[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 9713204, member: 2525"] Cthulhu by Torchlight was just announced on [USER=55582]Treantmonklvl20[/USER]'s Patreon channel, because he helped work on it (mostly on subclasses, some on monsters) with Mike Mearls, who is the lead designer on this book. This book, which is now newly available on DnDBeyond, combines Call of Cthulhu and 5th edition D&D. Videos drop tomorrow (I think) on YouTube.
