For those who don’t recognize the name, shame on you. Go find your Call of Cthulhu rule book. Go ahead, we’ll wait.Now look at the names on the cover. There you go, Sandy Peterson. The older the version, the fewer the names, until you get to the original 1st edition, and it’s only his name.
Mr. Peterson is the original creator of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Sanity mechanic? It’s his. 30+ years of entertainment for tens of thousands of gamers? It’s due to him.
Okay, now you know that we owe this guy for the game we love. Well, he’s asking for help with a great little project he’s working on.
After he changed roleplaying games, he then went on to video games. Here are a few of the titles he had a hand in:
Age of Empires 3; Halo Wars; Quake; Age of Mythology; Rise of Rome; LUXOR; Doom; Doom 2; X-Men Legends 1; Hexen; Elder Scrolls Oblivion; Duke Nukem 3D
So yeah. A few titles in there you’ve probably heard of.
Mr. Peterson is now combining these two passions into a turn-based strategy game that combines concepts from Risk, Heroes of Might and Magic, Civilization, and the Cthulhu Mythos.
This was originally conceived as an iOS device only program, but it’s now going to have Android and Kindle versions too!
So get over there and help Sandy get this game made!
