It deserves a very positive review. The longer version: The story wasn't what I was expecting at all. It's well thought out, nicely written and will definitely be a challenge (I think it is verging on Pulp Cthulhu in places). It does have some familiar themes, but it adds a twist that makes them surprising. The adventure itself is well presented for an amateur production, the scene descriptions are well written (and frankly very welcome because I can sometimes struggle to set scenes and this wll help), and I particularly like the dreams listed in the appendix that will add an interesting dimension to the game." - RS.</p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/2/Chaosium/subcategory/74_29274/Miskatonic-Repository" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.chaosium.com/product_images/uploaded_images/uns-nov-3.png" alt="Unnatural Selections" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/447791/The-Art-of-Hygge" target="_blank">The Art of Hygge</a> (Poul Holmelund, $3.99 PDF)</p><p><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="1" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="2" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="3" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="4" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="5" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p>"This is a really interesting scenario, with the unique feature of a custom included Spotify playlist, including instructions on how to use it.

I also find the concept really interesting and not something I've seen before, both in set-up and in execution of the final mythos confrontation... It's a unique concept, a fun setting, and the story is very engaging.

The mix of horror and history just appeals to me. So I was very excited to finally see a title set in 1920s Japan, a time and place that has been begging for a great sourcebook... At 400 pages, this book is the ultimate resource for any Keeper thinking about taking their players to Japan or Asia. It may even be the ultimate resource for anyone who's ever been interested in pre-war Japan. Beautifully laid out, colorful and easy to navigate, this is something anyone thinking of running <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/masks-of-nyarlathotep-slipcase-set/" target="_blank">Masks of Nyarlathotep</a> or <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/the-children-of-fear-hardcover/" target="_blank">The Children of Fear</a> should absolutely pick up to flesh out Shanghai and East Asia. It could use a "standalone" scenario in the back, but with the three narrative threads and its already hefty 400 pages of great setting material, you'll get no complaints here. Great job!" - DF.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/442567/Signal-to-Noise--A-1980s-Analog-Horror-Scenario" target="_blank">Signal to Noise - A 1980s Analog Horror Scenario</a> (Colin Richards, $9.99 PDF)</p><p><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="1" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="2" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="3" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="4" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/themes/dtrpg/images/edge/icon_rate_on.png" alt="5" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p>"Fantastic scenario.

The way it’s written is excellent, it makes prep very straightforward and I really appreciated the multiple options for the second half so that I could edit in and out depending on time taken so far and players triggers. The first half was also very detailed and the author has done a great job of laying out the clues. 10/10." - OW.</p></blockquote><p></p>

The author's passion really shines through. The scenario is very cleanly laid out and easy to read and upon running it I discovered just how smoothly the scenario runs once it's going. A good one for those who love to get into character. Watch this author, I bet they have even bigger and better things on the horizon." - RK.

It deserves a very positive review. The longer version: The story wasn't what I was expecting at all. It's well thought out, nicely written and will definitely be a challenge (I think it is verging on Pulp Cthulhu in places). It does have some familiar themes, but it adds a twist that makes them surprising. The adventure itself is well presented for an amateur production, the scene descriptions are well written (and frankly very welcome because I can sometimes struggle to set scenes and this wll help), and I particularly like the dreams listed in the appendix that will add an interesting dimension to the game." - RS.

The investigation is laid out well, with clear steps to follow and plenty of interesting handouts. I also find the concept really interesting and not something I've seen before, both in set-up and in execution of the final mythos confrontation... It's a unique concept, a fun setting, and the story is very engaging. It'll provide an entertaining, and horrifying, one session game for your players.." - SH.

The mix of horror and history just appeals to me. So I was very excited to finally see a title set in 1920s Japan, a time and place that has been begging for a great sourcebook... At 400 pages, this book is the ultimate resource for any Keeper thinking about taking their players to Japan or Asia. It may even be the ultimate resource for anyone who's ever been interested in pre-war Japan. Beautifully laid out, colorful and easy to navigate, this is something anyone thinking of running [URL='https://www.chaosium.com/masks-of-nyarlathotep-slipcase-set/']Masks of Nyarlathotep[/URL] or [URL='https://www.chaosium.com/the-children-of-fear-hardcover/']The Children of Fear[/URL] should absolutely pick up to flesh out Shanghai and East Asia. It could use a "standalone" scenario in the back, but with the three narrative threads and its already hefty 400 pages of great setting material, you'll get no complaints here. Great job!" - DF.

Very creepy and engaging story, enhanced by some of the best handouts I’ve seen including videos that really set the scene for the scenario. The way it’s written is excellent, it makes prep very straightforward and I really appreciated the multiple options for the second half so that I could edit in and out depending on time taken so far and players triggers. The first half was also very detailed and the author has done a great job of laying out the clues. 10/10." - OW. [/QUOTE]
