Cthulhu:Death may Die

Cthulhu:Death may Die
Official Blurb" In Cthulhu: Death May Die, inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, you and your fellow players represent investigators in the 1920s who instead of trying to stop the coming of Elder Gods, want to summon those otherworldly beings so that you can put a stop to them permanently. You start the game insane, and while your long-term goal is to shoot Cthulhu in the face, so to speak, at some point during the game you'll probably fail to mitigate your dice rolls properly and your insanity will cause you to do something terrible — or maybe advantageous. Hard to know for sure.

The game has multiple episodes, and each of them has a similar structure of two acts, those being before and after you summon whatever it is you happen to be summoning. If any character dies prior to the summoning, then the game ends and you lose; once the Elder One is on the board, as long as one of you is still alive, you still have a chance to win.

The episodes are all standalone and not contingent on being played in a certain order or with the same players."

So is this the one? I have over the years acquired many Lovecraft
Mythos Games. They all have come up short for me, some are
just too limited in scope (how much Horror can Arkham stand)
or simply a grab bag of Mythos monsters that have no relation
to the GOO your investigating/opposing. Even my favorite Eldritch
Horror although it covers globe spanning Missions & has
specific minions based on the GOO gets abstract when it comes to
combat.

Cthulhu: Death May Die is a Dungeon Crawl ,the Investigators
come from cities all over the world (so it's easy to fluff out a
Location for the Episode your playing).The Minions match up to their GOO & as the Inv. already are insane it gives a good rational for
actually combating a GOO.

As usual I missed the KS on this & now it's in a couple of days
of its release. CMON has as usual packed a load of KS Exclusives
which add so much to the Game it makes buying retail seem
like getting half a Game.So as usual I checked Ebay & found
a listing for the Game & all the stretch Goals for a fairly reasonable
price ( as opposed to other kidney taking offers) & won the bid
( thus killing off my Game budget till at least January).

Another bonus is that its 1-5 players(Investigators) vs the
AI Mythos forces so I don't need tp work out any Solo Rules.
Of course there are those damn COMON extra buys so their
are 2 Expansions I'll need to get when my plastic recovers
but they will be available Retail.

So This may be it!

PS. I broke down & bought the 2 Expansions off ebay. Now to just endure my wife's wrath.

RE: Cthulhu:Death may Die
Just to update COMOM came up with another money grab...er....KS that included Hardbound Comics & extra figs.for Zombicide.Invader & Cthulhu:
Death May Die. They at least gave you a choice of backing all 3 or 2 or just 1, so I went for the Cthulhu Death May Die one.

Not really interested in the Comic but I wanted the 6 new Investigators ,it was projected to be released last Feb. but of course COMON is not exactually
known for keeping shipping dates. Of Course the whole Covid thing blew up but the KS was already well behind before the Pandemic hit.

So my pledge is now schedule to hit the US early next week which hopefully means I'll get it by the end of June.

RE: Cthulhu:Death may Die
I went in for a copy of the C:DMD set with a friend who backed the project for the zombicide extras. Looking forward to it. I actually quite enjoy comics so I think it's a nice duo

RE: Cthulhu:Death may Die
I've been reading about a big back up at US Ports so I hope it doesn't cause more delay in getting the pledges shipped.
Some KS posters have been critical of the C:DMD comic & although it's not something I would have gone for without
the Inv.figs I nevertheless am looking forward to reading .

The Court of the Dead/Mourners Call Board Game had a related Hardbound Comic which I did get as I was intrigued by
the Theme & I enjoyed it. They were suppose to come out with another comic but to date it hasn't happened.

RE: Cthulhu:Death may Die
The comic arrived and my friend sent me pics. I won't see him for another week, but am HYPED!

I quite like Zombicide, but I do hope they give it a break and circle back around to give CDMD a 3rd and 4th season. The game is such a vibrant fun experience.

RE: Cthulhu:Death may Die
Enjoy! I still haven't received a Tracking # & it looks like the East Coast is at the end of the stick for shipping.
I hope they do more expansions even if it's just more GOO'S & there minions.

RE: Cthulhu:Death may Die
Well my "stuff' did come Friday but not till 6:45 PM alas my wife had ordered a porch rocker to replace
our old one which had rotted out which also came. The damn thing came in a carton about 5' by 4" so
rather than settling down with my comic today I'll be cursing & assembling the rocker.
