High School Cthulhu Quickstart
 |
You're a student¸ it's the 90s¸ you live in Innsmouth¸ and something dark and terrifying is about to take your life by storm. As if adolescence wasn't bad enough¸ now you'll have to deal with the supernatural of cosmic horror on a stage lit by the bright¸ fluorescent colors of the Nineties. What a mix!
High School Cthulhu draws its inspiration from the teen drama series of the 90s-from Beverly Hills 90210 and Dawson's Creek to the action & horror classics of the genre like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Roswell.
High School Cthulhu is powered by a highly cinematic game engine called Director's Cut. The system uses small pools of six-sided dice to determine the outcome of anything that involves a risk or a danger. When rolling dice¸ you're not looking to roll high or low¸ but to group as many matching symbols together. This engine is by Two Little Mice¸ fresh winners of two Ennie Awards¸ and used in the big hits Outgunned¸ Outgunned Adventure and Household.
