AOC 6 has been annouced for the end of the year.
It does look like an awesome addition to the setting and it would be interesting to delve into that era of Japan since this was the time of Japan colonial expension in Korea and China and I'm wondering if we'll get a mini 1920's Japan Gazetteer with it.

Re: Age of Cthulhu 6: A Dream of Japan
Sounds exciting, and I hope for a mini-gazateer as well because I don't feel like I "know" Japan as well as other settings.
Sounds dumb, but I feel like I could run a game in England or France or Germany even though I've never left the USA. I've seen enough movies, read enough books, picked up enough stereotypes over the years....
But with Japan I only have a vague sense of ninjas, samarai, and things like that. Heck, I may be blending more than one culture together and not know it.

Re: Age of Cthulhu 6: A Dream of Japan
Alright, so now it's 5 and 6 I'm interested in.
Just wish I had more player-interest in CoC...

Looks good, Joseph.
Looking forward to seeing both this and the next title on the shelves at my local friendly gaming shop.

Re: Age of Cthulhu 6: A Dream of Japan
I just bought my copy of AoC 6 - A Dream of Japan today. I'll read it this weekend. But just on the flip-through, it looks great.

Re: Age of Cthulhu 6: A Dream of Japan
Funny you should ask, Z-killer... stay tuned for an announcement later this year, (I believe), about Age of Cthulhu, volume 7!!! I won't say who the author is, but I have it on very good authority that he's a pretty swell guy.zombiekiller wrote:Just got in the mail and it looks great ... any plans for further Age of Cthulhu adventures?

Good to hear ... while I also am excited about DCC RPG I don't want to see Age of Cthulhu stopped as they are great!
