  In this episode Seth and Jon take a closer look at The Year of the Goat , a massive anthology of twelve Call of Cthulhu scenarios in a variety of time periods. Today we're talking to Antonio Marchena , Matt "Doc" Tracy , and Evan Perlman . Antonio Marchena's very first published scenario is THE HOUSE OF FLESH , a modern scenario that emulates the kinds of horrors seen in movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The House of 1000 Corpses . Doc Tracy authored MOTHER, MAIDEN, CRONE , a scenario of difficult choices set in the 90's. Evan Perlman partnered with Heinrich Moore as a Project Manager on this amazing and ambitious project.
