Those of you who played Catching the Wish probably remember this.
For those that didn't play, this website was on an advertisement in the CTW comic.

I have been keeping an eye on this since CTW ended and just noticed an update today.
Still not much there but it's something.
judging by the pic name (03-17-07.jpg) it was probably just updated.

The EGG: An act in 3 plays

Part 1. The Papers (in 3 parts)

Part 2. Ron and Jack -A movie about the Babalon Working (Think Autofocus meets The Aviator)

Part 3. The Middle and End

Stay tuned


I remember in CTW something about the egg in relation to the pine barrens
and the mythos there. I'll have to look it up though.
Here it is.

[20:56] <TuringPrinciple> drizjr: In the mid 1980's a group of radical scientists, sociologists, philosophers, and doctors created an Ashram in the Pine Barrens of New jersey, just outside of Ongs Hat, to pursue their radical ideas and experiments, the most famous of which was codenamed the Egg.
[20:56] <Sylvia> TuringPrinciple: yes.
[20:56] <TuringPrinciple> Sylvia: Yeah.
[20:56] <drizjr> TuringPrinciple: What is the Egg?
[20:56] <TuringPrinciple> drizjr: The Egg is the name given to an experimental transportation device supposedly created at the Ongs Hat Ashram. The Egg was supposed to allow interdimensional transportation.

Taken from HERE.

Not sure if they are going to pick up here using the CTW mythos but I hope so.
No idea what this is going to be but I hope Dave is involved.

The email addy at the bottom still gives an old auto reply.

 		Here's what I found:

Quote:
COMING IN 2007


Cool. Smile

And in the source...

Code:
METANAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="http://www.webcom.com/gnosis/pkd.biography.html"

META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="There is nothing to see here, go away now"


(I took out some brackets, as this was not displaying properly.)

Leading to this article on Phillip K. Dick:

http://www.webcom.com/gnosis/pkd.biography.html

Not sure how much of this is old, etc... As I didn't play Catching the Wish.

 		Yeah sorry i should have mentioned that.
But good thinking looking in the source. Wink

The front of the site previously was just the text "coming soon" with the email addy under it.
That link in the source was there too.
Everything else is new.

 		I never played CTW but this seems pretty interesting. So is this a movie, or a continuation of CTW, or something entirely different?

From final PM chat with Dave after CTW2
Quote:
<cabalagent23> the egg is a movie project in the works right now optioned to an actual movie studio and although it is not directlky tied into the ctw world it uses elements of the ongs hat mythos that ctw has contributed in its story.

 		This site is very interesting.
I was wondering, though.
Is this a stand alone trailhead, or is it only good for players of Catching the Wish?

 		I really don't see this as being in the same story line as CTW. Sounds more like they use the Ongs Hat mythos and went in a totally different direction. So, if this becomes more than a movie (i.e. something interactive or ARGish) it would be a completely stand alone project.

 		Just in case anybody cares, the main page has been "forbidden" for awhile now. Sad

 		Just saw this thread for the first time today and Act #2 caught my eye:
It is a reference to Jack Parsons and Ron Hubbard's magical rituals attempting to summon the goddess Babalon in 1946.

It didn't work out too well for Jack but Hubbard managed to swindle some money out of him which helped in creating the infamous Church of Scientology later on..

El Centro 'outer' documents archived here in most of it's evolution . This active map shows the elements used in this story including the ones that went into the 'inner' documents and chapters and is meant to be used as historical reference. For a better understanding of the 'inner' and 'outer' workings of this notorius example of a blook combined with Historiographic metafiction, listen to the podcast below.
