All copies of CoC book burned in China
Sons of the Singularity, a small publisher of RPGs, ran a Kickstarter last year for a Call of Cthulu sourcebook, successfully raising over $20,000. Called The Sassoon Files, it was finally printed last week, only for the publisher to claim that the Chinese government then stepped in and burned every copy.

Re: All copies of CoC book burned in China
This is a real situation that is apparently costing a small creator a large amount of money through no real fault of his own. I don’t think joking about the situation is in particularly good taste right now.

Re: All copies of CoC book burned in China
Well, that's bitterly ironic. We'd laugh at how ham-handed and counterproductive this is as an image control exercise if Sons of Singularity were not getting hit by the shrapnel.

Re: All copies of CoC book burned in China
I recall Paradox have had repeated issues with their games in China for accurate portrayals of history viz-a-viz the Chinese nation so it's credible at least. And a useful learning point when it comes to building your supply chain ...

Re: All copies of CoC book burned in China
Certainly moved it onto my radar, tho I may wait for the physical book to be available.
he initial quote was the first written account I could find -- didn't mean to imply doubt about the destruction of the books. And yes Quote:
