“The Taos Hum” and Beyond
Just a quick, mid-month update.
The Taos Hum…
- All of the text laid out and Fal is working on the art for it. Once art and maps come back, Badger will get those placed and it will be sent off to Chaosium for their final approval.
- We’ve launched an internal investigation into the rumor that a draft of the manuscript was leaked to Diamond-level Patrons. As everyone knows, the spreading of Mythos Information is prohibited by Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 of the R’lyehian Edicts: “no person(s) may knowingly infect others with dreadful knowledge…”
…and Beyond
- The Landscapes of the Lost Soul was chosen by our Silver+ Patrons as the next book. Writing is done, editing is nearly there (just reworking one final section), and then it’ll be over to Badger within the week.
- The next Silver+ Patron poll will be held on June 1, to select which Call of Cthulhu scenario we work on next.
As always, any questions, concerns, or information on the source of the aforementioned Madness Breach is appreciated. Because if there was a breach, we will need to make some sacrifices.
Thank you,
Stygian Fox

The Things That Matter
If you’re a Stygian Fox Patron (thank you!), you probably have the 5 titles that we’ve contributed to this bundle. They are The Things We Leave Behind, Never Meet Again, The Thirteen, Autophagia, and Station S. But that’s not why we’re sharing this. We’re sharing this for the same reason we choose to contribute to the bundle:
We are a trans woman-founded, LGBTQIA+ friendly RPG publisher. These things matter to us. A lot.
For anyone who doesn’t know what’s up with Texas right now, the governor issued a directive two weeks back requiring doctors, nurses, and the like to report gender-affirming care for minors. Failure to do so could result in criminal penalties for those medical professionals, while doing so could result in criminal penalties for those children’s parents (as they may be arrested and prosecuted for child abuse). This is wrong. This is harmful.
And that’s why we’re asking, even if you already have the above-mentioned titles from us, click the link… there are 300 creators who contributed to the bundle that you can pick up for only $5. If you can’t buy it or don’t think any of the 493 titles in it would interest you, specifically, consider sharing the link (https://itch.io/b/1308/ttrpgs-for-trans-rights-in-texas) – it could mean the world to someone.
Thank you for reading.
Sneak Peek – “The Night Mother’s Moon”
Life on the streets is hard. The Homeless are invisible. New York City has almost one hundred thousand homeless. Each night they sleep in the city’s parks and subway system, invisible to the population who passes them every day. What better victims could one ask for?
This scenario is designed for 2–4 investigators and can be completed in one to two evenings of play, depending on the length of your sessions. In it, the players take on the roles of New York city’s street homeless as they come together to solve the mystery of something that is stalking and killing the members of their community.
When a relative newcomer to the streets turns up dead in a dumpster, her death is chalked up to just another example of street violence. The local homeless know better. Something is stalking them. Something no one has an explanation for. With nowhere else to turn, they must band together and save themselves before they become just another statistic.

Occam’s Razor
Brian M. Sammons presents seven Call of Cthulhu scenarios, all with mundane solutions…the simplest answer is usually the right answer. However, each also contains a Must-Have Mythos section that provides Mythos solutions to the investigation as well.
Seven Modern-Era Adventures of Mystery and Death
- A Whole Pack of Trouble – a group of film students have gone missing while shooting a found-footage style movie over college break.
- Eye of the Beholder – five days ago, a young woman disappeared while working on an art project.
- Frozen Footsteps – A Wendigo-obsessed professor heads off to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for some rare (for him) fieldwork and discovers far more than he bargained for.
- Dark and Deep – A snuff film is making the rounds in which a woman is mauled to death by a Deep One. Are the film’s establishing shots enough to track down the lighthouse was filmed at and get to the bottom of things?
- Visions from Beyond – A late-night voicemail left by a friend/relative in need of immediate help followed by them not answering their phone
- The Watchers – the investigators are contacted by a single woman who lives alone and is being watched by unknown people.
- A Cleansing Flame – Bodies are being discovered, burned to death, with no known fire starter/accelerant present.
These scenarios are supported by 8 handouts, 6 maps by Guillaume Tavernier, over 25 NPCs, and almost 10 monsters, a 7-page modern newspaper to mine for future scenario seeds (some of which reference past Stygian Fox titles, and 6 pre-generated investigators to get your group playing fast.
The Wild Hunt
The Wild Hunt is a Call of Cthulhu investigation of 13 nights across the Boston/New York/Massachusetts Backcountry, set in 1920. It can be moved to another time and place with a little work.
A Race Across the Northeastern US to Confound an Ancient, Imported Evil
The Wild Hunt is an ancient Celtic myth about a force that rampages through the countryside: killing evil-doers and causing havoc. But what if there is a certain truth behind it?
Breaking off from the main Irish rebel organisation, a splinter group has discovered a means of summoning the Wild Hunt to do their bidding and aid them in their criminal enterprise.
Except it has not gone to plan. Their binding knowledge is poor and the entities of the Wild Hunt strain against their bonds. The splinter group is holding a hungry tiger by the tail and can only keep the Hunt busy lest it turn on them. The investigators get involved after a few victims of the Hunt turn up, hinting at a supernatural killer. From there, the investigation bounces between Boston and New York (and even Arkham, for those so inclined), before heading out to the Massachusetts Backcountry and the politically-motivated cultists.
Can the rebel group be trusted?
Can the Investigators walk away and live with their decision?
Can the Wild Hunt be controlled? And by whom?
It is time for you to find out!
