Cohors Cthulu RPG: Germania
Though the long shadow of Rome has stretched far beyond its own borders, its reach has yet failed to cover all of Germania. Those untamed lands, filled with dark and forbidding forests, are still held by countless fiercely independent native tribes. Many have been forced to bend the knee before the banners of Rome, whilst others have fought bitterly to retain their ways of life—often fruitlessly.
But Germanic priests and sages tell tales of other forces lurking in these lands: darker shapes than marching legionaries move between the trees of those ancient forests, and rumors swirl in towns and villages of nightmares lurking beyond their walls.
Beyond the eyes of civilization, and known only to a select few, inexplicable monsters only whispered of in legend prowl, seeking to feast on the unwary. Fetid spawn of Mormo swarm and multiply in foul breeding sites, protected by sinister cults whose members are visited in dreams by creatures from beyond the stars. The immortal warrior-chieftain Herjan has gathered his forces to dominate the native Germanic tribes, his efforts fuelled by either enlightenment or madness born from Atlantean relics. As darkness looms and shadows gather, he schemes and plots to send his substantial military might against Rome.
Here, in this ancient and mysterious land, the Hidden Wars play out in full. Those brave heroes willing to confront the darkness will claim hidden knowledge and eternal glory—but terror, insanity, and doom await those who fail.

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.
This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.
OUR STANDARD
Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.
We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:
- CBCS Comic Grading Scale
- Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
- CGC grading standards
If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.
WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8
Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.
A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.
We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.
WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4
Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:
Bindery characteristics:
- Minor to moderate corner tears
- White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
- Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)
Printing characteristics:
- Slight color rub on back covers
- Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
- Wavy paper texture from the printing process
Spine characteristics:
- 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
- Minor non-color-breaking spine dings
These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.
OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY
We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.
We will replace or refund:
- Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
- Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
- Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped
For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
