I was at Sandy Petersen‘s house the other day; in between watching movies, I asked him about his upcoming board game, CTHULHU WARS. Sandy is a game designer, best known for the CALL OF CTHULHU role-playing game and DOOM.
I’ll let you guys know when the Kickstarter begins… stay tuned! You might want to sign up for email notifications (top right side of this webpage) and subscribe to the Lovecraft eZine Youtube Channel.
Here are some previews of the game:

Wow! Congrats. I´ve recently been watching the game in kickstarter. Totally amazing. I´ve seen that fenris games are the artists that sculped your miniatures, do they do also the reproductios, or are they done by another company? (they look great detailed even being plastic). Seriously, an exceptional job, hope you break the 900ks 😉

oops sorry. I actually remembered it was oil after i said what I said – i even remember you sending me the varnish or whatever it was I had to brush over the artwork. It’s an awesome painting regardless. How many people have an original Tom Sullivan in their living room?

The design is done. We are just waiting on the figure sculpts, and then the kickstarter goes in. Any Dallas-area fans of Mike’s eZine who wants to try out the game, drop me a line at spetersen@barkinglizards.com

Sandy has said that he’d bring his pre-release version to the festival (http://hplfilmfestival.com), where he will do a demo of the game. I can’t wait!
BTW, Mike, what movies did you watch? Anything I should know about?
Cheers

Let’s see… we watched SPIDER LABYRINTH, which I definitely need to add to my Lovecraftian movies page list; we watched THE SIGNAL MAN, based on the short story by Charles Dickens… and several others.
