Get ready to head back to 1944 in Modiphius Entertainment’s Forest of Fear campaign book for their eldritch horror-themed tabletop RPG Achtung! Chtulhu. Part of the ongoing Winter of Fear event, this new adventure will launch players into an epic late-era Secret War adventure that takes them inside the covert offensive during the Battle of the Bulge! Forest of Fear is available for pre-order [US / UK] today, and set for a December release from the UK store (early 2023 for US). Terrifying cinematic battles against Nazi occultists and an ancient evil lurking beneath the forest’s boughs awaits.
What you can expect from the Forests of Fear:
It is December 1944 and the Allied advances after D-Day come grinding to a halt on the borders of Germany. As the first snow falls, both sides eye each other warily across the lines, content to rest and recuperate as winter sets in. But Hitler has one last great gambit planned: a massive, armored offensive, which will split British and US forces and hurl the allies back so that he can recapture the deep water port of Antwerp.
Concealed within the main assault, a Nazi scientist known as “The Blackbird” plans to unleash his legion of monstrous panzers and terrifying new shock troops to cut a swathe through the allied lines. But other forces are also astir beneath the boughs of this ancient woodland, as a sinister and evil cult seeks to revive an ancient Godling and unleash madness and death.
As these powerful forces contend, Section M dispatches a crack team of experienced agents to investigate. Can they thwart the Nazi occult’s plans and foil the awakening of the Slumbering Horror, or will they, like so many others, succumb to the Forest of Fear?
- Features 11 missions including a cursed monastery, an ancient and foreboding undercity, and the final confrontation at the Blackbird’s nest.
- A free PDF of the 50-page standalone adventure or prologue mission, Assault on the Fuhrer Train which sees resistance agents raid Hitler’s personal armored express!
- An array of awesome art, maps, playing aids, GM tips, and handouts to bring the Forest of Fear to life!
Curious about Achtung! Cthulhu? The Quickstart rules are available for free from Modiphius’ Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 website.
In Achtung! Cthulhu’s pulp-influenced world of brave Allied heroes, secret agents, mysterious mystics, and dauntless two-fisted adventure, players take on the roles of Allied servicemen and women, secret agents, members of the French Resistance — or even hapless civilians caught up in the wider conflict. All stand firm against the twisted might of the Nazis and their occult forces, including the Cult of the Black Sun, who wield foul magic and summon ancient horrors in their bid to unleash Yog-Sothoth and Nachtwölfe, the Night Wolves, who place their trust in weird science and wonder weapons to prevail.
