Thank you. I was trying to think of the name of the Palladium horror game just the other day, during a discussion of Call of Cthulhu, and I couldn't for the life of me think of it. (That'd be BtS. Rifts is the Palladium horrible game. Unless that's Robotech. Never play a Palladium game Erick Wujcik didn't write.)

I always preferred to think that the dedication stone in the middle of the Quad marked one; that was probably because of all the brick pathways that cross there. (That's why it's an outlet for the Gate of the Worlds in Ohtori Academy Spring Semester Blues; well, that and because I didn't want poor Wakaba materializing on the roof of Skull Tomb. :)
