Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

This is a PBF 4-player game of Cthulhu Wars with the ~~base game factions~~ all factions except Tcho-Tcho.

If you'd like to play, please post below to sign up. For this game I'll give preference to newer players, as I suspect having a mix of experienced and new players could lead to a bit of a lopsided game. If it goes well, I'll maybe try running a game for experienced players with the expansion factions.

Also, I'm based in New Zealand so will always be offline between about 3am and 12pm PST, so if you would mostly only be able to play during those hours for whatever reason, this is probably not the game for you.

Cthulhu Wars is a pretty straight-forward game rules-wise. You can find the rulebook here.

Because of the way the game plays out (everyone spending power and taking a single action on their turn) in many cases it won't be necessary for me to provide updates between player turns. For this reason, you guys (the players) can keep taking turns one after the other until something happens that requires moderator input (mostly drawing elder signs, or rolling dice) or you'd like to get a map update in order to get clearer on the board state. I'll try and provide updates as often as I can, and if you don't want to take an action until you have seen a board update, please post to let me know that you want a board update, otherwise I may be assuming that we're waiting on you rather than me.

To keep things running smoothly, please use the following format for your posts:

quote:

Do X action costing Y power
Resolves Z other ability as a free action (if applicable)

Remaining power totals:
Great Cthulhu: 6
Crawling Chaos: 5
Black Goat: 2
Yellow Sign: 0

Next up: Crawling Chaos

That way people will be able to see at a glance the remaining power totals, and know whose turn it is next.

Here's an example:

quote:

Move 1 Acolyte from West Africa to East Africa. Move 1 Acolyte from West Africa to North Atlantic, costing 2 power
Claim unclaimed gate in North Atlantic

Remaining power totals:
Great Cthulhu: 6
Crawling Chaos: 5
Black Goat: 2
Yellow Sign: 0

Next up Black Goat

Also, if you acquire a spellbook you can add this to your post. When you do so, please indicate which criteria are met, which spellbook you are taking, and copy/paste the spellbook's ability from the next post so that players can see what abilities you have gained from the spellbook.

For example:

quote:

Move 1 Acolyte from West Africa to East Africa. Move 1 Acolyte from West Africa to North Atlantic, costing 2 power
Claim unclaimed gate in North Atlantic

Remaining power totals:
Great Cthulhu: 6
Crawling Chaos: 5
Black Goat: 2
Yellow Sign: 0

Claim a spellbook for controlling 3 gates:

Abduct (Pre-Battle) Eliminate one or more Nightgaunts in the Battle Area. For each such Nightgaunt, your opponent must eliminate one of his own Monsters or Cultists (his choice) in the Area. After this, combat proceeds.

Next up Black Goat

Lastly, regarding Ghroth, The Thousand Forms, Devolve & similar Spellbooks/Abilities:
Players will have 24 hours to discuss and find a decision when Ghroth or The Thousand Forms is used.
Similar for Devolve: Cthulhu will have max. 24 hours to devolve his Cultists after a player's action.

Faction Ability

The Beyond One (Action: Cost 1): Select your unit with a Cost of 3+ in an Area with a Gate, but lacking an enemy Great Old One. Move your Unit to any Area on the map lacking a Gate. In doing so, your Unit takes the Gate with him, plus any controlling unit.

Yog-Sothoth: Cost 6, Combat "Equals twice the number of enemy-controlled Faction Great Old Ones in play."

How to Awaken Yog-Sothoth:

You must have a Spawn of Yog-Sothoth on the map.
Pay 6 Power. Replace the Spawn with Yog-Sothoth.
The Key and the Gate (Ongoing): Yog-Sothoth counts as a Gate for every purpose, except for The Beyond One ability (Also he is not Controlled by a Cultist, and can exist in the same Area as another Gate).

Spellbooks

Dread Curse of Azathoth (Action. Cost 2): Select an Area and roll 1 Combat die per Abomination and Spawn of Yog-Sothoth in play. Apply the die results as Kills and Pains to enemy Factions in the Area (you choose which Faction receives which results). No Battle-type abilities apply. You choose to which Area(s) Units are Pained.
The Million Favored Ones (Post-Battle): After Pains and Kills are resolved, "promote" any or all surviving Acolytes to Mutants, Mutants to Abominations, and Abominations to Spawns of Yog-Sothoth. You can Promote a Spawn of Yog-Sothoth by transforming it into as many Mutants as are in your Pool.
They Break Through (Ongoing): You can Summon Monsters at Enemy Controlled and Abandoned Gates. You do not need to have any Units present in the Area.

quote:

Faction Ability

Hibernate (Action: Cost 0): Add +1 Power to your total for each enemy Great Old One in play, but you cannot more than double your current Power in doing so.

If the Unique Ability mentions a Faction�s Great Old One, it is considered to also include Tsathoggua.

You gain an Elder Sign OR All their Kill results count as Pains on your units this Battle.
Capture Monster (Action: Cost 1): Tsathoggua can Capture Enemy Monsters in the same manner as Cultists are Captured. They are sacrificed for 1 Power in the next Gather Power Phase.

You may only have one Gate on your Faction Card at a time.

You must have a Controlled Gate.
Pay 10 Power. Nyarlathotep appears at the controlled Gate.
The Harbinger: (Post Battle) If Nyarlathotep is in a Battle in which one or more enemy Great Old Ones are Pained or Killed, you receive Power equal to half the cost to Awaken those Great Old Ones. (Even if Nyarlathotep is killed or Pained himself.) Per enemy Great Old One, you may choose to receive 2 Elder Signs instead of the Power.

Spellbooks

Abduct (Pre-Battle) Eliminate one or more Nightgaunts in the Battle Area. For each such Nightgaunt, your opponent must eliminate one of his own Monsters or Cultists (his choice) in the Area. After this, combat proceeds.
Invisibility (Pre-Battle) Select one Monster or Cultist (from either Faction) per Flying Polyp present and "exempt" it. The selected Unit takes no part in the rest of the Battle.
Seek and Destroy (Pre-Battle) Immediately move any or all Hunting Horrors from any Area to the Battle Area.

The Thousand Forms (Action: Cost 0) If Nyarlathotep is in play, roll 1D6. Your foes must lose that much Power between them, they have 1 minute to decide how much each loses. If they cannot agree, you get the rolled number as Power added to your total. Flip this spellbook face-down to indicate it cannot be used again this turn. During Gather Power, flip it face up again.
Madness (Ongoing) You get to choose to which adjacent Area enemy Units flee to on a Pain result. This happens even in Battles in which you do not participate.

Thanks for the map correction - updated it now. So I just learned we played our first 4 player game on the wrong map.

Once we get one more player we can get started. I figured I'd let people pick sides in randomised order, unless there are any objections.

# ¿ Jun 24, 2018 21:14

Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

Alright, let's get this show on the road. Please pick your factions in the following order:

King of Bleh
Mr Squishy
Dancer
Some Numbers

The player order for the first round will be as above, but starting with whichever player picks Great Cthulhu if anyone does(e.g. if Dancer ended up with Cthulhu, player order for round one would be Dancer, KoB, Squishy, SN) so once everyone has picked you can go ahead and start the first turns. Initial power is 8 for everyone.

I'll provide an initial update as soon as I can.

Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

Actually you know what, I've found a better pbf file that makes integrating the expansion factions a bit easier, so since we have some experienced players and that might balance things out a bit for the newbies if they're playing factions they haven't played before, let's throw them in as well.

I'll update the second post after everyone has selected factions with the special abilities and spellbooks of just the factions that we are using.

You can pick from the following factions (everything except Tcho Tcho):

Cthulhu
Crawling Chaos
Black Goat
Yellow Sign
Sleeper
Opener of the Way
Windwalker

If it's your first game (or you're playing a new faction I guess) it's worth checking out the sections in the rulebook linked in the first post on playing as/against each faction that gets picked. You can also find an overview of the factions and their abilities here: http://cthulhuwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cthulhu_Wars_Strategy_Wikia

Thanks for the reminders Jedit - I had remembered that one but I'm sure to forget other things as we get going so it's helpful to have another pair of eyes!

Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

We could go up to 5 if anyone else wants to join. I'm nervous about keeping track of everything if we go higher than that for the first game.

# ¿ Jun 25, 2018 01:12

Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

Alright, you'll pick last after Some Numbers.

Depending on which factions are picked there might be some decisions to make before the game starts, as some factions get to pick starting areas.

# ¿ Jun 25, 2018 01:46

Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

Alright, Mr Squishy has next pick. For people who are new to the game, the base game factions are probably slightly more straightforward, though there's not too much difference in complexity across the board.

# ¿ Jun 25, 2018 01:54

Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

Thanks for the offer but I'll just stick with the other 7 factions for this one as I'm not familiar with Vassal but have got the xls file I'm using set up to go now.

It's your pick for a faction too 🙂

It'll be fine. Just nick gates.

It's your turn to pick a starting location for WW (Arctic or Antarctic) and then KoB to pick where Opener will begin.

Kerro: Nov 3, 2002; Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..

Yes, as long as stuff works out sequentially (i.e. you earn the spell book before you try to apply its effects) that's completely legal as I understand it - earning spellbooks happens instantly, so their effects are then immediately available.

If I don't hear soon I'm thinking I might just default start WW in Antarctica. I don't want to have to auto-resolve stuff, but it would be good to get things moving now that we're all set up.

Speaking of spellbooks, I had forgotten to add them to the game file. Now corrected.

For reference, Opener can now summon monsters on enemy controlled or abandoned gates, and Yellow Sign can now move The King and immediately take another action (and can also move any undead in his area with him for free).

Sleeper is up.

I'm trusting that you'll correct me if I misinterpret your renaming of team orange units, and/or get my American geography messed up.

Yellow Sign now has:

Zingaya (Action: Cost 1) If Undead are in an area with enemy Acolyte Cultists, transform one such Acolyte Cultist into an Undead.

Plan accordingly.

Crawling Chaos may now continue taking actions until they end of time (or they run out of power), then it will be round end.

End of round

WW becomes new first player, and can choose a spellbook and player order direction.

Once you have chosen player order direction, each player gets the chance to do a ritual, in player order.

I'm out for 10 hours now but feel free to carry on - let me know if I got anything wrong with power totals. I'll update Doom from this doom phase when I get back.

Power totals:

Opener: 10

YS and Opener to decide on ritual, then it's WW first turn after that.

WW now has

Howl (Pre-Battle): Before Battle, if any Wendigos are present, you may force the enemy to Retreat one Unit (of their choice) out of the Area to an adjacent Area.

CC now has

The Thousand Forms (Action: Cost 0) If Nyarlathotep is in play, roll 1D6. Your foes must lose that much Power between them, they have 1 minute to decide how much each loses. If they cannot agree, you get the rolled number as Power added to your total. Flip this spellbook face-down to indicate it cannot be used again this turn. During Gather Power, flip it face up again. Reminder: For pbf, players will have max of 24 hours to decide how to resolve this, preferably less if you can come to an agreement sooner.

Yellow Sign: 6
GOP: 10
Crawling Chaos: 11

I'm pretty sure as YS getting your undead army out as fast as possible is the best option rather than Byakhee, but I guess it depends a bit on what you wanted to do next (i.e. if you were planning on making a gate in Arabia, maybe Byakhee would be better to stay and guard it). But I dunno, I've played them all of once and came second.

No they all fit comfortably without any bending, there's no pressure on any of them. I think there's probably more room to move than there were for the figures in the monster section in the original insert. It does require a little bit of puzzling to work out how to put them in though!

It helps that they all seem to be pretty robust minis without any really fragile parts.

I probably should have written down the measurements cos then I could do it quickly, but yeah I can probably put something together. I don't know if it would work for any of the other factions since I think Tcho Tcho is smaller than most, so this solution likely only works for base game + Tcho Tcho but it's possible it might work if you could get another faction's pieces into that top left corner.

Some Numbers posted:

I was just planning to do Core in the Core box and leave my expansions in their boxes.

In that case there would definitely be more efficient ways to organise things than what I've done - you'd have space to keep the small figures (acolytes) in their own compartments rather than putting them in bags and slotting them in around the other pieces. I think there have been a few different designs posted on BGG (or maybe just photos).
