Revision as of 13:55, 26 October 2007
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!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF POKETHULHU!
Pikathulhu, the familiar "mascot" of the Pokéthulhu Adventure Game whown here with the motto that drives the sanity from fellow cultists one and all.
Pokéthulhu is a comedic/horror role-playing rule set and campaign setting. Pokéthulhu or more properly, the Pokéthulhu Adventure Game, is a parody of both the Pokémon Junior Adventure Game published by Wizards of the Coast, and of the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game published by Chaosium.
The game is written and designed by S. John Ross and currently published (in its 3rd Edition) as a free game available from Cumberland Games and Diversions. The third edition includes some substantial additions to the game, including a large collection of fan-designed creatures, and an expanded card-based game system dependent on the ability of players to cite obscure trivia about a television show that doesn't actually exist. A small number of fan-authored websites also exist to support the game.
The two prior editions were published by Squishy Brain Games (in 2000) and by Dork Storm Publishing (in 2002). Each edition has featured illustrations by John Kovalic and additional contributions by Philip J. Reed.
