Beta Maxxthulhu AE

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Learned people say that books can lead one’s mind to places it would never have ventured before. As I write this book of my own adventures, here in the lavender garden of St Michael’s Asylum for the Mentally Ill, I am eminently qualified to confirm that it is no pithy aphorism.

The things of which I read would send the hair of most grown adults alabaster white, and take ten years from their life.

Writing them down, so my Doctor has told me, will be a way to take these things from the nightmares of my psyche and give them a form that is ordinary and thus rendering them impotent. I don’t know if my learned Doctor knows just what he is asking but I shall try it anyway as no amount opium or snuff has proven enough to end the iron hold of the things I have seen, heard, smelled, tasted, and touched.

It all began with a presumed innocent trip to the library at Oxford University...


Beta Maxxthulhu is a Weird Tales genre game set in a loosely defined 19th Century European setting using the Beta Maxx Engine. It is a light rules engine intended to give a combination of support structure but plenty of scope to solve the problems before the players in a variety of ways.

Beta Maxxthulhu includes a new set of mechanics based upon "Fracture" and "Psychoses". Encountering the Weird risks fracturing your understanding of the world, it risks Fracturing the world you perceive, and if fractured badly enough the way your mind responds is to develop a Psychosis. While a psychosis may immediately seem like a harmful effect for a Character, it can have your character be the only one who can resolve the situation.

This book includes an unpolished edition of the game, as hinted by the "Ashcan Edition" edition name. So any feedback you have about the game would be greatly appreciated.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
