Hello, just read the pdf-Primer and seeing that Germany is now 'Ground Zero' for the second intrusion of the Red Death I thought that maybe you are interested in this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wewelsburg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(occult_symbol)

For Imhotep it was a pyramid, the Nazis had the Wewelsburg.
The Black Sun symbol found there is in my opion something that could depict the spread of the Red Death like a spiders web.
Also interesting might be the prophecy of a war between east and west found in the wiki-article and Himmler's secret safe whose contents vanished.
Living in Rietberg, a town quite near I will quickly contact the local cell of 'Die Wächter' (its spelled without an 'n' at the end) that the Red Death has returned in our own backyard. :(
The Gem of Amara...
Official sponsor, of my killing you.

Well, Mengele was October 25th, Frankenstiein November 25th, so Ching Shih should be...December 25th. Oh wait, that passed already, didn't it? And we only announced the monthly subject on December 17th? :oops:

Joel's been away for a while. Not sure if he got any entries. Let's say January 17th to give you a full month?

The Winning Wendigo Writeup Was Winged our Way by Nathan of the FoS!*

*(we haven't said this explicitly before, but it should be noted that in cases where one of the FoS submits an entry for this contest, he or she is exempt from the voting process for that month.)

Congratulations, Nathan!

And the darklord for March is.... Fu Manchu! Let's see what the original Evil Overlord is up to in 2012 on Gothic Earth! (Entries due 4/3)

It's about damn time! GREAT idea. Been waiting/wanting/working on stuff like this for years. I even started my brief d20 Modern campaign on this very Gothic Earth messageboard. My idea was to update all the old Grand Conjunction modules into d20 Modern adaptations. So it goes without saying I absolutely CHAMPION this project and think this is the key to keeping Ravenloft alive in the future. Thanks for bringing it to the light, Rucht!!!
