Is this a standalone adventure or does it require other books?
It is a 50-page standalone mission. It includes everything needed to play, such as pre-generated characters and scenario details, though the Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 core rulebook is required to understand the game mechanics.
What is included in the module?
The module contains the 50-page adventure book with full-colour artwork, five pre-generated resistance hero character sheets, blueprints and maps of the train, and print-at-home player handouts.
Can this be linked to other Achtung! Cthulhu campaigns?
Yes, it can be run as a prequel to the 'Forest of Fear' campaign or used as a standalone adventure. The Game Master can easily adapt it to fit into an ongoing campaign.
How many players is it designed for?
The adventure is designed for a group using the five provided pre-generated resistance heroes. It is typically suited for a group of 4-5 players plus one Game Master.
What is the approximate playing time?
As a focused, mission-based adventure, it is designed to be completed in one or two extended tabletop sessions, depending on the group's pace.
What genre and tone does the adventure have?
It is a pulp-action and historical horror adventure set in World War II, blending military thriller elements with the occult mysteries of the Achtung! Cthulhu setting. The tone is tense and high-stakes.
Are the maps and handouts provided in a digital format?
The physical book contains the maps and blueprints. The product description mentions 'print-at-home handouts', suggesting supplementary digital files are typically available from the publisher's website with purchase, though you should confirm this with the retailer.
