Call of Cthulhu: The Sutra of Pale Leaves - Twin Suns Rising

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Encountering the King in Yellow in 1980s Japan

We exist without ever knowing
If this world
Is a dream or reality,
Reality or a dream.

Kokin Wakashū, Volume 18, Misc. Poems
“No. 942,” anonymous

King in Yellow

Forgotten for centuries, the Sutra of Pale Leaves has resurfaced in 1980s Japan—a time of excess, conspicuous consumption, and enormous technological changes.

An All New Setting

City in Neon

This Call of Cthulhu supplement takes you to the Japan of the 1980s. It is a time when the generations are at odds, yakuza gangs are thriving, and the traditional world is at war with modernity. Ancient creeds, gods, and spirits vie to keep their toe-hold in this new world of capitalist opportunity—and overworked and overwhelmed humans turn in desperation to spiritual organizations that promise release and new meaning. This is a world that needs the Prince of Pale Leaves—and he answers the call.

Temple

The King in Yellow Reimagined

King in Yellow

While Call of Cthulhu is home to many entities who inflict nothing but destruction and suffering, The King in Yellow—in his guise as the Prince of Pale Leaves—is different. He is here to help. Those who cry out to him lose their minds and souls, but it will be far worse for the rest of us. This book also includes a comprehensive guide to the Sutra of Pale Leaves itself, covering the insidious effects of the text, the cults associated with the Yellow King, and an array of new Mythos monsters for use in any Call of Cthulhu game.

Centepede

Three New Scenarios

The book contains three all-new scenarios that are suited to stand-alone play, or strung together as part of a larger campaign set in 1980s Japan.

Dream Eater

Dream Eater

The investigators are called to a district in Ikaruga town after cases of sleep paralysis, lethargy, and depression skyrocket—and all cases reportedly include visions of the same strange creature.

Fanfic!

Manga Cover

When the inspiration behind an upcoming action manga is proved to have nefarious origins, the investigators must intervene before widespread publication causes unparalleled damage to reality.

The Pallid Masks of Tokyo

Fleeing the Cabin

The corpse of a gang member is discovered in Shinjuku—but its face is devoid of all features. The investigators are drawn into the mystery and must attempt to find the source of, and stop, a rash of faceless gangsters across the city.

The Sutra of Pale Leaves - Two Suns Rising is designed for use with the Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook, and optionally with Pulp Cthulhu.

Is it possible to print this without the garish "parchment" background which renders unreadable contrast and would consume half a toner (or ink) cartridge?

In other words: is this a layered pdf with a removable background, or can you provide a "print friendly" version?

According to the fan review linked below this is part one of a twopart campaign.
The fan also states that this publishers are Sons of the Singularity and Chaosium, not Chaosium alone.
Please explain.
Is that why you do not offer a preview?

Chaosium is the publisher. The Sutra of Pale Leaves was written and produced by The Sons of Singularity in collaboration with Chaosium. You can see everyone involved in the credits on page 3 of the preview.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
