The titular "Fractal Gods" is a ''fanzine'' that sends [=CDs=] with fractal-based screensavers, one of which is infected by a virus coded by a Yog-Sothoth cultist, which makes the computer summon fractal-based creatures and Yog-Sothoth's fractal form.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: A French RPG publisher is retranslating sourcebooks and modules and publishing them as premium quality hardcovers with reworked interior art and layout, including several long out-of-print in English, for both ''Call'' and ''DeltaGreen'', and is quite successful at it. The consensus among several English-speaking fan communities is that anyone literate in French should get these books, especially the 30th anniversary edition core book.

* NightmareFuel: All the typical Lovecraft stuff; cosmic horror, zombies, unfathomably ancient aliens etc...But then consider all the other mythos writers' creations that show up...And then add in some of the scenario writers' creations.
** Y'golonac, the god of the bad touch. (YOU FOOL! [[SpeakOfTheDevil YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL!!]])
*** [[DeltaGreen Only if sock puppets are involved.]]
** The monster that causes the problems in the scenario [[spoiler: Crack'd and Crook'd Manse]]. A particularly graphic description plus the investigators realising just how big it is can call for a pretty rapid exit strategy from the characters. And the players.
** The scenario ''The Colour of his Eyes'' from the UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco sourcebook. A man has a Colour Out Of Space (basically a form of sentient, malevolent light) trapped in his eyes, and he drains the energy from (and kills) anything he looks at.
