Brutally nihilistic, the blight elves truly believe that since life has no meaning it also has no value. The fury they feel at those still able to draw joy from an existence they find so hollow fuels their crusade to visit suffering upon universe. They even extend this obstinate malice towards the environment as a whole; taking pride in their capacity to degrade the natural world though diseases, poisons, and any number of dire magical rituals.

The Rise of the Stellar Imperium

“I am so excited about this agreement with the fine people at Chaosium,” said David Jarvis, president of RDP. “I’ve always wanted the chance to write and develop gaming material based on H.P. Lovecraft’s works. To be officially allowed to add our own pages to his legacy is a privilege, one which we don’t take lightly. Fans of True20 and Call of Cthulhu won’t be dissapointed.”

“We look forward to seeing what visions Reality Deviant Publications can share with the greater Call of Cthulhu gaming community. Their enthusiasm is certainly contagious! ”

-Dustin Wright, Chaosium games

Over the course of 2008, Reality Deviant Publications will produce a number of sourcebooks for the True20 game system. The first, “Shadows of Cthulhu” will introduce you to the True20 Cthulhu game and provide you with everything you need to get you started on your descent into madness! The only other book you’ll need is True20 Adventure Roleplaying, published by Green Ronin.

Shortly after the release of the Shadows of Cthulhu core book, Reality Deviant Publications plans to release three supplements describing specific Cthonic settings. RDP will release one new supplement approximately every 2 months.

SUPPLEMENT #1: ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND

Terrible things lurk at the edges of civilization in the age of Shakespeare and the rise of English Puritanism. While this book contains some new options and suggestions for hero creation, it is primarily a guidebook for understanding the role of the Cthulhu Mythos during this period. Did the Master of Revels close the playhouses because Kit Marlowe’s final play drove people mad? Is it really the Catholics that conspire to take over the crown, or are there more sinister forces involved? And what of the terrible rumors about the freak storms that drove the Spanish Armada into the sea? What really happened to the failed English colonies in the New World?

SUPPLEMENT #2: ANCIENT SUMERIA

The origins of much of mankind’s knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos lies at the beginning of history, in the river valleys of Mesopotamia. This is a period when dreams mean something and demons openly walk the Earth. But this is also an age when many of the secrets known to man since the dawn of time are suppressed or transformed into man-made religions. It is the beginning of modern sanity. The people of this period still understand the power of the gods over them, but they have established a civilization and feel the first flush of power over nature and their oppressive deities. And they have Gilgamesh. This heroic figure, known as Sha nagba imuru, or the “one who saw all,” was proof that a man with enough knowledge could transcend the power of the gods.

SUPPLEMENT #3: ELDERS UNLEASHED!

When the stars are right, the earth will fall, but not without a fight! In an age when ancient secrets are no longer secret and gigantic elder beings have destroyed entire cities and killed millions on the evening news, mankind struggles to survive and stay sane. Civilization has completely collapsed in some parts of the world, and many major cities are deserted nuclear wastelands, testaments to how far leaders will go to stop the madness. But order still hangs by a thread in green zones patrolled by paranoid police forces. Special troops are equipped to identify and engage the unthinkable, then forget everything they did and saw. Scientists and scholars study the artifacts of the enemy in secret research facilities, always under the watchful eye of soldiers looking for any sign that they’re “crossing over.” Only the very brave or truly insane travel the world at large.

Aspect Subtype

An aspect is a subsapient AI trained to mimic one or more skills or facets of a sentient being (usually the owner). For all their seeming intelligence an aspect’s reactions are the result of highly complex programming. Aspects are immune to mind-affecting or interaction effects, but might be programmed to respond to them. Aspects that encounter a situation completely foreign to their programming generally act confused or switch to standby mode.

An unsubtle virus program originally created during the 2086 Blood Throne Flame War, it has since gone on to propagate across the net. GOBLYNN creates what almost seems like a never-ending army of hostile VR constructs that swamp HR domains with a multitude of little monstrous imps whose sole function is to derezz nearby avatars, and divert memory resources in hopes of crashing the local domain. Some versions of the program (of which there seems an endless variety) sport specific looks, colors, and designs including: Eastern tengu, garden gnomes, caricatures of famous people, or ex-romantic partners. Some versions also swap the typical medieval VR weaponry and armor for more interesting choices like brass knuckles, tasers, chainswords, laser pistols, or submachine guns.

GOBLYNN (Virtual Virus)

Any damaging hit on a system (including a personal avatar) from a GOBLYNN imp or its attached weapons has the potential to spread the GOBLYNN virus. The virus acts like a poison, requiring an system Robustness save to avoid the initial damage, followed a minute later by a second save to avoid the secondary damage. GOBLYNN cannot spawn more imps from a given system than that systems current Power score.

A Theban Sphinx is a high end AI defensive program that appears VR as a classic sphinx with the hindquarters and forelimbs of a lion, the wings of a falcon and the head and torso of a beautiful woman, the neon NILE Technological Enterprises logo and trademark revolving above their heads. A sphinx is typically attached as a guardian program to important files, or domains. Intruders are met with a logic problem that must be overcome in order to proceed. Such problems usually involve symbolic or abstract logic and might include complex dreamlike VR simulations. In direct VR combat, sphinxes use their powerful claws to flay the avatars of their enemies.
