Inspired by Mike Mignola's Hellboy comics and the perennial stories of the German Ahnenerbe in popular media as a prominent WWII occult baddie, I've toyed with the idea of a race against the Nazis as an RPG campaign. Delta Green's historical fiction led me planning to race the players against the Ahnenerbe in a race to Atlantis, and a race to keep sleeping Cthulhu awake. I even started converting weapons that were popular in the '40s, but ultimately, I scrapped the project due to lack of player interest. Achtung! Cthulhu has now beat me to the punch, and done (presumably) the majority of the legwork both for converting the '40s into BRP rules and documenting a race for Atlantis.
The optimal price point appears to be 35 pounds ($46), at which point you get the Investigator and Keeper Guides, a setting guidebook for each front of the war, two full campaigns, props, and other miscellany in PDF format. However, it's tempting to go up to 40 pounds+5 pound shipping (or around 65) to get the two guides in hardback and the rest in PDF. The Kickstarter ends Tuesday, and here's a link for it.
