Games edit

Achtung! Cthulhu edit

In 2013 the company raised £177,000 through Kickstarter to create Achtung! Cthulhu, a tabletop RPG set in the Second World War inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft.[3] The first series of adventures for Achtung! Cthulhu is called "Zero Point," with the first two chapters called "Three Kings" and "Heroes of the Sea" by Sarah Newton.[4] The game was well-received in the RPG community, and won several awards, including Best Roleplaying Game at the 2014 UK Games Expo.[5] In 2018 a videogame based on the franchise - called Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics - was released by Auroch Digital.[6]

Mutant Chronicles edit

In 2013 Modiphius released the 3rd edition of popular post-apocalyptic RPG Mutant Chronicles.

Fallout edit

In 2017 the company acquired the license for Bethesda property Fallout and in 2018 released Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, a tabletop wargame featuring characters and settings from the videogame series.[7] The company announced in 2019 that they would be working on an RPG expansion to Fallout: Wasteland Warfare to be released in the same year.

Modiphius would also develop a Fallout tabletop RPG using their 2d20 system called Fallout the Roleplaying Game. The game would enter beta in 2019 with a projected release in 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fallout the Roleplaying Game would release digitally in March 2021, with a physical release in July the same year.[8]
