Book cover. Entitled Cthulhu Hack: Conditions. Mainly shades of green. A white silhouette of a falling figure, losing its hat, plunging toward a bed of writing tentacles.
Chapter front page. Entitled Conditions. Narrow half-page image of a bestial ghoul creeping through a cemetery, fangs crimson with blood. The page includes a quote from the short story In The Vault, by Howard Lovecraft—"He could not walk... as he dragged his bleeding ankles toward the cemetery lodge... his body responding with that maddening slowness from which one suffers when chased by the phantoms of nightmare."
A page of text listing Conditions—Entranced, Ethereal, Exhilarated, Exposed, Fatigued, Frenzied, Frightened. A hooded figure in the lower right corner grimaces and seems to weave a shape with clawed fingers.
I'm working on a brief supplement for Cthulhu Hack that focuses on Conditions—including three dozen examples. It includes a general discussion about how Conditions are applied and invoked in play for the GM's benefit and the investigators' detriment!
