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.

Signs of the Endtimes PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jürgen Hubert   
Wednesday, 19 July 2006

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.

Friday, 14 July 2006

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.

ITEM #28382-C - The Clockwork Opera PDF Print E-mail
Written by Marshall Gatten   
Thursday, 13 July 2006

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.
