One Last Hurrah, At The End of the World

As most people here would know, back in 2020 Cthulhu Reborn released the APOCTHULHU RPG. It was the precursor to Cthulhu Eternal. Now, as the sands of 2025 drain from the hourglass — and the sixth year of the Apocalypse beckons — we’ve released our first new APOCTHULHU scenario for ages … Jo Kreil’s tale of Post-Apocalypse Australia, “Wilderland”.

It’s available as a 30 page PDF right now over on DriveThruRPG.

This scenario has been sitting on our hard drive for quite a while (for various reasons). First commissioned from Jo as part of a project to create a bunch of Lovecraftian-themed adventures set in different periods of Australian history, it was the original spark that led to APOCTHULHU in the first place. So it is kind of poetic to finally be releasing it, converted and prettied up, for that very game.

“Wilderland” is set 20 years after the day when “the stars came right” and Cthulhu Mythos forces reclaimed our planet. Humanity limps on; in a survivor township near Canberra a strange discovery offers a glimmer of hope. A clue about a vast repository of ancient knowledge hidden beneath the sands. But following that lead takes a group of Post-Apocalypse survivors from the (relative) safety of their settlement near Canberra … all the way into the harsh desert interiors of the Australian continent. And the horrors — both Mythos and human — that now lurk in that most inhospitable of locales.

As this is our last release for 2025, we’d like to thank everyone who follows us here on the blog. We will be back next year with more horrible things, but in the meantime … stay safe.
