Episode Notes

In this episode, we dissect and reanimate the scenario Tell Me, Have You Seen the Yellow Sign? originally written for Call of Cthulhu by Kevin A. Ross with special guest Zander, who ran this scenario for us using the Trail of Cthulhu system. We discuss the reanimations they made to innovate the scenario in their run, as well as other opportunities for GM advice.

Note: The patreon thanks shout-out is outdated compared to when we first recorded this discussion, but I kept it in for the chuckles as I floundered to make a joke.
