GURPS Fate of Cthulhu

[namada]

I just ran across this kickstarter and this "complete rpg," as they call it, sounds like something that could make for a fun GURPS campaign, so how to do it?

Probably:
GURPS Basic Set
GURPS Horror (for the expanded fear mechanics)
GURPS Cthulhupunk (for the monsters)
GURPS After the End (for the templates, just add an additional +150 CP?)

Since I got zero replies, I just thought I'd add the bit I found interesting as a campaign premise, in case folks were simply not willing to click & read...
[Quoted from link:]

The idea for Fate of Cthulhu started with a simple question: what if Cthulhu operated like Skynet? In this game you'll face down Mythos-style threats with Terminator-style action and adventure, whether as a present-day Sarah Connor type, or an agent from the future already facing the creeping effects of corruption. This is Lovecraftian roleplaying made new again, with time-traveling operatives from a future apocalypse journeying back to the present day to warn others of the coming danger (and recruit them) to try to set the timeline on a new and hopefully better course.

Not something I'd pay for in a "complete rpg," especially not a FATE-based one (personal bias,) but that's something I could see paying SJG for, if the premise had been worked out as a whole campaign for GURPS instead. Even if I'd never run that hypothetical campaign, some material would have seen use at my table.

It's a potentially interesting premise. I could see some sort of mini-setting supplement being created for the Monster Hunters line to facilitate such a thing (though for obvious reasons it wouldn't strictly be Cthulhu-related).

Looks like it might be fun to convert over.

Yeah, the first time I posted, I thought I'd read this was set in the future, during the ongoing apocalypse caused by Lovecraftian Horrors, which was really cool to me, and why I suggested using After the End as a base. You're right though, I think, Monster Hunters would be a better base for this set in modern times, as the kickstarter actually describes - for me though, this lost a lot of appeal when I read it right, the second time. ;)

Also, isn't Lovecraft's work Public Domain, allowing anyone to publish anything on Lovecraftian Horror or even Cthulhu Mythos?
