I will be running a short CoC: Invictus adventure next month. Here is my prep journal stamped with a thematic linocut Polina made for me years ago. Usually, most of my prep material is digital, but Cthulhu sort of requires a more 'analog' approach.

We tried to follow Trek's visual style as much as we could to capture the feel of series, and I think it paid off as it turned out to be very atmospheric game.

I love preparing and running this game, and hope that we will be returning to the Shackleton Expanse more in the future. Stay tuned! ⬅️

...or when they render a real opening sequence by the third session!
It features their proud vessel Nova Class NCC-72432 USS Zheleznogorsk on its mission to explore the mysterious Shackleton Expanse in Beta Quadrant. ⬇️

There was a break-in period (none of my players had prior experience with 2d20 and I ran my last game using STA more than a year ago), but we totally had a blast in the end! You know that your players are loving it when they produce art of this quality... (art by @mushkazz.bsky.social) ⬇️
