Fatal Frame (aka Project ZERO) [e-game] « Result #2 on Apr 18, 2005, 8:52am »
by: Tecmo
Type: Survival Horror
Synopsis: Nine days have passed since Mafuyu, brother of Miku Hinasaki, disappeared.
It all began about a month ago.
The media reported that the famous novelist Junsei Takamine disappeared while gathering research for an upcoming novel. Mafuyu, an aspiring journalist, suspected that something was wrong. Why would his mentor simply vanish into thin air? Mafuyu decided to conduct a private search for his friend, with the investigation eventually leading to the grounds of a secluded mansion. The Himuro mansion stands silent and imposing deep within the forest. It's said that years ago the mansion belonged to a powerful landowner who had absolute control over the area. But now it's a shadow of its former self, dilapidated and desolate...
As Mafuyu searched the mansion, he found scraps of paper left by Junsei and his staff throughout the mansion. The writings recounted a number of ominous events that happened in the mansion's dark past. Eager to find additional clues within the mansion, Mafuyu rushed in and suddenly realized that he wasn't alone...
Miku came to the Himuro mansion in search of her missing brother. But she had no idea what she was getting into...
Review: A really good game, original and creepy. You are a high-school girl (yes, that means you're wearing a sailor uniform ), armed with only a camera, in a Mansion full of angry and hungry ghosts. But thankfully, the camera can capture the ghosts... The story is really great, making good use of old Shinto rituals, and, while I'll not say more not to spoil your fun, the plot twist is really interesting!

Review: A really good CoC supplement, I'm hoping for more Chaosium books of this quality. If you've been thinking about setting your campaign in Japan, then you MUST get it... If you never considered that possibility, reading it will make you change your mind A fun and interesting read anyway.

New Cthulhu Mythos Book List - Anything Missing? « Result #4 on Apr 1, 2005, 2:24pm »
Hello everyone,
I’d like to enlist your help on a new project I’m working on. I’ve set up a new web site I’m calling The Ultimate Mythos Book List where I’m listing every printed work set in or using parts of the Cthulhu Mythos that I can find. I’ve currently got a ton of stuff up and am continuing to work.
Here’s where you Mythos experts come in: please take a look at the list and let me know what’s missing. I know that I have left some things out. The list is here:

A number of such props will be uploaded on the DG:Spectrum site soon (as soon as we are granted authorization to host them by their authors actually)...
But if you can't wait, the best thing I can advise you is try going peer-to-peer. As far as I know there's no site hosting such material so far.

Looking for Documents « Result #6 on Jan 30, 2005, 12:42pm »
Greetings,
I am currently looking for online documents or a pdf of medical forms such as death certificates, autopsy forms or formats, and other "official documents" such as police reports and whatnot.

[AD] Non-DG Call of Chtulu play-by-post beginning « Result #10 on Dec 4, 2004, 5:39pm »
A Call of Chtulu BRP game is being set up on these forums, under the title "Usatti Asfet." Check it out if you're into CoC...the Keeper/GM's a really great guy, and the players on that board are pretty good too.
(Edit: Since the difference is somewhat subtle with this color scheme, 'these forums' is a hyperlink.)
