This week Other Side Favorite Green Ronin is up with a new AGE game and a new Mythos game. Lucky for me they are one and the same!
Cthulhu Awakens Roleplaying Game

Funded in 40 minutes it is currently sitting at about 6x its funding goal.
This game, powered by their A.G.E. system (ModernAGE, The Expanse, Blue Rose) covers "The Weird Century" from the 1920s til today. And the mythos talked about in stories and tales are only a part of the picture.
Do we need another Cthulhu/Mythos game? Maybe, maybe not, but I do like what I see here and I find this more exciting than some of the Mythos-related RPGs that have come out in the past.
For my home games I can see us using this a lot. For starters there is all the new background details and I like having new life breathed into my Mythos every so often. Sure I do my own stuff, but it is nice to get a fresh perspective.
My son plays FantasyAGE so I am sure I'll do something with that.
I have been trying out The Expanse (spoiler I love it) and I love mixing space travel with the Mythos (see BlackStar) so what if the protomolecule is related to the Old Ones? It could be the start of my BlackStar game! Or at least give me some fun ideas.
The design team for this looks great and I am looking forward to seeing what they can come up with.
I haven't played it in... ages, but I love the AGE system. This sounds like a fun game.
