If you ever wanted a non-grimdark Mythos game, it's here!

[El Jefe]

So, let me be clear. I love a lot of things about the the Lovecraftian Mythos, probably in equal measure to all the shitastic things I hate about ol' H.P. himself. So to find a game that decided to go for revised feel of the Mythos, to cut back on the grimdark a bit, and give the potential for truly having the potential to effect the End? Yeah, that's a nice twist on the old Mythos stuff.

To go along with that, there were a number of revisions on the part of Evil Hat that work in the game's favor.

1. Lovecraft's bullshit is acknowledged and specifically called out. Very few Mythos projects bother to do this.
2. Using the Terminator time travel setup is a blast of a storytelling device. You're not fighting the Elder Gods, you're fighting the future.
3. Ditching the insanity stuff is lovely for avoiding the shittier parts of badly portraying mental illness.
4. The corruption mechanic used in place of sanity allows for some interesting questions for characters. How far will you go in the past (our present) to better, if not save, the future? Will you be willing to risk becoming a monster in your own right?

While I'd love to have the funds to back it, I'm not really trying to sell anybody on it. I just figured I'd share it around out of interest, for a new take on an old classic RPG influence. I'd love to see this not be in Fate, but that's just personal taste. Because Fate and I just don't really get along without clashing too much.

I backed this one. I love Fate, and in general Evil Hat does good stuff.
