What is Cthulhu Invictus?

The Roman Empire is at war. It’s a secret war against the forces of evil, darkness and chaos, a war known as the shadow war.  It mixes the Cthulhu Mythos with the mythology of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Celts, Germans, Egyptians, and so on.

Cults that worship the Great Old Ones or Outer Gods may be outlawed and therefore operating underground, or officially tolerated or supported by the Imperial authorities. Barbarian tribes often worship one of the Mythos entities and the cults operate in foreign kingdoms. Orgies and human sacrifice in their name happens both within the cities and on the frontier. Deep Ones trade and interbreed with some of the coastal communities. Roman soldiers investigate and hunt down the cults outside of the cities, battling the monsters and their barbarian worshippers—if they don’t get slaughtered first

You will need at least one copy of the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Rulebook to play Cthulhu Invictus.
