The game is written and designed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._John_Ross S. John Ross] and currently published (in its 3rd Edition) as a free game available from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumberland_Games_and_Diversions Cumberland Games and Diversions].

A small number of fan-authored websites also exist to support the game.

Pokethulhu logo.jpg





That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange aeons even death may die!
To bring down our masters on an icy night,
And to claim the power when the stars are right . . .
Derleth!
Bloch!
Team Eibon! Stand fast to resist our rage . . .
Or flee to the safety of a new dark age!
