Quote:

I should also point out that there may have been other reasons that people are chosen to receive packages, and if you didn't receive a package, you still may turn out to be a very valuable member of the player community.

heh. I would say that receiving packages are not at all an indication of value to the player community. I think the packages are an indication of people who work for ARGN or who can otherwise be counted on to post information.
Whether you got a package or not is not indicative of your value as a player.

I also have green and silver wax on the watercolor. Almost looked like it formed a pattern but not.

Did anyone else get the somewhat blatant reference in BA Saint Feline's name?

BA ST (Short For Saint) = Bast?

Granted there is tons of Bast reference with the cats on the page and such.

In the Mythos Lore, Bast is not only worshiped on Earth but in Lovecraft's Dreamlands. Here on earth she was popular in the City Of Bubastis. Before that she was worshiped in Atlantis.

In the Dreamlands, she is most notably worshiped in the city of Ulthar.

Ulthar is described as a town on the river Saki. A small village of Medieval Cottages and cobblestone streets. It is also forbidden to kill a cat here.

Ref. "The Cats of Ulthar"; "The Dreamquest Of Unknown Kadath" both penned by Lovecraft.

It is also the home to a high priest where upon the higest hill stands the Temple Of The Elder Ones. Also contains a huge magical library. Most notable; The Pnakotic Manuscripts and the Seven Crypitcal Books of Hsan.

Ulthar also refers to an Elder God created by Pelton, oone of the Lovecraft Circle Authors. Then you end up working in the Sussex manuscripts.

The problem with the Mythos is that several things climb over eachother.

Thanks, inio. I'll take a look, after all, my toes are wet, might as well jump on in. Also, I know this may be pointless, but looking at inio's, the first thing I noticed was that there seems to be two different colors of sealing wax on it, green and silver.

Heres the raw 300dpi scan of mine. Hope it proves interesting.

Left a message on B.A.'s phone. I'm supposed to be working on writing my own story, but this thing keeps insinuating itself into my thoughts... As an amateur artist, the paintings are really interesting to me. I almost wish I could get my hands on them to see if any specific techniques were used. Also, am I the only one who sees some letters other than DC written on some of the paintings? It may just be my eyes, but I thought I saw an A on the same panel as the DC.

I've been messing around with the water colors and I think I've fit the ones we have so far together. It's going to be hard to figure out where those octopus ones go until we get another piece. Is there any way that we can get some better shots of the ones that aren't exactly flat? (I'll rescan mine tomorrow and add it)

Joined up and took some cookies, and invited them to dinner.

Or, the digital version thereof.

That would be the Cthulhu Live Mail List. 500 hardcore Lovecraftian LARPers strong from around the world and growing.

The Lovecraft roots of this mystery have a lot of the members talking.

you can check it out if you like: cthulhu_liveSPLATyahoogroups.com is the name of the list.

So I hear there's a LARPer mailing list discussing the game?

Has anyone taken over a plate of cookies or made other neighborly gestures?

I would add madman59's package contents to that as well... [well assuming that he got a package]

bseeingu.com is back up. As I've just dabbled my toes in the water so far, I'm not sure if there are any changes. Just thought you'd like to know.
