Interesting! Is there anything canon from the fiction that says the Voormis were devolved humans from Hyperborea? I thought that was thought to be Greenland.

In his story 'Out of Aeons' he wrote: "that to which legend has given the name of Mu, and which old tablets in the primal Naacal tongue speak of as flourishing 200,000 years ago, when Europe harboured only hybrid entities, and lost Hyperborea knew the nameless worship of black amorphous Tsathoggua."

That "hybrid entities" suggests something associated with, but not human, maybe. The Serpent People in Valusia encompassed part of southern Europe, so maybe an offshoot of them?

The Little People are supposed to be the offspring of the human Viburnia and Ghoth the Burrower, but that's supposed to be just Wales.

I'm fairly certain there's nothing canon, but it would be interesting to find anything specific nonetheless.

Deep cut research needed! Does anyone know what species lived in Europe during the time of Hyperborea? The fandom wiki says: "200,000 years ago, the human kingdom in Mu reaches its height, while Europe is inhabited by "hybrid entities" and Hyperborea is home to the cult of Tsathoggua." I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. Obviously happy to make it up, but going HPL canon would be nice!

Thanks Tom! I’m happy you like it. Finding a good balance between simplicity and rich playability took a while, but I hope Comae Engine brings something new to the table. 

Some interesting projects are coming along. The first update of the rulebook will clear up most of the small mistakes and the solo rules are next up. After that, at least two more titles are being planned. 

One of my passions is to find a light d100 lingua franca rules set that can do for the BRP community what the D&D OGL did for the OSR. Say what you like about them, but they're massively creative.

Of course it's easier to create a dungeon with things to fight than it is to create a cosmic horror investigation for CoC or similar, but I've long felt the right rules set would help bring that about. Cthulhu Eternal is great, but still too crunchy for my preferences and goals.

Are you planning anything cosmic horror related?

Will you be open to others using it to create their own projects?

I'm a professional editor, so if you need any help, gratis, do let me know.

Bought and read it yesterday. Love it! I've wanted a decent rules-light d100 system for ages. You've done a great job. Looking forward to what else you do with it!
