3rd shift checking in! just read all 22 pages. I "Lovecraft" it, I'm in. Wasn't there a craigslist for Indianapolis? Anyways I found this intresting:

I don't know if anyone noticed this but that is, but that is not an octopus. That is Cthulhu! Another H.P. Lovecraft tie in. If it has already been stated "My Bad" My eyes hurt after the 20th page so ? I just noticed people calling it an Octopus.

Plus my Lovecraft and information on the lost continent of MU are fresh from LG15 and creating Doomskull! Yeah Very Happy

I approve of minions!

I might of dreamt it, but I *think* someone mentioned the elder sign, but I could be wrong!

sorry if i'm pointing out something obvious, but didn't find the info on the thread nor the wiki: the sign on one side of the coin is the Elder Sign, which is supposed to be kind of a protection. Also, "Cthulhu was sealed within the barnacled tower at R'lyeh by the Elder Sign, which his minions are powerless to touch" (http://cthulhufiles.com/cthsecte.htm#elder_sign_2)

The original representation of the sign being the other picture attached

As PST Productions mentioned 'The Silver Key' that was written by H P Lovecraft, the only refrence I can currently find to 'green' is 'The Green Meadow'

Quote:

The Green Meadow is a short story by H.P. Lovecraft and Winifred V. Jackson written in 1918/19 and published in the spring 1927 issue of The Vagrant.

Edit: At a stretch, there is also a refrence to cities burning in HP Lovecrafts 'The street'

Finally! I have read every post! Though now that I have, I can't think of much to say, damn.

Anyways, I'll be taking a refreshed course on teh Lovecraft over the next couple of days. So, hopefully that will come in handy. I called the number left my name, number, and addy. I guess only time will tell right now. Other than the EldritchErrors site, there don't seem to be any web trails that we need to be looking into, aside from the CraigsList ads.

Well, as per usual, you can find me lurking on the ChatSolutions Server, and maybe even in the channel! Heh.

Sorry for the hassle - would you be able to get photos of each sheet in full (to see all 4 edges in each shot) front and back? It's more a matter of matching up the halves than reading what's on the pages... basically if possible, 4 pictures - labelled as the front and back of page 1 and 2. To avoid the flash glare, you could either boost the light in the room or find better lighting and not use a flash, or set your camera to a higher ISO setting (quality of the image really doesn't matter much) and not use the flash...
if that's not too much to ask, that would make things so much easier and neater Smile

Take a look at the picturebook page to see what I mean...

Wow there's a Cthulhu group in San Francisco?

I finally finished reading all 21 pages of this forum and I'm ready to play and/or lurk. This is starting off really well. I read a bunch of Lovecraft a very long time ago, hopefully I will start to remember some of it. I really can't wait to see the whole painting completed.

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.

Exactly. I think our value (to the PMs and to the community) in this case was that they could assume we'd tell people about what we'd received.

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

Yes, I was wondering if there was a reason behind using both colors. I mean unless the wax used comes with two colors already, it is obviously deliberate. Do either of those colors have any special significance in Lovecraft's works? I admit I haven't ever read that much of his work. I was a bit too jumpy about reading them until recently.

I probably won't be on tomorrow, due to prom. Mom doesn't believe that I don't want to play Cinderella for the night. (insert gagging noise here)
