YMMV / CthulhuTech

---

• Fridge Brilliance: Why is it called the Aeon War?
  "That is not dead which can eternal lie
  And with strange aeons even death may die"
• Overshadowed by Controversy: Supplement Damnation View is best known for two things: blatant railroading in the plot (up to and including the GM being told to never let the players win) and a segment where the PCs have to infiltrate a sex cult of Funny Animals.
• Sliding Scale of Social Satisfaction: Categorized as "Outside is Burning, Inside is Safe". Life in the Arcologies is quite good because of the fact they are safe heavens in a ravaged world and thanks to archanotech that provides advanced healthcare which includes psychiatric care for essential workers. Alas, there's Aeon War on the outside and while the government is the only thing protecting humanity from cosmic horrors, it's a Police State.
• Squick: There is an awful lot of references to rape (anything from the Old Ones having "rape camps" up to a gadget on one of the equipment sections (used by the bad guys, mind) that steals energy for a magical artifact charging out of people (via being, essentially, a rape machine). It got so bad that one of the explicitly mentioned changes done for the game's Second Edition is that it will cut down on these references.
  • Also, the NEG's sexual mores are given an uncomfortable, juvenile amount of attention. This results in fluff telling readers that people in the NEG tend to start having sex at around twelve or so.
