Since its release in 2021, Modiphius Entertainment has been releasing new content for fans of the eldritch horror tabletop RPG series Achtung! Cthulhu. Once again they are back with a new field guide campaign to send players through a new 10-part campaign called The Serpent and the Sands. This complete field guide is to one of the Secret War’s most intriguing theaters, featuring battling the might of the insidious Ophidians!
In this guide to North Africa, players will find chapters on both the conventional and Secret Wars, with briefs, adventure seeds, bases, and locations for all major factions in the region, with the centerpiece being a double-page map and guide to Nachtwölfe‘s top secret “Adlerhorst” Eagle’s Nest base. Prepare to go from Alexandria to Cairo via Tobruk, visiting lost Alexandrian temples, bizarre oases, sinister caravanserais, and forgotten temples. Dare you foil the machinations of Alom Shallar, a newly awakened Ophidian sorceress who is intent on realizing the destiny of the Evolved Serpent and resurrecting the long-lost Ophidian empire?
Best of all, agents can explore new character creation options like adventurer, gambler, and diplomat, plus a host of new North African-themed backgrounds, characteristics, and talents to expand their characters. Discover fresh NPC heroes and villains of North Africa, then arm yourself with new tools of the trade, including weapons, vehicles, and creatures.
