The version of Achtung! Cthulhu presented in the 2d20 books very much presents super-science and supernatural adventures in the forefront, with the war as a backdrop to those stories. This version of the rules feels very much at home using things like Hellboy and Captain America: The First Avenger as inspiration as well.
If you are familiar with other 2d20 games, the magic system is less complicated than the Sorcery from Conan, but a little more complicated than the supernatural powers from Dishonored. Unlike Dishonored, a character picks a subset of spells that are active in their mantle, rather than having access to all of their known spells all at once.
The momentum attrition in the game is more accelerated, like in Conan, where it erodes at a rate of 1 momentum per round in combat, as opposed the 1 per scene erosion that is common to non-combat scenes to other 2d20 games, and is always true in Star Trek Adventures.
Both characters and monsters in the game are meant to spend more time on the battlefield taking punishment. Unlike some 2d20 games where a single wound can take a character out, and two are very serious, characters in Achtung! Cthulhu take three before they are dying or in danger of breaking down. Various supernatural characters and creatures may gain additional wounds they can suffer before being defeated, and larger and bulkier creatures take more stress before they suffer a wound. Instead of tracking special currencies for NPCs, effects that player characters trigger with fortune are often triggered by the GM by spending multiple points of threat.
The Gamemaster section is probably one of my favorite Gamemaster sections in any of the 2d20 books that I have read. It very clearly presents how to frame scenes, how to gauge opposition in the system, and is extremely clear when presenting rules like extended tasks. It also has a very good treatment on pacing the player-facing currencies and awarding XP. While I wish it had more on safety, session zero, and setting expectations (more on this later), the advice it has specifically for this implementation of the 2d20 system is very good and is probably worth reading if you run other 2d20 games as well.
The rules should look familiar if you have seen any other 2d20 games. You have an attribute and a skill, and if you roll below the total of those two numbers on a check, you get a success. If you have a focus in a relevant ability, you get two successes if you roll under your skill number. Momentum, threat, and fortune are all currencies that work in a similar manner to other 2d20 games (i.e. buy extra dice to roll, buy an automatic success, or give the GM currency to use).
In general, I like a lot of the genre tropes that are being utilized in this game line so far. I like most of the implementations of the 2d20 system that I have seen, and I think it will work well for an action-based game.
I took the liberty and posted links to this thread on Discord, MeWe and Reddit encouraging everyone to post their questions about Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 here in this thread.
That way we might get a single place to look for rules clarifications from the start.
In 2d20 Difficulty 1 is the default Difficulty. Only if there are circumstances that make things harder the Difficulty will rise. (Exceptions are to be found in the rules for ranged weapons and some other topics. But if there is nothing else stated, it is Difficulty 1 as default.)
All in all, the way the basic rules are presented made them easy to understand. I now feel like I better understand the 2d20 basics, at least how they pertain to this particular engine variation. I think the rules presented here support the pulpy tones that the game is striving for.
_______- Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 Quickstart1________2d202________- Modiphius3_____- FREE here -Cthulhu-2d20-Quickstart?affiliate_id=6586184______- Let's kill some Cthulhu Nazis! 97%
5______- The Weird Wars are back! Achtung! Cthulhu is a horror/action RPG using the Achtung! Cthulhu world and the new(er) 2d20 system put forward by Modiphius. Let's dig into this historical horror.
Base mechanics-The 2d20 system is a roll-under system. Every time you do an action, you use a skill and an attribute. You add your skill and attribute together and try to roll under that total on each individual die. If you roll under your skill, you score two successes and if you roll under the total you just score one success. Get enough successes, you do the action. You need between 0 and five successes.
6___________________- I like what's here. I love Call of Cthulhu, and 2d20 feels enough like that but it has some things that feel like DnD. There are feat like traits. There is a more combat emphasis, and the flow of threat and momentum makes things a bit more dynamic than either parent game. There are parts I want described more like spending threat. This is a quickstart for free, so it's ok if it's not a complete rules book now, but I want more of that in the final product. That said, the crunch here feels good and full of combat goodness with hints of story built in to keep the action rolling. 4.5/5
7______________- Hate Nazis? Want to hate Cthulhu Naizs? I'VE GOT A GAME FOR YOU! The ultimate killable bad guys are the main villains here, so it always feels fun to fight those guys. It is Weird War, so get ready for some strange elements, from spellcasting Americans to Australians with combat dogs. But, here is where things shine. 2d20 is built on this back and forth of rolls, story, and tension. Momentum and threat roll back and forth across the table making things fun. There is absolutely nothing wrong with some old school gaming, but for story and theme, I love when the mechanics build into that. This system does that well. 5/5
This new edition of 8________________ uses the Modiphius 2d20 system, the same system used for Conan, Star Trek Adventures, and Dune. The 2d20 system is designed for pulpy cinematic action, so it's a good match for 9________________.
During combat, I found the Range of the firearms very limiting and unrealistic. In our final encounter. We entered a large room consisting of 3 10_____: two Zones for the large room and a final Zone for the dais where the bad guys were performing a ritual. To shoot them, we would have to enter the room (if we didn't, firing would cross 3 Zones and be impossible) and fire at Long Range to hit the cultists. Considering the Thompson (and MP40) are Close Quarter weapons, it meant that we needed 3 successes to hit anybody on the dais. Since you start with 2d20 without any bonuses, it's unlikely you can hit anyone. And if you do a 11_____, which is to empty your clip, you only gain the 12_____effect. It doesn't increase your chance to hit. We wound up moving 2 Zones before we were combat effective. This is crazy bad. The combat turned out to be more like Conan than WW2. We were mostly toe-to-toe with the bad guys in the same or adjacent Zone, firing guns. It wasn't very realistic, but more cinematic.
The 2d20 system has had a lot of experience for running pulp games so this variant for Achtung! Cthulhu fits the genre like an old glove. I like the Momentum and Threat mechanics and how it gamifies the expected see-sawing of heroics and danger in pulp fiction, while the Truths mechanics simplifies a whole lot of edge cases in a manner that is elegant in play.
Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 offers a significantly different feel than the Call of Cthulhu variant of A!C. We had fun playing the Savage Worlds version back then, but the new version is definitely my favourite. I put A!C 2d20 in the pulp category and, as mentioned above, it can be compared to Indiana Jones. The players found their characters to be competent and powerful, but they are not supermen. The use of magic is very exciting and I really like the effects of Mythos monsters. We had a lot of fun and I was asked directly about a sequel, which I will then offer with the complete rules. 5376163bf9
