Midday at KaijuCon 2 in Nagoya. The main hall is full of tables, the vendors have everything from early modern Japanese miniatures to spinning dice, and Jesse is holding down the shirt table🐙(Tomomi)

1/ Spent Sunday at Game Market in Tokyo, Japan's big analog game fair, helping out at a booth and explaining board games. I also lost a fight with Koro, the fair's mascot: the dog from the Momotaro folktale, crossed with a die🐙(Tomomi)
KaijuCon 2 is this Saturday, 24 October, in Nagoya. Both of Royce Wilson's tables are full, and so are several others, but there are still open seats in English and Japanese, including Masks of Nyarlathotep: Horror in the Hammam. Online tickets close on Thursday🐙(Tomomi) kaijucon.org

Royce Wilson, one of our special guests at KaijuCon 2, now has a second table. The Lightless Beacon: it is 1926, and the investigators wash up on a desolate island. Saturday 24 October, 6 to 9pm in Nagoya. English, beginners welcome. One seat left, and his first table, Resort, is full🐙(Tomomi)
The Lightless Beacon (Call of Cthulhu)
It is 1926 and the characters find themselves shipwrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Massachusetts. There's a storm coming and the island's lighthouse has stopped working - why? Time to inv

First mockup of the character sheets I will be providing at @singularitysons.bsky.social and @tokyorpgsociety.bsky.social 's Kaijucon in Nagoya this year for my Call of Cthulhu scenario, Terminal 4. I still have 2 seats left if you want to play!
I went to see Minions & Monsters expecting a light summer cartoon. I walked out clutching the programme and thinking about Lovecraft. (In Japan, cinemas still sell printed programmes for new films. I collect them.)🐙(T)
The KaijuCon 2 T-shirt is real. Kasumi Lang's artwork, worn here by organizer Jesse Covner. On sale at the venue in Nagoya on 24 October. If you are in Japan that weekend, come and play🐙(Tomomi)
Noob Day happened. Eleven people came to Second Home in Nagoya on Sunday, most of them trying a tabletop RPG for the first time, and played one long D&D game and two sessions of Call of Cthulhu. Tables in English and Japanese. The next one is the convention itself, 24 October🐙(Tomomi)

Doing some prep work for my site and my game at @singularitysons.bsky.social's Kaijucon next month in Nagoya. And also inspiring some conspiracies apparently. Anything on my desk is fair game for notes. Not like.. any of the notebooks I have in my office. Lol. Joys of being a writer.
Two weeks to Noob Day. Sunday 13 September, 1:00 to 5:30pm at Second Home in Sakae, Nagoya. A free afternoon for absolute beginners. Tables in English and Japanese, no experience needed, twenty places. Email kaiju.convention@gmail.com to grab one🐙(Tomomi)
When I was young, the scariest manga on my shelf had no ghosts and no killers. It was about ancient things under the soil of Japan, patiently waiting. Daijiro Morohoshi taught me that history itself can be a horror story🐙(Tomomi)
Chaosium's MOB sat down with Mexican horror site Círculo Lovecraftiano, and was asked a question he's never been asked before – interview available in Spanish and English!

I recently finished #Metaphor ReFantazio, which was on my to-do list for 2 years. The themes of discrimination, injustice, turning anxiety into strength-- Considering everything happening in the world (even in my adopted home of Japan), it was just what I needed.
Our huge table in the NecronomiCon vendor hall with TEN Cthulhu RPG publishers! @baytalazif.bsky.social @cthulhureborn.bsky.social Geekach @nightfall.games @sentinelhillpress.bsky.social @singularitysons.bsky.social @sixtystonepress.co.uk @stygianfoxpub.bsky.social @symphonyhorror.bsky.social
If you’re in Nagoya and have ever thought about trying a tabletop RPG but never, we're running a free introduction on Sunday 13 September, 1 to 5.30pm, at Second Home in Sakae.🗣E/J 20 tables, no experience needed. Just order a drink from the cafe while you play. ✉kaiju.convention@gmail.com🐙(Tomomi)
In English-language fandom, August Derleth is the man who ruined Lovecraft. In Japan he is a foundational author, translated in full and widely read. Both are true, and the gap between them is the most interesting thing about him. A thread🐙(Tomomi)
Ultraman has fought Cthulhu Mythos gods, and it was entirely deliberate. The final boss of Ultraman Tiga (1996) is Gatanothoa, lifted from the Mythos. Ultraman Gaia has byakhee. Ultraman Nexus has one simply called Cthulhu. A thread🐙(Tomomi)
A generous review of Twin Suns Rising from Reviews from R'lyeh. The part that pleased me most: he credits the book's authenticity and sense of place to it being co-written by people who actually live in Japan. That is the whole point, and someone noticed🐙(Tomomi)

The Sinners director is rebooting The X-Files, and promising proper monster-of-the-week episodes. Good timing to notice how Lovecraftian the original was: Topps comics opening with the "correlated contents" quote, Mulder and Scully at Miskatonic University. Mythos in a trench coat🐙(Tomomi)
If you play Call of Cthulhu, Japan has a manga that reads like a campaign you wish you were in. Yokai Hunter by Daijiro Morohoshi, from 1974: a folklorist, Reijiro Hieda, digs into old rituals and buried history, and keeps unearthing things that should have stayed buried. A thread🐙(Tomomi)
