 		Mixing Mythos
One thing that has jumped out at me, is that the author of this game is really mixing their Mythos.

Overall it has a Deep One, Dagon feel. Hence the watercolor I got of what appears to be a Deep One climbing a wall.

But then they tossed in the info in the letter which is a Dreamlands reference to the Plateu Of Leng and maybe the city of Mu.

Is there any place that has a full listing of the images of all the packages thus far?


Lastly, one weird note is that mine was postmarked on Friday the 13th...

In the watercolor piece you got, would you say there's a signature ("DC", or "DC2") in the bottom-right, or is that just a fold/wrinkle/hair/scanner-glitch?

Looking at it up close, it appears to be 'DC' written in pencil.

 		Wow, I didn't think I was that sloppy when I was doing that. Definitely make both those changes. I'll do it myself in a bit if no one else does.

 		Light Up My Life
Well just on the off chance there was something hidden on the papers in the envelope or the envelope itself I examined everything under Blacklight, both Long and shirt wave, and under infrared.

Something we did in a LARP was to embed hidden messages in UV reactive inks. No such luck here.

 		Contents of the Creators
This is more then likely the souls responsible for the game. It is the owners of bseeingu.com. Here's their content from the website they maintain.


Quote:
If you arrived here, you're probably participating in the pilot chapter of Eldritch Errors, an immersive horror series playing out in real time on the Web. You've fallen through the walls by stumbling here so soon - go back the way you came, which ever way that might have been. We'll have more to share with you sometime in the future.

Go back knowing that Eldritch Errors deals with mature themes and is intended for audiences aged 18 and up and that because it is played online with other people, your experience will vary as you interact with other online players.

Go back knowing that when we go to bed to at night, we pray that this entire story is fiction and that gives us some comfort.

If you feel you must fall further through the walls (for issues technical, legal or investigative) you can reach the Eldritch Errors team at inquiry at eldritcherrors.com.

*Phaedra gazes upon the Moebius-strip meta-OR-IS-IT!? comment.

Heh, that's an interesting way to wield the fig leaf.

You should find an organized compilation of everything on the wiki

 		Ok, I went back and checked all my counting. You guys were right, #3 is N. Also, I had taken that 5, 1, 6 from a list someone else made a while back, and it was also wrong, so I fixed that too. Incidently, the correct page number, 45, has two possible pages. One (probably the right one) is from At the Mountains of Madness, but there's also a page 45 from 2600.

So anyway, here's the corrected info:

 		I just got a Envelope!
Yep, I got one too.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At first I was hoping it was a "jar of honey", but, eh, I'll take a GMD game Smile.


I'll photogrpah & post later tonight or tomorrow. Contents are very similar to the post at the beginning, but all different pages/pictures.

edit: Postmark is april 13. I suspect they got my name/address since I got a Benjamin Stove poster. I didn't even participate with that game much :/.

 		I added the new red numbers to the wiki. Another duplicate I Ching phrase, but no new page number matches.

 		Nice... the letter:

Quote:
Do you ever think about the line between reality and fantasy? I've always told people that line is the mark of madness and did my best to stay firmly planted on one side or the other. I'm still convinced that i'm firmly planted in reality but my dreams want to tell me otherwise. They've been so very real lately. It's always the same, a place where darkness rules. And every night I see you there as a part of the exodus walking away from the city. If it is a dream, then it is fantasy. If it is fantasy, then how do I see you or all of the others? I don't expect that you can answer that, but I do hope that you'll listen. Please, go and find them.

Seeing you,
B

Very very similar to Phaedra's letter. Just redundancy in case the packages don't get reported? If so, what's important here that requires redundancy?
