  1. Álex de la Iglesia pioneered The Call of Cthulhu in Spain, a player before there was a Spanish translation, founder of a role-playing club ("Los pelotas") in the eighties, and even wrote several adventures. In fact, in the next few weeks, "The macabre joke" will be published in Spain (taking advantage of the success of the series), which is announced as a kind of prequel for "Masks of Nyarlathotep": http://www.edgeent.com/juegos/articulo/la_llamada_de_cthulhu/la_broma_macabra Many of his films are clearly influenced by the adventures of CoC, especially by his completely mad endings (although he is often criticized, perhaps not without reason, that he does not know how to finish his plots well). Some of them are very close to the campaigns of the game "Witching & Bitching" (2013, originally "The witches of Zugarramurdi"), especially a Spanish classic from the 90s, "The Day of the Beast" (1995) (three unlikely researchers, an illusionist-television showman, a conservative catholic priest and a histrionic heavy, seek to save the world from an apocalyptic prophecy while losing a lot of sanity), all of them with a very extreme and peculiar sense of humor. They may not be very great movies (some are better than others, I love very much "The day of the beast"), but if there is a director adored by spanish role players, especially by CoC fans, it is Álex de la Iglesia.

    Mediterraneo Mitico

    In the age of the campaign the Judean Peoples Front is quite right! Rome wasn't a great power in that time, even it doesn't rule over all Italy. The time of "Mediterráneo Mítico" is a very interesting time, because there are a lot of cultures, very different cultures for playing: barbarian scythes or iberians, o civilised greeks. Persian and carthaginians have an empire, but the don't rule all the Mediterranean Sea. There are greek colonies and foreign cults (i love the carthaginian adoration of Moloch, a dark cult). The first adventure is set in Sicily, in that time a greek land. Then Egypt, then looking for the legendary Tharsis... Maybe the staff of Runa Digital could make an english version. They translated the RQ6 to spanish.

    Mediterraneo Mitico

    Hi, I'm a fan of RQ, CoC and BRP from Spain. My english conversation isn't enough fine, but I can read it quite well. It's in spanish, indeed. Mediterráneo Mítico is a setting by the editor of the spanish version of RQ6. Mythic Mediterrnean, but lots of history too. Year 350. b.C. Cultures: Scythians, Celts, Carthaginians, Nubians, Egyptians, Persians, Iberians, Greeks, Romans. Cults/brotherhoods like Homoioi, Wizards of Heliopolis, Inmortals, etc. The campaign is named "Destiny of Atlantis". . http://runadigital.es/tienda/es/runequest/11-mediterraneo-mitico-pdf.html
