The Apocalypse Machine is an interesting read and a fresh take on Lovecraftian gaming. The book is well-written and rather than simply saying "here's how the apocalypse happened" it offers up a number of possibilities using a system (i.e., the Apocalypse Machine) to help generate a meaningful and interesting back story and setting to make each apocalypse unique. While the PDF is clearly designed for use with the Trail of Cthulhu RPG, most of it is system-free and thus could be used with a variety of games including Apocalypse World.
