A few years ago, I bought a box of Pokethulhu miniatures — little figures that look like Pokemons crossed with Cthulhuian Horrors. I had no idea that there also was a role playing game to go with it. And it’s free! Pokethulhu RPG.
Role Playing Games
Apathy: The Calling RPG
Apathy: The Calling is a free roleplaying game of Cthulhuian horror. The author writes:
Welcome to Apathy:The Calling a Role Playing Game. In this game you play regular folk dealing with the mythos in the only way they can in the modern age, with apathy. As one of the select few for unknown reasons you can hear Dread Cthulhu as he dreams, calling you to commit unspeakable acts. Fortunately you�ve long been accustomed to ignoring inconvenient realities. You fight back with the inertia and apathy, that has defined you as a generation of slackers, miscreants, good for nothings, baby busters and losers.
Apathy, the Role Playing game is a game about the lost generation, everyday life and cthulhu.
Vignette RPG
Vignette is a simple and flexible RPG from Nathan Russell. He uses it for a wide variety of genres and settings. There are some concepts here to steal for the more RPG based miniatures games.
Space Rat RPG
Space Rat is an RPG written by Nathan Russell in just 24 hours. It’s inspired by the cheesy science fiction movies of the 70s. It looks like a lot of fun.
