Very cool to see all the Call of Cthulhu books that are getting translated into Ukrainian by Geekach Games. Круто зварені ігри!

🕴🙃 У день народження великого й жахливого Лавкрафта згадаймо, які матеріали в лінійці гри «Поклик Ктулху» доступні українською вже зараз, і над чим ми працюємо далі!

😱 «Швидкий старт», призначений для першого знайомства з грою, містить стислий огляд правил і вступну пригоду «Привиддя».

🐙 «Базовий набір» включає чотири класичні пригоди, основні правила, набір багатогранних кісток і наочні матеріали до пригод.

🕵️‍♀️ «Набір Вартового» містить зручну ширму майстра, розкішні кольорові мапи та дві пригоди.

🐀 «Шкряб-шкряб» містить сценарій пригоди на одну-дві сесії, події якої розгортаються в сучасності.

🌊 Зараз тривають останні дні передзамовлення на книгу правил, довідник і біблію Некрономікон для майстра гри «Дороговказ Вартового».

🚪 Також чекаємо на книгу «Двері в морок», яка містить п’ять культових пригод для новачків, а електронний формат вже доступний.

🧟 А наступними стануть «Ворота терору» (Gateways to Terror) — три захопливі короткі пригоди — три портали до справжніх кошмарів!
