Dave Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 To fellow Keepers who desire more historical background for the Shanghai portion of Masks of Nyarlathotep, I recommend Laszlo Montgomery's China History Podcast (https://teacup.media/ and also available at iTunes). Much of what I know about 20th Century China comes from, or was reinforced by, this delightful series. Reading the new version of the China chapter also brought to mind Taras Grescoe's Shanghai Grand. It'll be more useful to those playing in the 30s, but it's full of wonderful real-life characters and anecdotes you might be able to fold into your games. Who else can recommend some historical references? Bonus Sanity for suggesting resources in audio format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10baseT Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 i'll have to check out that podcast, thanks. I read 'The Good Earth' by Pearl S. Buck and it was great insight into Chinese village life/culture, etc., circa WW1. Just good info overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
