The Son of Tsathoggua

I had already seen Zvilpoggua done as a Herald, but he’s a Great Old One in his own right, so I figured an Ancient One version would be fun too. I took the “Feaster from the Stars” moniker as my inspiration…he eats things…all the time…even while he’s asleep. I think the style of play he encourages will be fun too…everyone loves making Allies, but sometimes you can’t rationalize going for more than one within the time frame of a given game. Now it’s an imperative that you collect those allies, and quickly.

In larger games, there won’t be enough allies to go around…and I think that creates a fun dynamic too…who in the group is willing to be the martyr?

 

Arkham, Meet Innsmouth

These are still pretty rough…I’m not totally sure about the numbers, especially for Dagon. And Mother Hydra seems a little underpowered to me. But I like Dagon’s special movement ability alot, and making every gate a gate to R’lyeh is pretty nasty (the first time I playtested it, the mechanic was brutal).

There was a lot more to this at one time. Originally, if you played with both heralds, the Southside Church was replaced with an Esoteric Order of Dagon location, and there was a whole new set of encounter cards (with some pretty cool encounters, if I do say so myself). You could become a member of the Order (ala The Silver Twilight Lodge), and could even discover that you have the Innsmouth Look (which is both a Benefit and a Detriment). But something happened when converting between versions of Strange Eons and a bunch of my files were rendered useless. I may redo them at some point…we’ll see.

Edited: Okay, I changed them pretty extensively, while hanging onto the really good parts. These guys should be fun to play with now…
