saw the Nazis as unstoppable as we imagine Cthulhu in the classic stories. We're just mere sand under the feet of the Outer Gods. The idea is how we'll die and it's all pretty futile. But the resistance fought on in ww2 despite the seeming futility of it all - visiting the Minsk war museum I saw countless stories of incredible heroism by ordinary people who must have known it was doomed to failure but they fought on and sometimes succeeded knowing anything was better than succumbing to the nazis. We've brought that fighting spirit to Achtung! Cthulhu - it's not cheesy pulp because you're up against ancient gods who have conquered millions of civilisations across the universe, down through the ages, they torn trillions upon trillions of souls from their bodies in the most horrific manner and these embodiments of true evil need to die... by your hands or those who will come after. Achtung! Cthulhu isn't just 'Cthulhu in ww2' it's the tip of an iceberg of a massive conflict - the universe is called 'Against the Gods Themselves' and it's being played out through the ages, we're currently working on a major prequel to be launched in 2022 going back in history, there's a sequel set about a 100 years later, and much more in the works. 'Against the Gods Themselves' is partly a vengeance story fought out in the front lines of a war longer than most can know, and our heroes will be face nearly impossible odds, against terrifying enemies. Sure you can go in two fisted but this a war not everyone will see through, but we hope to inspire players to see the odds and futility real people faced in the real war and learn how 'anything' is possible if you fight hard enough :-) [/QUOTE]
