RPGMP3 (211 KP) rated Cthulhu Wars in Tabletop Games

The collection of spellbooks leads to an asymmetric play style, where each faction has to achieve specific things in order to be able to meet the criteria for winning. At the same time, players are trying to thwart each other and ensure that no one makes it too far ahead.
There is a lot of like about Cthulhu Wars. The minis are spectacular and massive. There is nothing quite like picking up a large handful of Nyarlothotep and hearing the satisfying thunk as you move to a new location.
Players with experience playing the game with the various factions will have a clear advantage over players who are just starting out as they have some insight into how their opponents work but with a few games, most of the basic strategies become clear enough.
An impressive game to play that sticks close to the source material and delivers on the quality of the components. It is well worth your time to take a look and sit in one a game.

The vivid imagery encapsulates you inside it's pages and it is a true testament to the ten years that Madeline Miller spent writing this modern day retelling of one of the most famous stories ever told.
I had seen people praising this book for a long time and only now got round to finally seeing what all of the fuss was about and let me just say that it is well worth it. I can't remember the last time that a book made me feel like this, so beautiful in plot and in prose that it leaves you hanging on every last word. The intricacy and delicacy of the language makes even the most gruesome and explicit of scenes dance on the page and imprint themselves into your mind and will likely remain with you long after you've read the final page (which in my mind is one of the most beautiful parts of the whole book).
My emotions were stolen from me at every stage there's not one part which didn't have some sort of pull on my heartstrings although each very different.
In summary, I could be stabbed 700 times in the stomach and it still wouldn't be as painful as the song of achilles. Well done Madeline Miller, well done.

While the writing is enjoyable in the moment and in short bursts, I don't tend to find it too engaging and find my attention wandering off quite often and have to reread passages. I also tended to find that I didn't particularly care what was happening to the characters, I just felt I was along for the ride without a clear idea of where I was going or why. I think Lawrence has said this is how he writes, he knows who the characters are and where they are headed but a lot of the plot emerges as he writes. This seems to please a lot of fans, but I don't think I have the discipline for that sort of reading. I'm the same with open-world video games - I don't have the discipline to force myself to focus on one mission, I wander off up a mountain and get mauled by a lion after not saving for an hour. I need a degree of linearity in my life and can't deal with too much chaos. But this is about me and not a criticism of the book.
Overall I enjoyed the read but felt at times the journey was a little bumpy.
