Uncle Mike's Worldwide: Lovecraft Mythos Strange Aeons - 2nd Edition Kickstarter Launched

Uncle Mike's Worldwide: The new edition of Strange Aeons will be at least 180 pages long – more than double the size of the 1st Edition! And this is almost entirely game-usable content. We plan to include a section outlining the history of the Threshold Agency, and possibly some additional ‘flavour’ content via stretch goals, but apart from these elements, the book will be all meat, no filler. Grab yourself some rules, investigators and nasty creature by pledging here.

While we’ll be redesigning the interior of the book completely, we’re sticking with the size and format of our very well-received 1st Edition: full colour throughout on sturdy paper, with a heavy cardstock cover and our signature coil binding. Also, we’re maintaining our high standard for interior art, with contributions from Riley Rossmo, Toren Atkinson, Matteo Bocci, Mike Perry, Brant Benoit, Melvin de Voor and comic legend Nat Jones (Death Dealer, '68), whose work also appears on the Kickstarter-exclusive Bookplate we'll be including with every printed copy of the Rulebook.

 

Strange Aeons is a thrilling miniature skirmish game set in the 1920s and populated with the weird denizens of the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Designed for use with 28-32mm scale miniatures, each 2-player match of Strange Aeons plays in 30-60 minutes and requires only 3-10 models per player. And with a standard board area of just 2’ x 3’ (approx. 60 x 90 cm), all else you need to play is some six-sided dice, a tape measure, a kitchen table and a box of scenery.

Players build squads of valiant agents from the Threshold Agency - mankind’s only shield against the unimaginable forces that lurk beyond the veil – and do battle with the foul Lurkers, who seek to pave the way for the return of their dark gods. As Threshold squads progress through a broad range of scenarios, they will gain new abilities and equipment through an option-filled advancement system. Be wary though! The opposing Lurkers can tailor their forces to match Threshold’s level each game, selecting from over 50 devilish monster profiles lifted straight from the pages of the Mythos to present Threshold with a nearly limitless variety of challenges. As you advance, the injuries will mount, followed by the inevitable onset of madness, assuming your operatives remain stalwart and don't fall prey to the insidious temptation of darkness...
