Set in the same timeline as Achtung! Cthulhu, Cohors Cthulhu expands the ongoing Against The Gods Themselves universe in development from Modiphius Entertainment. Players will take on the roles of diverse heroes from across the Roman Empire and put aside prejudices to make allies of former enemies in order to confront Eldritch horrors. Powerful as these adversaries may be, there is a reason humanity is coveted by entities that can swallow entire stars—their limitless potential threatens even the gods.
*
*
It falls to players to achieve that potential by plundering forgotten ruins, seeking strange allies, exploring untamed forests where cultists prowl, and delving lost temples and forgotten cities, all to empower themselves against the Mythos. They may find weapons such as Atlantean relics, become transformed by Hyperborean armories, or earn the blessings of more benevolent gods.
*
Players can get their first taste of Cohors Cthulhu via the Quickstart Guide, and sign up for the latest news, teasers, fiction, and more by visiting www.cohorscthulhu.com.
