> [...] Edogawa Rampo, father of the Japanese detective genre, as their literary leader--his name is a play on Edgar Allen Poe, least you doubt his authority on western genre fiction. He introduced Lovecraft to the public in a list of essential weird tales, The Reader’s Guide to Horror Stories, in the June 1948 issue of Jewel, a mystery anthology he edited. Rampo's seal of approval was a passport for under-recognized western authors to find their foothold on Japanese soil. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror, In the Vault, The Music of Erich Zann, The Outsider and The Color Out of Space, as well as Lovecraft's key influences, Machen’s The Great God Pan and Blackwood’s The Willows, made the list of must-read titles. [...] The success of dungeon-crawl PC RPGS like Wizardry and Ultima made Japan hungry for fantasy. In 1983 computer gaming magazines answered the demand by introducing Dungeons & Dragons, the urtext of their beloved PC titles, and unwittingly caused a tabletop role-playing game boom. Tabletop and electronic gaming created a positive feedback loop of borrowed ideas and innovation. Garry Gygax’s Monster Manual laid the groundwork for Sakaguchi’s Final Fantasy. [...] Hobby Japan released Call of Cthulhu, Chaosium’s horror fiction tabletop role-playing game. The tome brought eldritch horror to a new audience accustomed to Tolkien-derived hack-and-slash style dice chucking. Gamers were quick to internalize the utterly alien worldview it presented. The Great Old Ones soon began to spill into other gaming-related media.
