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.
What if the new Mythos consumes the way you see things. Suddenly the
world makes a lot of sense. What if the world is full of this new
Mythos, but we've become jaded too it, as it works its will. What about
all that spam... the ones with a few words and then gobbledigook? Is
that something trying to communicate, or a spammer losing it to
something else.
CoC adventures often deal with threats to the entire world, and the
repercussions can be very dire if the PCs fail. However, actually
_destroying_ the world would be a bit much. For one thing, this would
end the campaign. For another, the various Great Old Ones dwelling on
Earth would probably do something about it (since they live here, too),
and "Deus Ex Machina" is not a role they play well.
The Bell is easily the largest item in the Collection, nearly as large
as the Great Mingun Bell of Myanmar, weighing 88 metric tons and
standing over 20 feet high. At the top, the massive rings where it
would attach to its mount have been torn half away from the body of the
bell, and one of the rings is split, indicating that some flaw allowed
the bell to tear away from its mount under its own weight.
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.
