David conyers:

Major Harrison Peel of Australian Army Intelligence is an ongoing fictional character appearing in several weird science fiction stories by [[David Conyers]]. Although a contemporary character, Peel’s world is one plagued by time travel and causality, dimensional gates, alien monsters, strange worlds and bizarre physics. He has travelled to all the far corners of the world to combat these alien intrusions into our dimension wherever they occur.

Peel’s first encounter with the Cthulhu Mythos was in the early 2000s while he was stationed in South East Asia fighting Tcho-Tcho terrorists.

His next assignment was head of internal security for a secret Australian operation in the deserts of Western Australia, studying the city of the Great Race of Yith and the strange artefact discovered there, the Impossible Object. Scientific discoveries on that project lead to an American corporation developing an environmental technology of zero waste. This flawed use of alien technology ultimately released an extra-dimensional being onto the earth which almost destroyed the planet, which Peel and his peers through some hardship managed to advert.

Published Harrison Peel tales in chronological order include “Made of Meat” (Temple of Dagon), “Impossible Object” (Dreaming in R’lyeh), “False Containment” (Horrors Beyond), "Stomach Acid" (Lovecraft's Disciples), and “Reversed Terror” (Horror Carousel).

'''David Conyers''', ''born Sydney, Australia, May 30th. Writer, illustrator and editor.''

An Australian author whose childhood was spent in Oxford in the United Kingdom and the Adelaide Hills. He moved to Melbourne in his late teenage years and attended the University of Melbourne where he completed a degree in Civil Engineering in 1993. Once qualified he worked across Australia on several remote outback construction projects including a foundations project for a casino in Melbourne, a pipeline in the Pilbara, and a mining processing plant in central Western Australia.

In 1995 David travelled to Africa with fellow writer [[David Witteveen]] visiting Zimbabwe, Zambia and Kenya. His exposure to African culture and thier vastly different standards of living had a profound influence on his writing ever since.

In the mid to late 1990s David transitioned from engineering to marketing communications. He married in 2003 and moved to Adelaide with his wife in 2005.

David’s first published Call of Cthulhu scenario was [[Devil%27s Children]], Pagan Publishing’s first professionally bound full colour-cover book, co-written with David Witteveen and David Godley, and released in 1993. It was during this period that he wrote and presented Call of Cthulhu supplements at Melbourne gaming conventions with fellow writers [[Richard Watts]], [[Mark Morrison]], [[Penelope Love]] and [[David Witteveen]].

David returned to writing in the early 2000s. He had his first gaming article published in The Black Seal in 2003 and his first Chaosium publication “Darkest Calling” in [[The Stars Are Right! Second Edition|The Stars Are Right!]] in 2004. His next project for Chaosium was to expand Keith Herber’s original [[Spawn of Azathoth Second Edition|Spawn of Azathoth]] campaign. He is the author of the scenario “Beyond the Edges” appearing in [[Secrets of San Francisco]]. David's next big project for Chaosium was the [[Secrets of Kenya]] sourcebook.

As an illustrator for the game David has produced maps and artwork for the supplements [[Secrets of Kenya]], [[The Stars Are Right! Second Edition|The Stars Are Right!]], [[Spawn of Azathoth Second Edition|Spawn of Azathoth]], [[Secrets of New York|Secrets of New York]], ''[[Miskatonic University (Supplement)|Miskatonic University]]'' and [[Secrets of San Francisco]].

Apart from ''The Black Seal'', Call of Cthulhu magazines that have featured his work include ''Book of Dark Wisdom'', ''The Whisperer'' and ''Worlds of Cthulhu''. He collaborated on several of these articles with the Mythos authors [[William Jones]] and [[Daniel Harms]], amongst others.

A speculative fiction author, David also writes tales of the Cthulhu Mythos. His first publication was “Screaming Crawler” in 2003 appearing in the first issue of ''Dreaming in R’lyeh'' and his first professional sale was “Vanishing Curves” appearing in the Book of Dark Wisdom in 2004. Other Mythos fiction has appeared in the anthologies ''Horrors Beyond'', ''Cthulhu Express'', ''Hardboiled Cthulhu'' and ''Arkham Tales''. Many of David’s fictional creations appear in his gaming supplements and vis versa. In 2004 David joined the staff of the ''Book of Dark Wisdom'' as the magazine’s first Associate Editor.

David’s contributions to the Cthulhu Mythos include the Arabian Nights style tome ''The Masked Messenger'', and the ongoing fiction character [[Major Harrison Peel]].

Nyarlathotep

2006-03-24T20:24:37Z

David conyers:

'''Nyarlathotep''' (the ''Crawling Chaos'') is a [[fictional character]] in the [[Cthulhu mythos]] of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. He is one of the cosmic [[Outer God]]s and appears in the works of Lovecraft and [[August Derleth]], among others.


==Nyarlathotep in the mythos==
{{SectOR}}
Nyarlathotep differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are exiled to stars, like [[Yog-Sothoth]] and [[Hastur]], or sleeping and dreaming like [[Cthulhu]]; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the [[Earth]] in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. Most of them have their own cults serving them, while Nyarlathotep seems to serve them and take care of their affairs in their absence. Most of them use strange alien languages, while Nyarlathotep uses human languages and can be mistaken for a human being. Finally, most of them are all powerful yet purposeless, yet Nyarlathotep seems to be deliberately deceptive and manipulative, and even uses [[propaganda]] to achieve his goals. In this regard, he is probably the most human-like among them.

Nyarlathotep enacts the will of the Outer Gods, and is their messenger, heart and soul; he is also a servant of [[Azathoth]], whose wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, causing madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to Nyarlathotep.{{Rn|Harms-218}} In this sense, he strongly resembles the traditional role of the [[devil]].{{fact}}

According to the Necronomicon, Nyarlathotep will play some part in the End Time. It is stated that he will allow [[Nygotha]] to wipe the Earth clean in preparation for the return of the Great Old Ones - although it doesn't specify how Nyarlathotep will accomplish this. It also fails to mention any timeframe for this to occur, although it would presumably be after the fall of Xothique some 5,000 years in the future.{{fact}}

==Table of Nyarlathotep's forms==

Nyarlathotep has many forms (some literature refers to these forms as Masks and claims that he has a thousand of them) and is thus known by different avatars.

===Overview===

This table is organized as follows:

* ''Name''. This is the name of Nyarlathotep's form.
* ''Region''. This is the geographical location where Nyarlathotep's form is active.
* ''Description''. This entry describes Nyarlathotep's form.
* ''Notes''. This field contains additional information.
* ''References''. This field lists the sources that contain references to Nyarlathotep's form. If the source is a story, it is denoted by a two-letter code—the key to the codes is found [[Cthulhu mythos reference codes and bibliography|here]]. Otherwise, the source is denoted as follows:

==Quotations==
<blockquote>
And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences - of electricity and psychology - and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude. Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep, and shuddered. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of a nightmare.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "Nyarlathotep"
</blockquote>

<blockquote>What his fate would be, he did not know; but he felt that he was held for the coming of that frightful soul and messenger of infinity's Other Gods, the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, ''[[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]''
</blockquote>

<blockquote>There was the immemorial figure of the deputy or messenger of hidden and terrible powers - the 'Black Man' of the witch cult, and the 'Nyarlathotep' of the Necronomicon.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "The Dreams in the Witch House"
</blockquote>

<blockquote>There are references to a Haunter of the Dark awaked by gazing into the [[Shining Trapezohedron]], and insane conjectures about the black gulfs from which it was called. The being is spoken of as holding all knowledge, and demanding monstrous sacrifices.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]"
</blockquote>

Nyarlathotep

2006-03-24T20:20:26Z

David conyers:

'''Nyarlathotep''' (the ''Crawling Chaos'') is a [[fictional character]] in the [[Cthulhu mythos]] of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. He is one of the cosmic [[Outer God]]s and appears in the works of Lovecraft and [[August Derleth]], among others.


==Nyarlathotep in the mythos==
{{SectOR}}
Nyarlathotep differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are exiled to stars, like [[Yog-Sothoth]] and [[Hastur]], or sleeping and dreaming like [[Cthulhu]]; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the [[Earth]] in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. Most of them have their own cults serving them, while Nyarlathotep seems to serve them and take care of their affairs in their absence. Most of them use strange alien languages, while Nyarlathotep uses human languages and can be mistaken for a human being. Finally, most of them are all powerful yet purposeless, yet Nyarlathotep seems to be deliberately deceptive and manipulative, and even uses [[propaganda]] to achieve his goals. In this regard, he is probably the most human-like among them.

Nyarlathotep enacts the will of the Outer Gods, and is their messenger, heart and soul; he is also a servant of [[Azathoth]], whose wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, causing madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to Nyarlathotep.{{Rn|Harms-218}} In this sense, he strongly resembles the traditional role of the [[devil]].{{fact}}

According to the Necronomicon, Nyarlathotep will play some part in the End Time. It is stated that he will allow [[Nygotha]] to wipe the Earth clean in preparation for the return of the Great Old Ones - although it doesn't specify how Nyarlathotep will accomplish this. It also fails to mention any timeframe for this to occur, although it would presumably be after the fall of Xothique some 5,000 years in the future.{{fact}}

==Table of Nyarlathotep's forms==

Nyarlathotep has many forms (some literature refers to these forms as Masks and claims that he has a thousand of them) and is thus known by different avatars.

===Overview===

This table is organized as follows:

* ''Name''. This is the name of Nyarlathotep's form.
* ''Region''. This is the geographical location where Nyarlathotep's form is active.
* ''Description''. This entry describes Nyarlathotep's form.
* ''Notes''. This field contains additional information.
* ''References''. This field lists the sources that contain references to Nyarlathotep's form. If the source is a story, it is denoted by a two-letter code—the key to the codes is found [[Cthulhu mythos reference codes and bibliography|here]]. Otherwise, the source is denoted as follows:

**''MofN'' means the ''Masks of Nyarlathotep'' web site.

==Quotations==
<blockquote>
And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences - of electricity and psychology - and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude. Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep, and shuddered. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of a nightmare.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "Nyarlathotep"
</blockquote>

<blockquote>What his fate would be, he did not know; but he felt that he was held for the coming of that frightful soul and messenger of infinity's Other Gods, the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, ''[[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]''
</blockquote>

<blockquote>There was the immemorial figure of the deputy or messenger of hidden and terrible powers - the 'Black Man' of the witch cult, and the 'Nyarlathotep' of the Necronomicon.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "The Dreams in the Witch House"
</blockquote>

<blockquote>There are references to a Haunter of the Dark awaked by gazing into the [[Shining Trapezohedron]], and insane conjectures about the black gulfs from which it was called. The being is spoken of as holding all knowledge, and demanding monstrous sacrifices.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]"
</blockquote>

==Appearances==
*Outside the Lovecraft mythos, Nyarlathotep appears in the ''[[Persona (video game)|Persona]]'' series of [[PlayStation]] games as a god symbolic of the destructive potential of [[Carl Jung]]'s collective unconsciousness, humanity's collective soul.

==Quotations==
<blockquote>
And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences - of electricity and psychology - and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude. Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep, and shuddered. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of a nightmare.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "Nyarlathotep"
</blockquote>

<blockquote>What his fate would be, he did not know; but he felt that he was held for the coming of that frightful soul and messenger of infinity's Other Gods, the crawling chaos Nyarlathotep.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, ''[[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]''
</blockquote>

<blockquote>There was the immemorial figure of the deputy or messenger of hidden and terrible powers - the 'Black Man' of the witch cult, and the 'Nyarlathotep' of the Necronomicon.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "The Dreams in the Witch House"
</blockquote>

<blockquote>There are references to a Haunter of the Dark awaked by gazing into the [[Shining Trapezohedron]], and insane conjectures about the black gulfs from which it was called. The being is spoken of as holding all knowledge, and demanding monstrous sacrifices.
 —H.P. Lovecraft, "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]"
</blockquote>

David conyers:

[[Image:david-conyers.jpg|thumb|David Conyers, ''Call of Cthulhu'' author & artist.]]
'''David Conyers''', ''born Sydney, Australia, May 30th 1971. Writer, illustrator and editor.''

An Australian author whose childhood was spent in Oxford in the United Kingdom and the Adelaide Hills. He moved to Melbourne in his late teenage years and attended the University of Melbourne where he completed a degree in Civil Engineering in 1993. Once qualified he worked across Australia on several remote outback construction projects including a foundations project for a casino in Melbourne, a pipeline in the Pilbara, and a mining processing plant in central Western Australia.

In 1995 David travelled to Africa with fellow writer [[David Witteveen]] visiting Zimbabwe, Zambia and Kenya. His exposure to African culture and thier vastly different standards of living had a profound influence on his writing ever since.

In the mid to late 1990s David transitioned from engineering to marketing communications. He married in 2003 and moved to Adelaide with his wife in 2005.

David’s first published Call of Cthulhu scenario was [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/Devil%27s_Children Devil’s Children], Pagan Publishing’s first professionally bound full colour-cover book, co-written with David Witteveen and David Godley, and released in 1993. It was during this period that he wrote and presented Call of Cthulhu supplements at Melbourne gaming conventions with fellow writers [[Richard Watts]], [[Mark Morrison]], Penelope Love and [[David Witteveen]].

David returned to writing in the early 2000s. He had his first gaming article published in The Black Seal in 2003 and his first Chaosium publication “Darkest Calling” in [[The Stars Are Right! Second Edition|The Stars Are Right!]] in 2004. His next project for Chaosium was to expand Keith Herber’s original [[Spawn of Azathoth Second Edition|Spawn of Azathoth]] campaign. He is the author of the scenario “Beyond the Edges” appearing in ''Secrets of San Francisco''.

As an illustrator for the game David has produced maps and artwork for the supplements [[The Stars Are Right! Second Edition|The Stars Are Right!]], [[Spawn of Azathoth Second Edition|Spawn of Azathoth]], [[Secrets of New York|Secrets of New York]], ''Miskatonic University'' and ''Secrets of San Francisco''.

Apart from ''The Black Seal'', Call of Cthulhu magazines that have featured his work include ''Book of Dark Wisdom'', ''The Whisperer'' and ''Worlds of Cthulhu''. He collaborated on several of these articles with the Mythos authors [[William Jones]] and Daniel Harms, amongst others.

Major Harrison Peel

2006-01-21T22:16:05Z

David conyers:

Major Harrison Peel of Australian Army Intelligence is an ongoing fictional character appearing in several weird science fiction stories by [[David Conyers]]. Although a contemporary character, Peel’s world is one plagued by time travel and causality, dimensional gates, alien monsters, strange worlds and bizarre physics. He has travelled to all the far corners of the world to combat these alien intrusions into our dimension wherever they occur.

Peel’s first encounter with the Cthulhu Mythos was in the early 2000s while he was stationed in South East Asia fighting Tcho-Tcho terrorists.

His next assignment was head of internal security for a secret Australian operation in the deserts of Western Australia, studying the city of the Great Race of Yith and the strange artefact discovered there, the Impossible Object. Scientific discoveries on that project lead to an American corporation developing an environmental technology of zero waste. This flawed use of alien technology ultimately released an extra-dimensional being onto the earth which almost destroyed the planet, which Peel and his peers through some hardship managed to advert.

Published Harrison Peel tales in chronological order include “Made of Meat” (Temple of Dagon), “Impossible Object” (Dreaming in R’lyeh), “Reversed Terror” (Horror Carousel) and “False Containment” (Horrors Beyond).

[[Image:richard-watts.jpg|thumb|Richard Watts, ''Call of Cthulhu'' author.]]
'''Richard Leigh Watts''', ''born Bendigo, Australia, July 6th 1967. Writer, role-player, broadcaster and arts-worker.''

After a childhood and adolesence in regional Australia spent absorbing a range of media celebrating the horrific and the fantastic, Richard began playing '''Call of Cthulhu''' circa 1984, in his final year of high school.

Thanks to the support of close friend Mark Morrison, Richard submitted his first Cthulhu scenario, 'A Little Knowledge', to Chaosium in 1989. It was published the following year in Keith Herber's ''Arkham Unveiled'', and was recently republished in Chaosium's new Miskatonic University sourcebook, in late 2005.

In the intervening years Richard contributed a range of Cthulhu scenarios to Chaosium publications, including 'Tatterdemallion', co-authored with fellow-Australian Penelope Love, 'Love's Lonely Children' in the Cthulhu Now collection [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/The_Stars_Are_Right%21_Second_Edition The Stars Are Right!,] and 'Behold the Mother' in 1998's ''Dead Reckonings''. In addition he has contributed a body of work for the '''Elric!''' and '''Stormbringer''' role-playing games, also published by Chaosium, and also for several White Wolf role-playing games in the mid-1990's.

Outside of role-playing, Richard has written an array of short stories, essays, articles and reviews for a range of Australian publications, including journals, newspapers, anthologies and newspapers, although he wishes he was more prolific and more disciplined.

Since 1989 he has worked part-time as a DJ in numerous punk, gothic, gay and alternative clubs in Melbourne, and has been a broadcaster with community broadcaster [http://www.rrr.org.au/ 3RRR FM] since 1993, where he currently presents the weekly arts program ''Smartarts''.

David conyers:

The Black Seal is a horror gaming magazine supporting the Call of Cthulhu game in the modern era as well as the Delta Green setting. Published by Birchester University Press in the United Kingdom, the majority of the content is focused on Britian and Europe. The magazine is edited by Adam Crossingham and regular contributors include [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/David_Conyers David Conyers], [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/Daniel_Harms Daniel Harms] and Brian M. Sammons.

'''The Black Seal Issue Three'''

Alien cultures. Strange things and even stranger places. The third issue of ''The Black Seal'' embarks on a whirlwind world tour of the weird and the not-so-wonderful; offering a terrifying glimpse into the darker corners of this strange, mad planet we all live on, and the bizarre things we share it with. Prepare yourself, quite literally, for a Holiday in Hell.

'''The Black Seal Issue Two'''

Who watches the Watchmen? The second issue of ''The Black Seal'' delves into the secret history of the deadliest branch of Britain's security apparatus, the Paranormal Intelligence Section for Counter-Intelligence, Espionage and Sabotage - better known as PISCES. We examine the Hidden Agenda of Britain's secret chiefs and the geography of the Captive State they have laboured to create.

'''The Black Seal Issue One'''

The theme of ''The Black Seal's'' first issue is Strange Britain. Inside, we expose the bizarre and mysterious landscape of these haunted isles; - the ancient and forbidden knowledge of antiquity; the secrets of the modern-day conspiracy; the forgotten, dangerous places of power and mystery. ''The Black Seal'' is your guide to the Secret Country behind the mundane facade of everyday life in Britain.
