So, on a friend's recommendation I picked up Black Void. It sounded awesome, I ended up disappointed and returning it (to Amazon.) Because it was a fantasy game. It seems to be a really solid "Lovecraftian" themed fantasy game. The system was solid and traditional, but relatively simple, lots of neat species/races. Humans were swept away from Earth in the distant past by a Lovecraftian event and ended up spread out only to slowly regather themselves after centuries. The interesting magic system seemed well done, it just wasn't what I was looking for--though it came very close. I was hoping it had a more SF bent. On its surface it sounded like Eldritch Skies/Ashen Stars, but darker and more moody and thematic. But alas it was too core fantasy at its heart.
So has anyone else picked it up? What did you think? I mean, if I were in the market for a fantasy game of any kind right now, I'd be more than happy to own it. However, I'm just not. I'm more into Sci-Fi and other things.
Does anyone know any solid space-horror with Lovecraftian elements? Or other dark and twisty things?
