Project NEMESIS

The Black Stone is an item that Robert E. Howard writes about in several of his short stories, including the modern day tale "The Black Stone", a pseudo-Conan the Barbarian story called "People of the Dark" and "Worms of the Earth", A Bran Mac Morn short.  The stories, especially the first, are all very evocative.  I've written down here some ideas for using the Black Stone in CoC.  A lot of this article is just synopses of the stories, which really speak for themselves. Currently, all three stories are in print in the book _Cthulhu : The Mythos and Kindred Horrors_ (Baen, 1987). 

The television program, The X-Files, is an excellent source of ideas for the Call of Cthulhu Game (and the Nemesis game as well). To assist Keepers who would like to introduce plots or characters from the show I've written up the two leads, agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, and a set of story ideas. Most of the material for them is taken from the highly recommended book by Brian Lowry, _The Truth is Out There: The Official Guide to the X-Files._ It is a must for anyone planning to run a campaign X-File style. 

It never made sense to me how MAJESTIC could fail to make better use of such a tool, and its description never made sense to me either. The Cookbook seemed neat, but of an obvious subject. With enough patient study the workings of terrestrial or xeno-biologies would surely reveal all. The Report had no such obvious source. How could the Mi-Go possibly acquire all that information and so compactly present it? 

This is a precursory write-up of the partners of the law firm that administers the Gilchrist Trust.  Investigators will find both allies and enemies within its membership. 

Here is a plotline for Delta Green, set just after the Gulf War (although in theory it could be set anytime between then and yesterday). The adventure does not mention politics, nor the righteousness of the war; it is just a roleplaying adventure set around a situation many of us know about. I was heavily influenced by a recent _2000AD_ story which used djinns instead of fire vampires--I have merely adapted it for CoC.

After the debacle of Dunkirk, the British military rediscovered "shell-shock." This condition, thought after WWI to be cured by superior officer skills, was affecting a large number of troops evacuated from France. Facing imminent invasion by the Third Reich, Great Britain needed to return as many of these men to "fighting fitness" as possible. In desperate times, desperate measures were needed. Shell-shocked troops were admitted to civilian sanatoriums, and civilian psychiatrists had a free hand to experiment on large numbers of unwilling subjects.

Tinleg Munk (real name Thomas Matheson) was born in Watts, Los Angeles, in 1971. Thomas’ abusive father left when he was five, leaving his mother to care for him and his two sisters. Thomas grew up a hard man, and resorted to petty crime at an early age, but his natural wit and keenness of mind kept him out of trouble. After failing High School, he left and formed a rap collective, the Palm Grove Posse (named after the street where he lived) with some friends.
