Also, Brears was dumb. He basically said "You're R'yleh" point blank.

On a date, so can't talk more now. Just wanted to pop in and say hi! I've been looking forward to this thread since you mentioned it earlier, and I spent most of the day going through my Lovecraft board games.

Real DMT also can't be snorted. "DMT-7" is some kind of fictional variant.

Courtyard, Neonomicon and presumably Providence take place in some kind of alternate history... does anyone what the hell is up with the domes?

Any theories on what the fuck that mural is supposed to be? I find it creepy as hell.

>>88375920
Seriously. Tekeli-li doesn't even rhyme.

>>88377259
I believe the general consensus is that it's a part of the dreamlands.

The thing in the foreground is mean to be another version of Nyarlathotep, who is also known as "the dark man". And doesn't it just look vaguely humanoid?

>>88377310
Back when Neomonicon #4 was taking aeons to come out I had a dream that the series would end with Brears walking into the mural and showing us what was on the other side, and we'd see that... thing... from the front. And it would be something so hideous that all readers would drop dead from fright upon turning the page, or go insane.

>>88377367
I wouldn't mind if a version of that happened in the grand finale.
With Johnny getting subsumed into the larger entity that is Nyarlathotep.

I was expecting that to be his form when they got to the Haunter of the Dark issue of Providence.

>>88353536
That's so cartoonish looking compared to Providence.
