This site is an online support for Chaosium's Secrets of Kenya written by David Conyers, a 1920s sourcebook for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game . The site will contain scenario seeds, handouts for the four scenarios that appear in the book, historical maps and photographs, and links various sources on the web to aid and enhance Call of Cthulhu campaigns set in British East Africa.
If you have comments, suggestions, would like to contribute an article to this site, or would like your own Secrets of Kenya site linked from this one, please e-mail david_conyers2000@yahoo.com.au. I am keen to get more Sinister Seeds, so if you have them, please send them through.
Note to Players: this site predominately contains information for KEEPERS ONLY, to support their own Secrets of Kenya games. Thus the site contains SPOLIERS which can deteriorate from players' enjoyment of the game if they read some of the material found here. Pages that are safe for players to look at are this page, the Overview page, the Artwork page, the Investigators page and the Web Links page.
