I love Green Boxes. Ross has mentioned them before. I think the last one I got have a collection of office pens, a box of .38 ammo, and a framed landscape painting among other things.

It's from Delta Green: They are self storage units where DG agents store equipment and materials recovered from operations. They are loosely maintained by DG. A cell of agents might use it to store some guns and a magic tome or a box of weird old photos.

So think of it as a grab bag of random occult and espionage stuff.

I really should get my hands on the Delta Green sourcebook, if only because of the pure awesomeness of Adam Scott Glancy's AP games. It sounds like a pretty kickass variation on CoC.

This list looks very obsessive compulsive. Kind of creepy. I could just imagine some tall figure in tattered clothing clenching a blood stained version of this list and eying anyone who comes close while muttering phrases like "unclean filth must die". Hm.   

What's creepier was the fact it was TAPED TO THE WALL for 20 YEARS! If I wouldn't have moved my computer desk out of sheer annoyance of how terrible our office computer is, it probably would have been there another 20.

It was waiting for you to discover it.

Well, it's now tacked to my wall above the light switch where everyone can read it.

It's trying to return to it's master and cover all the lands in darkness.

Keep it secret.

Keep it safe.

Alright, I made these using by Blackberry Curve 8330 and MS Paint because I don't have PS on my laptop so don't rag on the quality.

The list corrupts the wall:



Books on the professors desk:



More books (these are the same books, but they work as two separate pictures):

Perfect. I think my players know enough CoC that those books will make for a great red herring.

The book that's title is almost visible in the picture with the books on the desk is Sarah Josepha Hale's _Flora's Interpreter_ (1834 edition). Here's a google books link to an 1850s edition: http://books.google.com/books?id=e7cYAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Flora%27s+Interpreter&source=bl&ots=WcChUKfKgH&sig=UfZjzxzzEA6KvveIcsOWe67RPaA&hl=en&ei=cXV8S_ypCoLANpLP9ZkF&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false

I can't best this. Also nice MS paint pictures.
