This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I picked this up a couple weeks ago and have been slowly reading through it. Wow, very nice stuff. A promising start to a series of game lines, all focused around 20th century (military) conflicts.

This past weekend, I queried my players, asking what Rpg they'd be most interested in me running. (I gave them a list of what I'd feel comfortable GMing to narrow things down). WWC won the majority vote. Dark Streets put up a bit of a fight... and I'll probably get around to running it in the near future.

I've heard a little bit about Achtung Cthulhu, but from my understanding it's intended to be very pulpy in play. (Correct me if I'm wrong). WWC shears a little closer to a gritty historical game - which has far more appeal to me.

That is very much the difference between the two projects. Achtung! Cthulhu is much pulpier, much more over-the-top, while WWC indeed tries for more of a quiet horror sense.

I contributed to WWC, and have friends who worked on A!C, and think that there is plenty of space in the field for both to thrive.
