4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent expression of the darkness hiding in all of us., September 9, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Gurps Cthulhupunk: Ancient Horror Crawls into the Dark Future (Steve Jackson Games) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent suplement in the cyberpunk universe. It's descriptions of the Mythos are quite good although they do contradict Lovecraft in places, though none of these contradiction are very major.
The setting is a future earth where larg corporations have taken over and dark powers man can't hope to understand hide in the shadows. These powers will not be content to hide forever. They feed off the suffering of mankind in this dismal age. The major drawback of this world is that you really need GURPS CyberWorld (Which happens to be one of the best Worldbooks GURPS has ever done) to play it effectively. This is a departure from typical GURPS suplements in that it really isn't a stand alone worldbook. Overall though it is an excellent supplement and a must for anyone who loves Lovecraftian Horror and Cyberpunk.
