Cthulhu Dreamt is the Lovecraftian nightmare dreamers have been waiting for.

The multimedia storytelling experience is LIVE on Kickstarter

(Far off future, March 28th, 2023) You've awoken from a dead sleep, only to find that the ancient being discovered by scientists 5 years ago seems to have finally awoken from his dream, and now intends to make your reality a waking nightmare. Welcome to the world of Cthulhu Dreamt. Cthulhu Dreamt is a multimedia storytelling experience, taking shape as a tabletop role-playing game, a soundtrack, a novel, and more. You can immerse yourself in the story through music, prose, a connected ARG—and then you can live the story! The kickstarter is LIVE at 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/actionfiction/cthulhu-dreamt-rpg-and-accompanying-soundtrack?ref=dbln0d

The creators of this project are leaders in the different mediums related to this project. The game is accompanied by an original and stream-safe soundtrack written and performed by members of Cthulhu Dreamt including Fable Factory founder Reed Reimer. The soundtrack also includes tracks that were performed by orchestras from Russia and The Czech Republic. The music was written to be an audio story experience, which can be enjoyed with the game or stand-alone, and will include loopable versions. The game is built on an original D12 system designed by Adam Baffoni and written by Jaron R. M. Johnson, one of the lead designers of Monsters of Murka. The game includes a fully playable campaign and the game rules in one book as well as ten playable specializations and dozens of fully realized, horrifyingly original creatures. 

The book will be available in Digital, Standard Hardcover, and Slipcase. The Soundtrack will be available in Digital, Vinyl, and CD. Both the book and soundtrack will have more features added throughout the Kickstarter campaign as unlockable tiers. A companion Novel will also be available as a digital reward with physical copies available as an add-on. In addition, music features will be Stream-safe which means that anyone doing an Actual Play or using the soundtrack on their Youtube, Twitch, Facebook, or any other stream will not receive a flag, warning or takedown notice.

About Cthulhu Dreamt: 

Cthulhu Dreamt is a multimedia sci-fi tabletop RPG that explores a near-future Earth, where Cthulhu has awakened and begun exerting his otherworldly influence on the planet. This project offers a fresh take on Cthulhu by imagining the horror occurring in our world with technology that may or may not exist in the year 2034.

You and your friends play a group of people who awaken from a shared dream and are called upon by a secret government agency to rescue one of their top scientists. On your journey across the globe, you will fend off the rising tide of cosmic effects and otherworldly organisms from consuming the planet… and humanity along with it.
