Call Of Cthulhu RPG Sutra Of Pale Leaves Twin Suns Rising

The Sutra of Pale Leaves – Twin Suns Rising is a hardcover supplement for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition set in 1980s Japan — a period of economic excess, rapid modernisation, and widening generational fracture. A long-forgotten sacred text has resurfaced, and with it something ancient and deeply unwelcome. This is Volume 1 of a two-book series; Volume 2 is The Sutra of Pale Leaves – Carcosa Manifest.

The book opens with an extensive setting guide covering late-1980s and early-1990s Japan during the so-called bubble period: daily life, popular culture (TV, music, manga), organised crime, and the spiritual vacuum that drew desperate people toward movements promising meaning and release. Against this backdrop, the entity known in Western Mythos tradition as The King in Yellow appears in a new guise — the Prince of Pale Leaves. Unlike many Mythos forces defined purely by obliteration, he presents himself as a helper. That is precisely what makes him dangerous. The supplement also provides a comprehensive guide to the Sutra itself, detailing the insidious effects of the text, the cults that have formed around the Yellow King, and a range of new Mythos monsters suitable for use in any Call of Cthulhu game.

The second half of the book contains three linked investigations, which can be run independently or chained into a campaign. One scenario places the investigators in Ikaruga town, where an alarming spike in cases of sleep paralysis, lethargy, and depression is accompanied by consistent reports of the same strange creature in victims' visions. The supplement is designed for 3–6 players, requires the Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook, and is optionally compatible with Pulp Cthulhu.
