Mythos Japan
Call of Cthulhu material from Japan
In Japan the tabletop roleplaying game "Call of Cthulhu" is known as 「Cthulhu Mythos TRPG」 and not only is it the biggest TRPG in Japan, sales of the Japanese edition far outstrip sales numbers in the west. This means there's a whole wealth of material produced for the game in Japan we never see in English. I'm hoping to bring some of that to English speaking audiences, to enjoy how this great game is enjoyed through a different cultural lens.
