Cthulhu-2300AD Crossover

[Bromo33333]

Was thinking of having players encournter one of the extraterrestrial species in H P Lovecraft, like the Mi-Go, Fungi from Yuggoth or Elder Things. Anyone try this?

I am currently doing something similar, though not with 2300. I am running a Mongoose v1 Traveller game using Chtonian Stars setting, which is a tl8/borderline 9 setting set entirely in our own solar system (oddly similar in ways to the series The Expanse) with Cthuloid elements on the rise due to the aforementioned Chtonian Star.

It's interesting, and so far a lot of fun.

This is the underlying theme of Golan2072's "Hard Space Redux" ATU.

The elevator pitch for Hard Space is:

Cyborg Smugglers Fight Cthulhu in Space!

In my gaming universe I have Cthulhu Cults as the main bad guys
sorta like the hidden hand of evil

The Elder Things are a great idea IMHO. At the Mountains of Madness/Traveller 2300, that might work pretty good. If you're keeping up with the Ancients of the Travellerverse, you can throw in some unsettling discoveries about pre-human history.

I wonder how a Quinn-Darlan PGMP fares against a Shoggoth ?
