"Amazingly Ignorant Planet Stories"

No. This is not a knock on Paizo's efforts. Note the quotation marks.

I came across the following passage while reading Tales Out of Innsmouth from Chaosium -

"Then one day at an estate sale near my home in West Hills, I picked up a ratty copy of an obscure 1940's pulp called 'Amazingly Ignorant Planet Stories' (later shortened to 'Ignorant Planets')."

The passage comes from the short story "It Was the Day of the Deep One," reprinted in Tales Out of Innsmouth (2006) from Midnight Shambler No. 5 (1997). It is humorous Mythos fiction, as the named periodical is certainly.

I was struck funny by the coincidental name elements. It seems Paizo has a humorously dubious doppleganger in Mythos fiction.

Fnord! I mean, Fhtagn! ;-D
