The Lovecraft Boat has been launched!

The Game: The Love Boat meets Octodad

You are monsters and have eaten the crew of a cruise ship (except for the clueless assistant waiter Steve). Now the passengers have boarded and the ship is on its way. To keep your existence a secret, you have to take over the crew jobs despite having neither the education nor the anatomy for that...

The Lovecraft Boat is a rules-light, story-centered one-shot TTRPG for 3-6 players and 1 GM. It's suitable for newbies and experienced players alike.


The Rules

After creating your characters together and choosing a few details of your cruise ship (random roll tables provide inspiration), you can immediately start playing.

The GM can create your adventure and the passengers on the cruise ship with support from the random roll tables, or they can make up something themself. For example:

During a fashion show, nosy seniors want to repair the sonar device, which would lead to a hungry deity devouring the Earth.

You play together to find out what happens. For risky actions, players roll a small pool of D6 to find out if everything works as intended or if further complications come into play.

The PDF

  • 8 pages in DIN-long format (99 x 210 mm / 3.9 x 8.3 inches)
  • 2 different layouts (2 pages for monitors in landscape format, 4 pages for smaller screens and for DIY printing)
  • Screenreader-ready with tags, image descriptions, and clickable links
