1900 hours
The last of twilight has faded from behind the London skyline.
Three other agents are striding purposefully from M's office and barely acknowledge you as Moneypenny buzzes you in.
M is seated behind his desk, wearing a grim expression.
“You’ve no doubt heard of the unscheduled nuclear test near the border between China and Kazakhstan."
He leans forward.
“But that was a cover story, propagated by the Chinese and Kazakh governments, and, I’m
afraid, publicly supported by every other major government, including our own. The truth is rather more disturbing.”
M picks up a paper and looks at it.
“Early nuclear response teams have begun analyzing the specific isotopes in the irradiated area, as well as looking for impurities dispersed by the explosion. We believe the fissile material was mined and refined someplace in the former Soviet Union. Q informs me that each region’s materials and each facility’s refining processes leave signatures that can identify them, even after detonation.”
He sets the paper back down and leans back from his desk.
“We believe someone was smuggling nuclear warheads out of Russia or a former
Soviet republic in order to sell them on the black market, perhaps to terrorists. China, despite its strong central government, leaves the north largely alone. The detonation occurred in the Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Xinjiang, where there is only a small central government presence other than what they need to guard the border.”
Picking up another piece of paper, M continues.
“We have identified a half dozen people who may have had the necessary access to get devices with that approximate yield, and we are sending our people out to see what they can learn about each.”
He hands a picture to the characters.

“We have this recent photo of Arseny Kalinin, taken after a Judo session with Vladimir
Putin last week. He is a former GRU and SPETSNAZ officer who was associated with the disarmament process after retiring from the military. Specifically, he worked on decommissioning the 53T6 system we called the ABM-3 Gazelle. Russian records indicate that all were properly disposed of."
"Kalinin is not our top suspect, but we need him checked, especially since our agents in Russia spotted him boarding an airplane for Shanghai yesterday, putting him on a flight passing over the border where the explosion occurred.”
M motions to the door.
“See Miss Moneypenny for your travel documents. You will be meeting with the number two person from our Shanghai Station House, a young man named Manchu Fu. He was born in China but studied at Cambridge. He knows the city, the language, and the important people in the area intimately. Your flight leaves in two hours. A helicopter will take you to Heathrow. Q Branch has already sent some items ahead for you, which Manchu will give you when you meet him.”
M motions toward the door and returns his attention to the papers before him.

I’ve also received it but not had time to open it yet, so I’ll be very interested in your thoughts on it and to see how your game goes 👍

I finally got Trevor Duvall's The Broken Empires 600+ page PDF. Wow, what a tome. I was wondering if anyone who has it has tried the solo mechanics yet? He worked closely with Tana, and it feels like a simplified version of Mythic GME, which is ok by me, plus some of his own tables and rules. I hope to run some kind of solo, whether it be a city intrigue (the social rules are fabulous and like a mini tactical game), overland adventure (also great mechanics) or a combo of both.

This is an update about the Cthulhu Eternal Character Generator
Cthulhu Forever (a Cthulhu Eternal character creation tool)
The most exciting update since the launch, character are now saved in Local Storage.
No longer do you need to export and import your characters, or risk losing changes because you forgot to export.
All changes are now saved in Local Storage and available to you via the "My Characters" tab
It's so much easier to manage multiple character or even play straight from your character sheet, with everything saving automatically and you don't need to do anything.
It's like magic, black Magic!
/pic9800218.png)
Saved in you Browser
Local storage means it's saved on your computer in your browser, so if you move between Computer or Browsers you won't be able to access the same list of Characters.
Itch vs Github
There are two ways of Accessing the Character Creator,
Via "Run Game" in Itch.io or via the Github link https://jonassode.github.io/cthulhu-forever/
Since these are different urls, character for one is not accessible via the other
So pick a way of launch the Tool and stick to it.
Feedback?
I am considering adding the other games that Cthulhu Reborn has published, at least the quick starts as they are under OGL.
I have a big fun feature in mind but i'll keep that till myself until it's done.
Is that something you'd enjoy? Let me know?
Got feedback, or found a bug, please comment or send me a message.
All Hail Barbatos!
