Gamebook Friday: Shakespeare Vs. Cthulhu

The crowdfunding campaign to fund Shakespeare Vs. Cthulhu: What Dreams May Come concluded one year ago today. Thanks to Stretch Goal #1 being unlocked during the campaign, everyone who has backed to receive a physical copy of the book will also receive a pack of five postcards featuring Heraldo Mussolini's artwork.

If you visit Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, you can pick up postcards featuring extracts from the 1623 First Folio edition of Shakespeare's works enhanced by woodcut images printed from original blocks by Louisa Hare

Louisa Hare's First Folio postcards.

I wanted to pay homage to the First Folio postcards in Shakespeare Vs. Cthulhu: What Dreams May Come, and so Heraldo has produced a stylised woodcut illustration for each Act of the adventure, and it is these images that will be printed on the five postcards. Here's the one for Act 3 - Full Fathom Five.

Full Fathom Five, by Heraldo Mussolini.

If you would like to place a Late Pledge to Shakespeare Vs. Cthulhu: What Dreams May Come, there's still time - but you only have until the end of the month to do so!
