A Resection of Time is a short campaign for Call of Cthulhu set in the modern day. It begins in early April, in San Francisco, and ends a little later in the steamy jungles of Belize, in Central America. Before plunging into the dark heart of the ancient Mayan world, the investigators also travel to Los Angeles and shadowy Arkham.

The details of Mayan architecture, culture, epigraphy, and theology, as well as the experts on these topics named in the scenario, are all real, modified slightly where appropriate to incorporate the Mythos. Likewise, the places mentioned herein (save, of course, for the Sanboume Institute and Arkham), particularly the Belize locations, are real, although described for dramatic impact.

'''Campaigns:''' The two chapters in this book (Ek'Be: The Black Road and Ek'Way: The Black Portal) make up the short [[A Resection of Time (Campaign)]]. These sections aren't stand-alone scenarios, but rather parts of the overall campaign.

'''Additional:''' Narrative descriptions of player dreams, Player Handouts, Index

The Strange Case of Kyle Woodson: A Scenario

At first, the death of successful archaeologist Kyle Woodson seemed an accident, an automobile crash turned fatal. When certain medical
irregularities became apparent, and then the body was quickly cremated, the case became much more sinister to trained eyes.

In this adventure, the investigators are challenged by the strange case of Kyle Woodson. Inquiries will take them across the United States of the
1990s, from San Francisco, and the Sanbourne Institute of Pacific Antiquities near Los Angeles, to decaying modern Arkham. In the end, all
clues lead to ancient Mayan ruins, deep in Central America.

This 64-page scenario book can be played in two to three nights. It contains twenty-five handouts, many featuring genuine Mayan glyphs and annotated
translations. Artwork includes many thumbnails, several drawings of Mayan artifacts, and a number of beautiful gray-scale illustrations.

==Comments / Trivia==
Dedication: "This book is happily dedicated to Al Harris, who first pushed me into game design, to Fred Valdez, who opened
the world of the Maya to me, and to Fred Johnson, who never got to see it."

Originally titled "Fragments of Time" and written for Texi-Con '92. It was subsequently revised and presented at the Cthulhu Masters' Tournament
at GenCon '94, and revised further for publication.

The format of this book blurs the traditional boundaries between scenario and campaign -- it is relatively short, and the author suggests that it
may be completed in two to four sessions. But, its component parts aren't really stand-alone scenarios, and the overall flow of events has a
globe-trotting flavour typical of ''Call of Cthulhu'' campaigns.
