Well, not exactly, but still. I'm of the opinion that only great good can come of fusing giant biomechanical robots, human were-horrors, alien fungoid insects, and HP Lovecraft's Great Old Ones themselves. And that is precisely what CthulhuTech does. It's certainly a more upbeat form of the mythos, seeing how it is actually possible for humanity to fight back...and who hasn't ever felt the pressing desire to uppercut a great and ancient evil being from beyond the veil of reality? Because I know I have.It seems to use some toned-down variant of the Storytelling system from World of Darkness and Exalted. Everything is rolled using groups of d10's, though the success mechanic is slightly different. The major players seem to be the military, backed up by pilots of the aforementioned biomechanical Engel mecha, an underground organization whose soldiers, Tagers, have fused with otherworldly horrors and can shape-shift into them at will, and then the Bad Guys, who are a motley collection of aliens and sanity-shattering terrors that have their own complex relationships among themselves.
I think this sounds awesome. Who's with me?
