Someone steal this for your Call of Cthulhu campaign.

Recipe for a fun time: make paper buildings, smash them while playing some MP3s of Godzilla sound effects.

Aieeee!

Can anybody read this?  I cannot.

From a Russian made pack of cards, IIRC.

Traditional depiction of Zarathustra.

  2. When I was a youngster, my brother had a model railroad complete with houses, mountains, etc. My mother's cat used to sit in the middle of the diorama, occasionally swatting at the train as it went by.

  3. The text in 8.gif is a Slavic language (probably Russian) written in Cyrillic. The handwriting is odd, though. The circles on the serifs remind me of Glagolitic (which was used to write Old Church Slavonic). My Russian is too poor to be able to decipher more than a handful of words, aside from prepositions.

  6. For my son's 7th birthday (4 years ago now), we had the kids decorate a bunch of boxes as buildings. Then we set them up in the back yard, and had the boys attack the King Kong pinata whiloe wearing a godzilla costume. They loved it. One kid (not mine!) knocked over the two biggest buildings and claimed to be "9/11"... maybe he loved it too much.

    I wonder if anyone has worked Chicago serial killer H. H. Holmes (1861-1896) and the 1893 World's Fair into a Call of Cthulhu scenario.

    (That first picture of the house reminded me of Holmes and his hotel/human murder playhouse. There's a picture of his at the link above.
