Matt Ryan Interview

Modern Mythos with Jon & Seth

Sponsor:

We want to thank authors David Trotti and Amy Kate Connolly for sponsoring this episode. They are the authors of the absolutely amazing, Japan: Empire of Shadows, the definitive sourcebook for roleplaying in Imperial Japan during the late Taisho and early Showa eras (1920 - 1932).

Japan: Empire of Shadows provides single-session story hooks and multi-session narrative threads, and it includes information to play either as foreign investigators or as Japanese investigators. The 400 page book includes 334 unique locations, 35 full color maps, over 70 NPCs, 20 player handouts, 6 pre-generated investigators, new spells, new Mythos tomes, new monsters, a concise history of the island nation, the Japanese people, and so much more. Japan: Empire of Shadow has achieved Platinum Level sales on DriveThruRPG. And it’s clear, with every page, that David and Amy took meticulous care to create an unparalleled sourcebook for the Call of Cthulhu game.

We also want to take this moment to remember that Amy and David lost their home in the LA wildfires. In addition to buying their amazing sourcebook of Japan, please consider sending a donation to the American Red Cross.
