FAL News: More Cthulhutech Art

Well, Cthulhutech is still not out, and the wait is killing me! And a lot of other people, judging from the internet chatter. To appease the masses Mike Vaillancourt of Wildfire posted a piece of art on RPGnet, and he graciously allowed Fanboy At Large to repost it here. It shows Migo dropships over earth, an image that is disturbing both for its implications for the game world (exciting) and for the liberties it takes with the Cthulhu Mythos (terrifying). I for one welcome our new Migo overlords, regardless of which ride they chose!


Click the image for a larger … um … image. More info can be found at the Cthulhutech website. Hopefully I’ll be getting my hands on some supressed transmissions to further whet our collective appetite.

WFRP: Gossip (8)

“There are no Skaven! I tell the truth! Maybe what you have glimpsed are Beastmen. They’re all beastmen. Mutated scum. Ratmen? No, no, no, it’s really, really just people who are mutating into rats. That’s what you’ve all been seeing. Or just large rats. Or people dressed up as rats, feeding the conspiracy of the existence of the Skaven, to keep people afraid, to keep them down. It’s an Imperial conspiracy, that’s what it is. You know how they keep telling us the Skaven don’t exist? That’s because they DON’T exist! But why would they have to tell us that, again and again?

Because fear will keep us in line. Fear of this conspiracy will keep the local villages in line! And since it’s the aristocray, and the Emperor telling us this, people believe the opposite … and the government knows this, that is why they are telling us they don’t exist! So that we will believe they exist! The Skaven, the rat men, the scourge of the underworld.

And you know what else? There’s a cult, where the Emperor is the master illuminated, and they make sure there are little pieces of evidence all over the place to make us believe that the Skaven exists! So there you have it, it’s a conspiracy! To keep the working classes down!”

– Agitator in the Drecksack slums. Curiously, I haven’t seen him since he delivered this tirade.

WFRP: Best of the Fans (4)

Poster Jackdays on the Black Industries forum have been very helpful with comments on the iAltdorf project. I’m working on incorporating some of his corrections as well as building a sewer layer.

But Jackdays is not only a helpful chap when it comes to Altdorf, he is also a mapper of skill and – hopefully soon – repute. He has taken it upon himself to expand on Norsca, and has graciously provided us fans with a smashing web site; Kalevala Hammer!

Check out the section on Norsca, especially the huge and detailed map, and remember that a project like Kalevala Hammer is ultimately successful thanks to hard work, a dedicated creator and helpful input from fans. Jackdays can be found on the Black Industries forums, soliciting comments!

His work is surely among the Best of the Fans!
