About the quickstart:
Mighty Warriors of Rome and their Barbarian Foes Join forces to Battle Nameless Horrors from Beyond Space and Time!
Cohors Cthulhu is set in the same universe as the Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 tabletop roleplaying game, this time introducing adventurers to an era of daring gladiators, valiant centurions, and brave Germanic heroes.
You are fighting a hidden war, on the fringes of the Roman Empire. Far up on the Northern border, Romans and Germanic tribes clash in the dark and forbidden forests that cover these lands. Soon, however, you’ll have to band together to stem the invading forces of an insidious cult and its swarm of abhorrent creatures from the deep cosmos.
Cohors Cthulhu puts you on the front lines of the known world in the 2nd century, using fire, steel, and ancient technology to fight Eldritch horrors! You’ll arrive in the troubled Roman frontier town of Laurium, the archetypal walled fort that sits on the border between civilization and the mysterious, foreboding lands. Smoky taverns filled with dangerous vagabonds swirl with gossip and whispers of terrifying creatures, strange ruins, and haunted forests. Barbaric Germanic tribesmen prowl the thick woodland, but are they the only thing the Romans should be worried about?”
This Quickstart Guide has everything you need to plunge into this world and experience its struggles firsthand, featuring an abridged summary of its 2d20 System rules and six pre-generated PC characters ready to experience the included adventure.
Far from the Eternal City, deep in the forests of a hostile frontier, unravel the mystery of a village overcome by nightmares its people are forced to reenact on the waking world. Without the support of a Roman column, cast into a strange land, will you survive with your sanity intact? Only those with strength, cunning, and ambition dare enter the woods to confront this… Rude Awakening.
