Hello there, cultists-in-training!

We know you’ve been waiting with bated breath for more news about your favorite high school horror RPG, and we’re finally ready to spill the beans!

Your Characters, Brought to Life

Our talented artists have been conjuring up some truly horrifying and hilarious character designs for our Prom Queen and Notable Pupil backers. We promise they’re as weird and wonderful as you could hope for.

Face Your Fears

We’ve also been hard at work bringing some of Lovecraft’s most iconic monsters to life. Check out these exclusive illustrations of the Dimensional Shambler and the Ghoul. They’re just waiting to haunt your dreams!


A Lovecraftian Christmas 

Want to add a touch of cosmic horror to your holiday festivities? We recommend picking up a copy of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Festival." Set during the Yuletide season, this tale is a perfect blend of ancient rituals, eerie atmosphere, and a whole lot of cosmic dread. 

It was the Yuletide, that men call Christmas though they know in their hearts it is older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Memphis and mankind. It was the Yuletide, and I had come at last to the ancient sea town where my people had dwelt and kept festival in the elder time when festival was forbidden; where also they had commanded their sons to keep festival once every century, that the memory of primal secrets might not be forgotten.


While we don’t recommend summoning ancient evils during the holiday season, we do recommend summoning your friends to join in on the fun of High School Cthulhu.

Best,

The Gear Games Team
