"Digging for truth buries the seeker" may be aimed at us. Meaning it is a new game and digging for answers for what this is will just bury us in useless theories.. ?

Then it's probably not a Cthulhu game Sounds more like a fantasy rpg when I read the new text they put up. I would be extremely happy with a new Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale as well.

Yeah the number 4 is putting me off as well. I can't find any significant refference to the number in the cthulhu mythos, but im not that familiar with the works. Wheel of time would be awesome, but I am realy hoping for an investigation rpg in Lovecrafts settings.

My guess is it will be a adoptation of the tapletop rpg Trial of Cthulhu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Cthulhu_(role-playing_game)

I did some research on the words mentioned ion the page and in the code. I came across this: http://www.epberglun...6/ns16fic17.htm This makes me pretty sure that this game will have an occult/dark setting inspired by Lovecraft, or directly based on Lovecrafts work. Glanfath = Granfather "My name is Richard Daniel Upton. My father was Edward Derby Upton and my grandfather was Daniel Upton. Grandfather, you see, was the originator of this horrid family inheritance: all due to a secret his father before him had, which lead to everything else that followed." Esenath = Asenath (just different spelling) "My grandfather, Daniel Upton, had a very close friend named Edward Pickman Derby. Edward was something of a child prodigy to whom my grandfather took a liking. While my grandfather pursued his career in architecture, an ability he seemed to have been innately endowed with, his friend Edward pursued literature and metaphysics. When Edward was 38 years old and immersed in further studies of the arcane, he met a 23-year-old woman going to Miskatonic University. Her name was Asenath Waite. Edward fell in love with her, and they were married. Edward then suffered from a psychotic disorder wherein his personality seemed to change, or so it sounded like this to me as I read my grandfather's notes. Apparently, after less than four years of marriage, he and his wife fought so badly that he murdered her. He was then committed to Arkham Sanatorium." "Asenath Waite hailed from Innsmouth, a town said to be the local center of the "Cthulhu Cult." Her father had arranged for her to be made the ward of the principal of Hall School, in Kingsport. She was somewhat of a bully in that school, given to frightening the other children with tales of magic and even shows of magic, but not trickery: genuine magic. After coming of age, she went to Miskatonic University where she was introduced to Edward. According to grandfather, she wanted Edward's body: literally, not romantically. Also, according to grandfather, Asenath was not entirely human, she was "half of the blood of Dagon," as grandfather put it, which posed a danger for Kamog. Here is where the notes get confusing, and deal with my own family." Here it also mentiones the 'The Worm Ouroboros' "Who was Kamog? My own great-granduncle! Our big family secret seems to have been that my grandfather's father was Jewish! He was one Bezalel Yehuda ben-Daniel. He had a brother Khemosh Ephraim ben-Daniel. They were Jewish, yet not entirely Jewish in the religious sense. They were of a mysterious tribe known of old as Kenites, yet they traced their matrilineal Hebrew descent from the tribe of Dan through Bilhah, and in this chest were the records to prove this! While the tribe of Dan is well known, the same can not be said of the Kenites. Kenites, which in Hebrew means "builders," were famed architects, which is probably where grandfather inherited the ability he pursued as his own career. They were also known to be Ophitic or Obic people. Ophite referred to the Serpent of Wisdom, or Satan; whereas Ob referred to an even more ancient term "Ub-aur" or "Ubb" and was related to a most ancient cult of Worm Idolatry, perhaps akin to the Ouroboros: "The Worm Ouroboros."" It would be great if anyone with more knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos where to confirm this or do even more research
