This Wa
Achtung! Cthulhu
brings you a two-fisted wartime roleplaying game setting
packed full of fiendish Nazis, terrifying ancient mysteries, legendary
war machines, and enough writhing tentacles to fill ten
Reichstags!
Kontamination
is a standalone adventure for both hardened
Achtung! Cthulhu
veterans and newcomers alike, set in late 1944
as the Allies press their advantage and make for the German border.
Join a band of unusual heroes behind enemy lines as they attempt
to get to the bottom of a nefarious plot to unleash a wave of
madness and mayhem on the unsuspecting forces caught up in the
Ardennes Offensive.
Inside you will find everything that you need for hours
of gripping roleplaying adventure including:
• A standalone multi-part adventure
for hours of spine-chilling play
• Maps of key locations, including an overview
of the frontline during the Battle of the Bulge
• pre-generated investigator characters
to get you straight into the action
• Rules for new tomes and equipment
Requires the
Achtung! Cthulhu Investigator’s
and
Keeper’s Guides,
and either the
Call of Cthulhu, Sixth Edition
rulebook or the
Savage Worlds Deluxe rules to play.
