The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.266: Iot Sotot - The Eternal Edition





A while back, the folks from yog-sothoth.com released the first issue of their Call of Cthulhu rpg zine ,Iot Sotot; that first issue was designed to fit within Lovecaft-branded leather notebooks which yog-sothoth.com had produced especially for the website. The small format of the zine, it turns out, was not a viable option in the long term; as a consequence, Iot Sotot is now going to be released in a radically new format - a format also compatible with a new kind of notebook which the folks at yog-sothoth.com have just released, and which allows for a remarkable degree of customisability. Using a set of plastic or metal rings, the Iot Sotot Eternal Edition notebook enables the user to add physical content in the form of notepaper, graph paper, maps, folders, bookmarks, and other paraphenalia, in any order they please.

My copy of the journal arrived yesterday, with sheaths of plain and lined notepaper with a rather nice Lovecraft silhouette motif on the corner, along with reproduction maps of London from the 1920s and 30s, a gazatteer of strange places in 1930s Britain, a Cthulhu bookmark, play aids for the Call of Cthulhu rpg, and a plethora of other stuff (including the Fungi from Yuggoth sonnet cycle), all of which can be inserted into the journal according to my specifc organisational needs; later issues of Iot Sotot will also be produced as similar inserts. I have to say that this is the most excited I have been about stationary since acquiring my Midori notebook!

The Iot Sotot Eternal Edition notebook can be purchased here.

This is not just nice. This is Very Nice.
