Modiphius Entertainment is an RPG and tabletop game publisher based in Fulham, London. Modiphius was founded in 2012 by husband-wife team Rita and Chris Birch to publish their first game Achtung! Cthulhu.[2] The company have since published a number of product lines based on independent licenses and established brands.
In 2013 the company raised £177,000 through Kickstarter to create Achtung! Cthulhu, a tabletop RPG set in the Second World War inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft.[3] The first series of adventures for Achtung! Cthulhu is called "Zero Point" with the first two chapters called Three Kings and Heroes of the Sea by Sarah Newton.[4] The game was well-received in the RPG community, and won several awards, including Best Roleplaying Game at the 2014 UK Games Expo.[5] In 2018 a videogame based on the franchise - called Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics - was released by Auroch Digital.[6]

Modiphius would also develop a Fallout tabletop RPG using their 2d20 system called Fallout the Roleplaying Game. The game would enter beta in 2019 with a projected release in 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fallout the Roleplaying Game would release digitally in March 2021, with a physical release in July the same year.[8]
