ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Roleplaying Game of Students in a School of Monsters and Mad Scientists

As a student at the prestigious H.P. Lovecraft Preparatory Academy, you’ll uncover conspiracies, deal with bullies and uncaring professors, explore dangerous steam tunnels, study for exams, escape from horrible monstrosities that humanity was never meant to see, and try to avoid an extended stay at Arkham Sanitarium. And that's just orientation week!

  • A semi-humorous RPG in the tradition of Saturday morning cartoons featuring mystery-busting kids…only the monsters are real. 
  • Features a detailed sandbox environment on the campus of a haunted New England boarding school. 
  • New Edges, Hindrances, and more to create a variety of students to create a diverse and interesting campus. 
  • Design your own faculty! Want Dr. Frankenstein to be the new Biology professor? No problem! 
  • Thanks to the medical breakthroughs developed by Dr. West in the school infirmary, your character can’t die…but sanity is another matter entirely. 
  • A section for Headmasters (the GM) with advice and mechanics for creating a variety of strange and exciting mysteries on school grounds.

This book contains the Savage Worlds edition of the game including alternate rules and mechanical adjustments. Fully compatible with the new SWADE version of Savage Worlds.

I'd really love to hear more about how this differs from ETU.

This differs from ETU in a few ways. HPL is for younger teenagers where ETU is for college. HPL's supernatural is Lovecraftian. Idk about the Savage Worlds version but the PDQ version has rules for a pretty good variety of different types of magic and gadgetry.

"This book contains an alternate Savage Worlds edition of the game. Everything you need to play the game using our own Pip System can be found in this book. "
This is a rather confusing sentence. Does this mean the book contains both rulesets?

I'm usually pretty anxious to buy just about any Savage Worlds book. But I usually exercise caution. You're right, sentences like that confuse me to.

From what i can read, alternate means some rules are adjusted to fit the setting. Everything else so far is clearly for SWAdE.

It was a typo that got through and it's been fixed. Yes, it's fully compatible with SWADE (which was actually part of why it's only coming out now lol). Cheers!

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
