Outsider: the Calling OUTSIDER: THE CALLING “I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.” -HPL, The Outsider Notice: If you start a new thread come tell us on the IRC channel or leave a comment on the blog, I’ve noticed that several threads were started without us even knowing about it.

Introduction There are things in this universe which are not meant for human eyes. There are monsters in the shadows of the world, humans just cattle, food, that sustains their cursed existence. But what of the shadows beyond reality, what beings might lurk there? Creatures of forms so sublime and terrible that would make men gouge out their own eyes as a sign of devotion. Intellects so vast that to absorb even a fraction of their knowledge would drive a man insane. Might that would extinguish stars and rearrange planets. Beings that are everything that is not. Now imagine that someone or something attracts their attention, causing the cosmos itself to recoil from the contact. Sometimes a crack forms, from which the outside seeps into the fabric of creation and when such a conduit has a will of it's own an Outsider is born. Outsider: The Calling is a game about these aberrations, trying to reclaim or just survive in a universe that rejected them long ago. They search the hidden and forgotten corners of the world for hidden lore that might shed light on their condition. Form cults that they might help them remake the world in their dark masters’ image. Some just exploit their 'gifts' to achieve dominance over those they deem inferior. Or they try to reject their own heritage and hide away from curious eyes that just won't leave them alone. Regardless of whether they choose to heed their master's Calling their very nature alters the universe as we know it and nothing will be the same again. Outsiders have come to their inhuman perspectives in a variety of ways. Some may have sought out this power, whether in forbidden tomes or occult experimentation. Some may have been born with it, whether as a result of a cosmic accident or through the machinations of some cult. Another may have been infected with a disease, or opened the wrong door or... Basically anything is an option. mIRC: #alientheoutsider on irc.thisisnotatrueending.com Blog: http://outsiderthecalling.blogspot.com/ Places to look for inspiration: CTHULHU MYTHOS TIMELINE http://www.templeofdagon.com/cthulhu-mythos/timeline-of-the-cthulhu-mythos/ Leviathan: The Tempest, similar project, semi-finished http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/LeviathanTempest:CompilationProject Cthulhu wiki http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [Comics] Alan Moore, The Courtyard Mac Carter, The Strange Adventures of H.P.

In the Mouth of Madness AM1200 Hellraiser Fallen [Books] The Eerie Adventures of the Lycanthrope Robinson Crusoe - Werewolf vs Cultists [Music] Nox Arcana, Necronomicon GLOSSARY (Add to this as necessary) Abandonments: As the Outsider grows in power it sheds aspects of humanity gaining certain abilities in return. Aklo: The alien language all Outsiders speak. All rituals and secret texts use it. Callings: Gatherings of Outsiders working towards a common goal. Courtiers of the Black Pharaoh - Outsiders linked to Nyarlathotep, the messenger and voice of the Outer Gods and soul of Azathoth. Their powers generally involve socialization and bargaining, but the also benefit from a closer relationship with their God. Creed: While outsiders don’t have proper political factions they tend to align themselves along five schools of thought regarding their unnatural situation: The Servants, The Masters, The Rebels, The Deniers and The Dreamers. Cultist: A mortal who worships the Outsiders as a god in the hopes that it might grant him power or at the very least a quick death. Displacement: An Outsider is a cancer upon the fabric of reality. Displacement indicates just how much of an irritant it is. Eldritch Form: An Outsider that reaches zero Quiescence assumes a heavily mutated form and is effectively no longer human. It is possible for him to willingly decide to give in to his alien nature to assume it for a limited time. Jenkins: 1.Rat like creature with a human head and hands/paws and sharp fangs which are used to drink blood. Usually found as a witch's familiar. 2. Derogatory term for a vampire. Keepers of the Silver Key - Outsiders linked to Yog-Sothoth, the Outer God that exists beyond our reality. Their powers generally involve the manipulation of time and space. Labyrinth: A place of refuge for Outsiders and other creatures of the beyond. Keeper: Outsider whose power is attuned to a Labyrinth. Madness: The energy that Outsiders use to bend and break reality. It's not literal madness, but a way of indicating how successful an Outsider is perverting the laws of the universe. Mythos: An Outsider's connection to its alien side. The more he indulges it the more powerful he becomes, but it also becomes harder to hide its nature. Naacal: The ancient language of Mu. Penance: As a consequence of drawing directly on the energies of the outer realms Outsiders gain temporary points of Displacement. Quiescence: An Outsider's connection to the universe, its humanity. Anything that might break the laws of reality has a chance of lowering it. The lower it is, the likelier it is that the universe will notice and strike back. Quiescence is not morality, you might kill someone for a boost of power, but it’s the act of using that power to break reality that causes Quiescence to drop. Rejections: are the powers that Outsiders use. Fueled by Madness they make a mockery of the very concepts of things. Up is down, down is left, a cat will bark and the shadows will eat your face. Outsiders reject your reality and substitute their own. Rituals: Similar to Rejections they are much greater in scale and may require more than one Outsider to complete. Although the result might be similar to an atomic bomb, they are the equivalent of circumnavigating the universe's defenses as opposed to Rejections that just ram through. Scions of the Yellow Sign - Outsiders linked to Hastur, the memetic mind virus and force of entropy. Their powers revolve around madness and the alteration of reality. Sects: Outsiders can be divided according to what god gave rise to them. There are as many Sects as there are gods. This book focuses on five in particular. Senzar: The language of the ancient tribes of Atlantis. Starspawned Savants - Outsiders linked to Cthulhu, the dreaming High Priest of the Old Ones, now trapped until the stars are right. Their powers generally revolve around dreams and mental control. Young of the Thousand - Outsiders linked to Shub-Niggurath, the twisted fertility God. Their powers generally revolve around physical mutation and transformation. Literary Examples of possible Outsiders: So I was just thinking back, and trying to make a list of all the Lovecraft characters and Call of Cthulhu characters in general who we might co-opt as Outsiders. The Whateley brothers are obvious ones, though one has far lower Quiescence and higher Mythos than the other. The protagonist in The Outsider, funnily enough. Stephen Alzis, as has previously been mentioned. The Masters of the Cult of Transcendence have clearly found a way to negate the effects of high Mythos, low Quiescence. The Spawn of Nyarlathotep from from the Kenya chapter of Masks of Nyarlathotep, possibly using a Rejection that lets itself appear human. Those high-up priests of Shub-Niggurath who appear half-goat-like could easily be Outsiders. Randolph Carter, I think, was suggested as an Outsider linked to Yog-Sothoth. The Midwich Cuckoos the book of the same name and the Village of the Damned movie. GENERAL ABILITIES Favored Attribute: Becoming an outsiders alters your body and mind, but the ‘how’ depends on the sect. You buy your Sect’s favored Attribute at lesser cost [Dots X4] instead of [Dots X5]. Also, the limit for your favored stat is +1 what your Mythos level would allow. Starspawned Savant: Presence Shepard of the Silver Key: Intelligence Young of the Thousand: Strength Scion of the Yellow Sign: Wits Courtier of the Black Pharaoh: Manipulation Favored Skills: It doesn't matter whether you embrace your heritage or not, you'll still know far more than you'd want to.

    Page 22 Survival Horrality: Analysis of a Videogame Genre (1) Ewan Kirkland Introduction The title of this article is drawn from Philip Brophy’s 1983 essay which coins the neologism ‘horrality’, a merging of horror, textuality, morality and hilarity. Like Brophy’s original did of 1980s horror cinema, this article examines characteristics of survival horror videogames, seeking to illustrate the relationship between ‘new’ (media) horror and ‘old’ (media) horror. Brophy’s term structures this investigation around key issues and aspects of survival horror videogames. Horror relates to generic parallels with similarly­labelled film and literature, including gothic fiction, American horror cinema and traditional Japanese culture. Textuality examines the aesthetic qualities of survival horror, including the games’ use of narrative, their visual design and structuring of virtual spaces. Morality explores the genre’s ideological characteristics, the nature of survival horror violence, the familial politics of these texts, and their reflection on issues of institutional and bodily control. Hilarity refers to moments of humour and self reflexivity, leading to consideration of survival horror’s preoccupation with issues of vision, identification, and the nature of the videogame medium. ‘Survival horror’ as a game category is unusual for its prominence within videogame scholarship. Indicative of the amorphous nature of popular genres, Aphra Kerr notes: ‘game genres are poorly defined and evolve as new technologies and fashions emerge’;(2) an observation which applied as much to videogame academia as to the videogame industry. Within studies of the medium, various game types are commonly listed. These might include the shoot­‘em­up, the racing game, the platform game, the God game, the real­time strategy game, and the puzzle game,(3) the simulation, role­playing, fighting/action, sports, traditional and ‘”edutainment”’ game,(4) or action, adventure, strategy and ‘process­orientated’ games.(5) These clusters of game types tend to be broad, commonsensical, and under­theorized.

  • The Ruined City Welcome My Brave Heroes!
    The Ruined City Welcome my brave Heroes! Once again I need your help. But first let me tell you a story. A long time ago the mighty Bretonian Quest Knight, Adonar, was on his way home from the great crusade. In his hands he was holding a chalice crafted by the Lady of the Lake. The chalice was said to have the power to heal the deadliest wound and to be able to restore life to the dead. But he never reached his homeland. It is written that he was defeated by a mighty Chaos Warband and the chalice was lost. Many years later rumours have been heard of a small temple in the town of Schnappelburg, where priests perform the "True Healing". Two weeks ago Schnappelburg was overrun and ransacked by a evil Orc Warband. Now you must go to the ruins of Schnappelburg and find the holy chalice before the Orcs can find it. Act with haste my friends. The magic portal is prepared... Mentor Notes Wandering Monster: A "You are entering the Town Hall. A mean Goblin smiles at you and yells: 'Intruders!'" "As you open the door you see an innocent maiden: 'Thank you for saving my life. I'm Theresa. They killed everyone in town, but my father, our Wizard, has sealed the Tom on the Bretonian Knight and put the key in the bookcase in the library. Please take me out alive.'"

Since their composition four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s plays and poems have traveled the globe, inviting those who see and read his works to make them their own. Readers of the New Folger Editions are part of this ongoing process of “taking up Shakespeare,” finding our own thoughts and feelings in language that strikes us as old or unusual and, for that very reason, new. We still struggle to keep up with a writer who could think a mile a minute, whose words paint pictures that shift like clouds. These expertly edited texts are presented to the public as a resource for study, artistic adaptation, and enjoyment. By making the classic texts of the New Folger Editions available in electronic form as The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), we place a trusted resource in the hands of anyone who wants them. The New Folger Editions of Shakespeare’s plays, which are the basis for the texts realized here in digital form, are special because of their origin.
