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.
Packed up in seven large wooden boxes marked with the swastika are tens
of thousands small tiles; coloured black, white and green. A closer
look reveals that the black ones seems to be made out of obsidian, the
white ones out of bone (though it can be contested that any bone this
old should be unable to stay white) and the green ones from some
unknown, but slightly soapy to the touch, mineral.
This item is listed as having been obtained from a trader based in
Martinique along with an instruction to keep it covered, and apparently
arrived in Europe in 1869. When discovered by Karotechia it was covered
with an imperial German flag.
Charles II of Spain ( 1661 - 1700 ) was a King of Spain from the
Habsburg dynasty. Even on official paintings the deformities from
generations of incest are visible. This painting by an unknown artist
bears the date June 24th 1700.
This piece originated in France, the work of Jacques de Vaucanson. It
was unveiled in 1781, just one year before his death (and several years
after it was thought he stopped working on similar projects). Composed
of brass, wax, leather, glass, and hair, this ingenious piece of
automata depicts a scale model of a stage upon which a cast of players
stands in costume and before which sits a full orchestra. Like many of
Vaucanson's works, every player and every actor is amazingly detailed.
One can even imagine seeing tiny fingerprints on the pads of the
fingers of each figure. Even with all this detail, the entire
contraption is only about a meter square, and stands half a meter high.
An oil portrait of an extremely old man in a bare wooden candlelit
room. He is sitting in a rocking chair before a window open to a starry
night sky, centered upon the constellation Taurus. The old man's back
is to the viewer. Spilled across the ground next to him is a deck of
tarot cards. The Fool and the Destroyed Tower are prominent, and there
is a bloody knife impaling the Sun to the rotting floorboards.
A normal human hand, except for what appears to be a bullet hole
through the palm. The hand floats in alcohol which, upon testing,proves
to be laudanum. The jar is a large screw-top mason jar of a type made
by Hero Glass Works of Philadelphia, Penn., in the mid-late 19th
century, with the words "THE GEM" embossed on on the upper body.
