Hardcover
 
CthulhuTech: The Shadow War is a science fantasy role playing game set in a high-tech near-future Earth, with magic and monsters blended in. The world teeters on the edge of apocalypse, as aliens and powerful dark entities alike seek to bring about their own new age and the end to ours. The original award-winning CthulhuTech core book sold more than 10K copies, supported years of supplemental material, and was translated into three languages. This unique game is easy for players to learn with lots of options for characters and customization. The system is straightforward and flexible, with three ways to approach the mechanics, from traditional dice rolling to narrative resource management. When your customers are looking for something different, CthulhuTech: The Shadow War is a strong contender. Point them to the right place and the art and characters will sell themselves. It takes a special kind of person to join in symbiosis with an alien Other from beyond time and space, and players are those people. They fight in the dark underworld of a besieged society against a cult with the power of a giant corporation. With the CthuhuTech: The Shadow War Player’s Handbook, players can choose from ten different human or near-human heritages, many hiding just outside society’s gaze. They pair that with one of ten eldritch symbionts, which grant them flavorful otherworldly powers and the ability to change into a terrifying monster to fight other equally terrifying monsters. Ignoring customization, that’s 100 potential character pairings, ensuring that players can easily occupy their own unique niches at the table.
