Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.

abets Great Race visitors. In exchange, the visitors share technological and
magical knowledge”. Call of Cthulhu, Edition 5.6
The International Order Of Librarians (IOOL) is
one of the less sinister organisations to be involved with the Mythos, but
that’s starting from a very low basis of comparison.
How bad it gets, you can't imagine
The burning wax, the breath of reptiles
God is not mocked, he knows our business
Karma could take us at any moment
Cover him up... I think we're finished
You know it's never been so exotic
But I don't know, my dreams are vicious
We could still end up with the great big fishes
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
We feel like Greeks, we feel like Romans
Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us
We drink elixirs that we refine
from the juices of the dying
We are no monsters, we're moral people
and yet we have the strength to do this
This is the splendour of our achievement
Call in the airstrike with a poison kiss
I work as an anthropologist in Southeast Asia. So I've always been fascinated by the Tcho Tcho. Read a lot of the different hypotheses, biological models etc in the Ice Cave, but wanted one that would let them all be true, as well as tie the Tcho Tcho more deeply to the Mythos. So I came up with this. In a nutshell, due to an ancient Mythos connection, Tcho Tcho assimilate the genomes of the things they eat. If they want to stay (roughly) human, they HAVE to eat humans. On the other hand, if they have the POW to assimilate other things without mutating to death, they can become insectile hive queens, naked mole rats or whatever else they can stuff down their throats. Including nice white boys and girls...
It's really part of a
clever decades-old disinformation campaign; PISCES is behind it. They want to
discredit all of that "psychic" nonsense as much as possible in the US (and
elsewhere) so they can keep their near-monopoly on "Talents". Maybe
they quietly prop up the careers of people like Uri Geller, John Edward, Sylvia
Browne, the Ghosthunters (US), the Ghost Hunters (UK) and various New Age
flakes in order to occasionally "expose" them as frauds; toss one to
the lions when you've used 'em up and break out the next sacrificial lamb.
I'd been working on porting the psychic rules from Pagan's Golden Dawn
and DG:Countdown to the Nemesis system. I got a copy of the WT5
playtest rules & it looked like most of the work had already been
done in the form of the Miracle Cafeteria.
