Cthulhu Cthursday: Secrets
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Pictured above is a mailer that was sent out from a company called Veer. Is it not beautiful? It is the membership info for The Very Secret Order Of Creative Understanding, whose crest is emblazoned with the visage of the Great Cthulhu. If there are any criticisms to be leveled at this kit it is the fact that the room it is pictured in is not to be found at the Ectomo offices. Yes, you read correctly, Ectomo is not privy to this very secret knowledge! I know, it’s crazy that we, the stewards of Cthulhu Cthursday, have been omitted from the Order’s mailing list! It must have gotten lost in the mail. Yes, that’s it! Some errant postman must have espied our kit and realizing that he was in possession of forbidden knowledge, he kept it. No doubt the miscreant is, at this very moment, partaking in the secrets that are rightfully ours. That BASTARD!
Needless to say he won’t be able to handle it; he just doesn’t know how to parse that kind of information. So, if you see a postman gibbering with a wild look in his eyes let us know, as he no doubt has something that belongs to us. In the meantime we will have to settle for downloading this PDF which includes all the aforementioned documentation.
And to our postman: we will find you and we will come for what is ours, in the night, while you and your children sleep; and it will be unpleasant.

Sorry to hear you didn’t get your copy. The ones destined for you offices must have been sent to ours by mistake. I think I saw about 25 sitting on desks around here yesterday.

Oh, and btw…I enjoy a creative challenge as much as the next guy, but I wish Veer would have PUT THE ANSWERS TO THE $%^@*&% RIDDLES IN THE #$%^&*@ BACK OF THE #$%&*@# HANDBOOK!

Oh JT, your lack of curiosity disappoints me. All the solutions are practically printed within the brochure itself.
I was the first person I knew to get the kit, and perhaps will be the first person I know to get a modified version of that crest tattooed somewhere on my body.

Oh my God, that is a brilliant idea.

Just thought I might post, that, inspired by this site and the one Cthulu Cthursday post of a picture of the Great Old One’s action figure, I bought one at spencer’s gifts though they insulted Cthulu by slashing the price from $19.99 to 9.98.
There’s also a dagon figure but did not see it.

What annoys me is their more-eldritch-then-thou attitude.
