What the Critics Say about The Sutra of Pale Leaves
- “Has Chaosium finally created the next Masks of Nyarlathotep? Twin Suns Rising stands out from most Call of Cthulhu scenario collections for two reasons: It’s not based in the 1920s-30s, and it is based in Japan, which loves Call of Cthulhu more than Western audiences.” - TTRPG Insider.
- “Ultimately, The Sutra of Pale Leaves: Twin Suns Rising represents one of the most sophisticated and daring experiences ever published for Call of Cthulhu… It is a campaign for those seeking something new: a horror that deals with culture, language, memory, identity, and alienation, and that uses roleplaying as a means to explore the fragility of reality.” - Serial Gamer.
- “It’s smart, daring, atmospheric as hell, and surprisingly respectful. Even if I’m not the core target audience, I’d play this in a heartbeat—and I totally want to run at least one of these scenarios just to see how my table reacts when reality starts to crack. P.S. …And yeah, there’s a strong showing of Japanese and Japanese-American voices across both the writing and the art, including playtesters. This isn’t some outsider take on Japan—it’s clearly a collaboration with love, weirdness, and horror stitched into every page.” - Zenith Comics Presents.
- “An original product that uses the theme of the King in Yellow's sinister influence in a highly effective and original way, placing it in a setting unfamiliar to the Western Call of Cthulhu audience… and therefore highly evocative.” - DM Magazine.
