Stygian Fox is at it again, and despite my better judgement, this one is wildly tempting.
Occam's Razor is a collection of Cthulhu Modern scenarios with a big twist: each once has a mundane (but still probably horrifying) result.
Occam's Razor is a collection of modern scenarios by horror author and Call of Cthulhu stalwart Brian M. Sammons for Chaosium Inc's 7th edition Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. It has a dark tone, like most Stygian Fox titles, more akin to True Detective and American Horror Story and is written for Mature Gamers Only. The scenarios look into the dark heart of humanity and the mythos... but this book has a twist.
One of the problems long term Keepers can face when running Call of Cthulhu is their players becoming too jaded or blasé regarding the Cthulhu mythos.
"Oh, Deep Ones? Yeah, we've killed these before. Open fire."
Rather than; "Oh my God! They're real! Run!"
It's difficult to maintain that suspension of belief when you have been facing the same creatures year after year. This is where Occam's Razor comes in, being a collection of scenarios where initially they seem to be linked to the mythos but they have mundane causes and outcomes.

Stygian Fox has had some significant delays with their outstanding Kickstarters, but when they deliver, they are simply spectacular.
