Other small bitsAll the "senior" members of the coven live nearby and use the house as their lab/greenhouse/library/etc.  Some work at the college in various roles, helping to identify pre-awakened. The house has one resident techno-type, an internet addicted-shut in who only communicates through the home intercom.  His name is Linus and every time he 'coms, it has an audio cue of the "linus & Lucy" riff (da-da-dun-dadada-da-da).  He is never seen and the PCs may come to suspect he is a spirit/AI/ghost in the machine/quadriplegic.  Linus enjoys this and will never reject nor deny any theory.The house has a basement full of "thesis projects" from prior students, mostly the handful of trchnology-centric types whose work is not appreciated by the sorcery/granola crowd, but also some "too fragile to use except in emergencies" or "too useful to destroy but too many undesirable side effects to use on a regular basis" objects.  This gives you a pile of Harry Potter-esque whatsits to place out there.  For fun be sure to have the warning labels damaged, illegible, or lost. If possible try to get a PC to accidentally make a few vanish.  One of mine replaces the old sheets covering the machines with new ones and at least one taped-on warning sign went with the old sheet. * an old tube TV that can display any movie, even the ones never made, but the commercials & news breaks are for other dimensions & times, and are often disturbing.    The picture quality gets better the longer you watch it and the screen grows.  A safety frame is built around it to power it down at 79" in size.  No one is sure what would happen at 80".<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">TV-based teleporter, but it only works with analog tube TVs set to a "static" channel and you crawl out the tv.  If the teleporter got turned on/left on accidentally, the infinite-movie TV has mice come out occasionally as they change channels.  Depending on how long the a creature was in static-space, there can be side effects.  You can have fun with Poltergeist/The Ring esque events from something/someone trapped inside.  Maybe it's Linus.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">there was an art thing (an easel? Chisel? ) but I can't remember that one.</li> </ul></blockquote>
