This is a call for donations to make possible what may turn out to be one of the best board games ever made.  The game is called Cthulhu Wars.  Just in case you didn't already know, I am a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos.  I <3 anything Cthulhu, and that is why I want to see this game become everything it has the potential to be.

If you donate money toward its production, you will not only be helping the game's makers to reach their goals, you will also be getting rewards in return based on the size of your donation.  The rewards include the game itself, expansions, dice, figurines, t-shirts, and signed art prints. Think of it more like a pre-order for all of these goodies!  Here's a little video to give you the gist of what you would be supporting.  Also, you can read the rules here.



Donations are accepted through a Kickstarter fund created by Sandy Peterson, the mastermind behind Chaosium's original Call of Cthulhu game.  He has already raised enough money not only to produce the game but to offer several expansions and present a higher quality product.  There are currently 3,288 backers who have together given a total of $837,942.  That's amazing, right?!

HOWEVER.

There are several stretch goals that have yet to be met, and I know that I and the people generously backing this game would love to see even more figurines and expansions.  Plus, if you make a donation of $200 or higher, you'll receive all the free prizes associated with the stretch goals, and there are A LOT of them.  Do not fret if you aren't Daddy Warbucks; you can pledge as little or as much as you like, and prizes start at just $10.

Donations/pre-orders will no longer be accepted after Sunday, July 7, 2013.  So please, for the love of all things in R'lyeh, click on the widget below and give what you can to make this game epic.
