Cthulhu Dark

Cthulhu Dark is my rules-light Lovecraftian game. (Or try the easily-printable version).

The rules are fun and incredibly minimal: they fit on one sheet of paper. You don’t need a character sheet to play, so you can start playing after two minutes of prep. Despite the simplicity, there are some interesting rules twists: look at the Suppressing Knowledge rule for an example.

For your first game, use the main rules alone. Run a prewritten scenario with a Keeper. Then, if you like, check Dark Experiments to see additional rules I’m working on.

Finally, if you write Cthulhu scenarios and you’d like to turn them into standalone products, by including Cthulhu Dark free of charge, I’d like to support you.

There are also translations of Cthluhu Dark into various languages. If you’d  like to translate it into another langauge, I’d like to help. Follow the links for more details.
