A new and promising Cthulhu-RPG (primarily Call of Cthulhu and Trail of Cthulhu) fanzine chock full of interesting scenarios, interviews, reviews, and articles pertaining to gaming Yog-Sothothery. The Keeper will find scenarios with settings near and far, in eras ranging from the 8th Century to the modern day; the grognard will find several short but charming essays on vintage RPG products; and players and Keepers alike will find several pieces on how to improve play. As if that wasn't enough of a satisfying buffet, those interested in peeking behind curtains will find interviews with industry contributors and authors. Illustrations and layout are lovely and easy on the eyes, and the PDF edition is generously bookmarked, making it easy to quickly find not just the article one was looking for, but to quickly access relevant pages within each scenario.
One wonders how the editors and publisher can possibly follow up such a nearly-perfect production, at the same time eagerly awaiting issue #2. Mostly the latter.
