This sounds really cool to me! I do have some plans to do supplements that flesh out the existing cults, but nothing in this style or on this scale. I like that it makes the gameplay a little more overtly factional. It's an interesting dynamic for the game.

4 out of 6 idea for Cthork Borg supplment are from Pulp Media, or Media inspired by Pulp.
Age of Mythic Twilight is clearly inspired by the Hyborian Age of Robert E. Howard, mix with some Lord of the Ring, and various mythology about ancient civilization.
Wild and Wylder Thing is from Renowed Explorer and Curious Expedition, which are very Pulp inspired, the latter more weird, while the former more action packed. And also Tarzan.
