That sounds cool. Can't wait to get it!

But as mentioned earlier by someone else in this thread, most of us love to see some scenarios too!

SGL.

That would be a totally cool setting. Artifacts that were lost or hidden during WWI and WWII could be surfacing, found, or hunted during the years following WWII. Rather than risk total war again, the governments, their agencies, or rogue factions would be doing covert operations and machiations. Sprinkle and dash in some horror and Mythos-esk materials and *poof* you have an really cool background for a spy/cold war setting.

Awsome!

I could see it being used as a behind the scenes excuse for the ending of the cold war.

For instance, what if some faction released something that they couldn't control, and so East and West had to work together to lay the horror to rest before it destroyed the world?

I could even lead to some secret treaties down the line-MALT (Mythos Armament Limitation Treaty).

Kind of like giving them a choice of having the World ruled by Evil Capitalist/Godless Communist or having Cthullu eat it .

Im just glad to see that there is some interest in Berlin '61, even if it is mainly just the setting without the monsters LOL.

PK,

What's the difference between the Players Manual and the core book?

Contradictory Statement. Chtulhu IS the lesser evil.
