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.
The Szcymanski Algorithm
is a relatively simple method for generating strings of random numbers.
Szcymanski was working for the Polish millitary when he came up with
the algorithm.
It was tested as a basis for one-time-pad
encryption, but relatively quickly the algorithm's sinister side was
revealed. When messages encrypted with Szcymanski's "random" numbers
are subjected to cryptological cracking attempts, it turns out that the
numbers tell a story of their own... the Szcymanski Text.
This short, strange videotape is useful as a plot device rather than an
information source. It provides the only known record of the activities
of a cult centered in Bucharest and known as the "deaders". The grainy
tape begins with a group of young people (late teens through twenties)
gathered in a poorly lit room.
Dating from the early second century CE this was the most singular find
at the site of any of the twenty-two expeditions undertaken before the
founding of the modern state of Israel. Israeli authorities have closed
the ancient mound to all scholars, possibly because of security
concerns, since the founding of their state.
The patent application was originally filed by a Mr Hammond J. Pike and
comprises over one hundred pages of dense description of a device which
essentially functions as a perpetual motion machine. The description is
littered with obscure references to dubious physical theorems
concerning the extraction of energy from the “gaps between universes”
and contains page after page of impenetrable formulae and equations.
“The Nine Doors To the Kingdom of Shadows” (also known as “De Umbrarum
Regis Novum Portis”, or "Nine Gates" for short), is a quarto-sized tome
with a brown leather cover embossed with a pentagram. No other markings
adorn the cover or spine, but there is a title page. The book was
written by one Aristide Torchia in Venice in 1666. Along with its
nigh-impenetrable occult rantings, it contains nine tarot-like woodcut
engravings. These are rumoured to be copied from the "Delomelanicon", a
possibly apocryphal work attributed to Lucifer himself (but possibly
penned by the 16th century free-thinker Giordano Bruno).
Nina Jansen was/is/will be an ordinary girl living in a quiet little
town on the eastern coast of England. The box containing the diaries,
totally 11 volumes, all full with text, are stashed away in a cardboard
box in a house not far from where she lives/will live.
Night Tales is a manuscript of a collection of not very well written
erotic poems. While the poems themselves only hint at things outside
our world, mostly at the Dreamworlds, the manuscript itself is a
magical artefact. Reading the right passage, specifically the poem
entitled The World of Lust, out loud, will release into the readers
mind a great deal of information. In fact, the tacky poems were never
meant to be a book, they were written by Kauffmann to hide the hideous
truths he had learned.
Fragments can be
found in Dream Zagreb in HotOE. They are from the story of the same
name by Thomas Ligotti. Drapeau was a modern decadent who had a journal
of his dreams, delusions, and schizophrenic fancies. Whether they are
real or illusion is subject to controversy. Of course, after his final
entry, he vanished off the face of the earth... Finding a copy is
notoriously hard, although the bookstore in "Vastarien" probably had a
copy.
