Encounter the King in Yellow in 1980s Japan
Forgotten for centuries, the Sutra of Pale Leaves has resurfaced in 1980s Japan—a time of excess, conspicuous consumption, and enormous technological changes. This "Call of Cthulhu" supplement introduces an all-new setting where generational conflict, thriving yakuza, and a war between tradition and modernity create fertile ground for ancient horrors.
This hardcover book, "Twin Suns Rising," is the first part of "The Sutra of Pale Leaves" campaign. It provides a comprehensive guide to 1980s Japan and a reimagined King in Yellow, who offers help at the cost of your mind and soul. The book details the insidious Sutra, the cults surrounding it, and a host of new Mythos monsters. It is designed for use with the "Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook" and can be optionally used with "Pulp Cthulhu."
