[QUOTE="modiphius, post: 8668740, member: 6696016"] Lex Arcana is a beautiful book - that and Cthulhu Invictus, and a large number of Roman era wargames is a good foundation for what we're doing. It also helps there's an enormous amount of good historical miniatures for Roman times by the likes of Warlord and Victrix so we don't need to start sculpting Roman Archer no. 37 :-). I'd say the big difference is Cohors Cthulhu is set during the actual time of the Roman empire, with a hidden war being fought around the corner from the history books - much like Achtung! Cthulhu, we don't change history, but these are the events that took place that explain some of the history or were never reported. More so Cohors is set in the [B]Against The Gods Themselves[/B] universe. It's an epic conflict spanning millions of years from the first cataclysmic war between the elder gods and Hyperboreans and the outer gods through the timeline of human civilisations and far into the future, all linked by consistent plot lines, key enemies, technologies, secrets, specific individuals and more. So far we're exploring two points in the timeline but ultimately plan to let you drop in and out of the whole storyline, there's a third setting post WW2 after the mythos conquer earth in the works, and more beyond. So if you want a big connected story with easter eggs, stories and plot lines spanning several game settings this hopefully should intrigue you. [/QUOTE]
