Overview

Dark Worlds is a new campaign being released by Petersen Games to be played with the Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos (SPCM) expansion for 5e. I was given a PDF copy of The Ritual for review purposes.

It is recommended to use SPCM when playing The Ritual because of added elements like Fright and Dread and monsters. It is not required to use the Mythos book because the expansion has been written to be used as its own setting or as an expansion to the setting you’re currently using. I also recommend the using the SPCM because it contains added information about the Cthulhu Mythos that would be helpful as this campaign dives deeper into that lore. Whatever setting you’re using, however, won’t come into play much. The first scene of chapter one in The Ritual doesn’t go quite as planned and the adventures and other guests at the King’s banquet find themselves in another place, Yuggoth. The Ritual is designed to take 4–5 new player characters to fifth level.

Florence 1

Designer: Dean Morris

Artist: Dann May

Publisher: Braincrack Games

Year Published: Coming to Kickstarter 2021

No. of Players: 1-5

Ages: 14+

Playing Time: 40-80 Minutes

Main mechanic / Theme: Renaissance - worker placement, area majority, and hand management 

Florence combines a brilliant area control and worker placement game, with amazing art, to create something truly magnificent. With so many action choices and strategies to pick and choose from, Florence is crunchy in the best possible way.  Florence has kept me wanting to play over and over since I can try something new every time.
