Pokethulhu
Pokéthulhu, or more properly, the Pokéthulhu Adventure Game, is a parody of both the Pokémon Junior Adventure Game published by Wizards of the Coast, and of the Call of Cthulhu role playing game published by Chaosium.
The game is written and designed by S. John Ross and currently published (in its 3rd Edition) as a free game available from Cumberland Games and Diversions. The third addition includes some substantial additions to the game, including a large collection of fan-designed creatures, and an expanded card-based game system dependent on the ability of players to cite obscure trivia about a television show that doesn't actually exist. A small number of fan-authored websites also exist to support the game.
The two prior editions were published by Squishy Brain Games (in 2000) and by Dork Storm Publishing (in 2002). Each edition has featured illustrations by John Kovalic and additional contributions by Philip J. Reed.
