Question: Achtung! Cthulhu or World War Cthulhu?

As the title says, what has more appeal to people here?

Never played WW Cthulhu. Achtung! Cthulhu was fun while the game lasted.

I personally prefer  Achtung Cthulhu as I like the SW system

I've had pretty good luck running the Fate version of Achtung! Cthulhu at the table rather than PbP. I've never played SW (although I own it and several settings as well) of any variety so have little to offer on that front.

I'm learning the SW system and it seems very playable in most settings.

So...

IF I were to offer a Savage Worlds game set in the very early stages of WW2, would there be much interest?

IF such a game were to be run, it wouldn't begin until the new year, maybe the middle of January.

Re: Question: Achtung! Cthulhu or World War Cthulhu?

I was thinking of setting the game at the start of the war, with players part of the B.E.F.

Does that appeal?

Re: Question: Achtung! Cthulhu or World War Cthulhu?

Works for me. Question, can I get away with only having Savage Worlds and an understanding of Cthulhu Mythos or do I need AC books?

Savage Worlds is fine. I would be putting up full character generation rules for all to follow..

I've got exams to sit at work over the next few weeks, but hopefully over Christmas I'll have time to work on a campaign and write up some Character Generation hints/house-rules based on Achtung! Ctulhu/WW2.
