"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

GURPS CthulhuPunk (1995)

 
 


From publisher blurb:

"Ancient Horror Crawls Into the Dark Future"

The classic horror of the Cthulhu Mythos meets the dark future of cyberpunk . . . CthulhuPunk! The investigators now have supercomputers, cyborged bodies, and deadly new hand weapons – but the breakdown of society has given the malevolent entities of the Mythos new breeding grounds for corruption and decay.

Produced in cooperation with Chaosium, Inc., GURPS CthulhuPunk provides a complete game world, as well as all the important entities, monsters, spells and malevolent tomes from Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu, converted into GURPS terms.

From the web:

"Abort, Retry, Fhtagn? Life in the One-and-Twenty just got a lot more complicated. If you're smart and fast, you might survive . . . for a little while. GURPS CthulhuPunk adds a horrifying new dimension to the chrome-and-sweat battleground of GURPS Cyberworld. As if intelligent computers and razor-clawed cyborgs weren't enough . . . Great Cthulhu is coming. Produced by permission of Chaosium, Inc., the chilling world of GURPS CthulhuPunk combines cyberpunk with the classic Cthulhu Mythos. In a corrupt and decaying world, the Mythos spawns horrors beyond imagining - and the technology of the 21st century offers new tools to mankind in its fight for life . . . and sanity.
