"In Entertainment news today, New York rock band Charnel Dreams and their label, Conqueror Worm Records, have once again found themselves in hot water. The controversy comes from the band's newly released single "Buried, Uninterred". The song, released ahead of Charnel Dreams' upcoming album "The Looking Glass" makes allusions to the ongoing hunt for the Subway Butcher and the Butcher's crimes, including explicit lyrics detailing the murder of the Butcher's first victim, Dianne Carroway, in 1996. The song then goes on to allude that the victims live with the Butcher in a highly explicit subterranean afterlife together. The FBI, who have been investigating the murders for three years, were asked for a comment, we have yet to hear any reply.

And in other news, in two weeks it will be the one-year anniversary of the Townshend Flood. The Flood was believed to have been caused by an accidental explosion that significantly damaged a dam upriver of the town of Townshend, Vermont, that had been erected by U.S Army Corps of Engineers decades prior. We'll bring special coverage on this in a moment, including the impact the floods have had on the local area, the lives lost in the flood and its aftermath, and some of the unaswered questions that have lingered since then. We'll be right back..."

An Exploration of Tsan-Chan

Introduction In a bleak and harrowing future, humanity persists against the unremitting horror of the Great Old Ones. The last bastion of humanity, struggling with gritted teeth, is known to its denizens, and those unlucky few who have glimpsed it down the lightless halls of time, as TSAN-CHAN.  Many believe Tsan-Chan will be ruled by the Kuen-Yuin, the caste of priest-kings of ancient Mu, invoking the hideous and ineffable powers of the Lloigor, offering sacrifices and conducting obscene rituals to appease their god-masters, Cthulhu and Ghatanothoa. Others believe that the priest-kings merely invoke these powers emptily in prayers and in threats, when in truth their patrons have long since left the barren husk of Earth for other realms. The truly deranged claim the Kuen-Yuin have found, even created, new and hideous god-masters that rule Tsan-Chan.  Many believe its existence is not compatible with the designs of the Great Race of Yith, who have mandated that humanity must be...

WIDOWMAKERS: Master Post

Image
In the Fall of 1998, a drug dealer from Boston is found dead, several states away in a coastal town in Connecticut. Though the cause of death is initially ruled a suicide, the FBI office in Boston demands to be shown the body for examination, as the man had once been a confidential informant for the Bureau, who suspects a mob hit. The FBI autopsy reveals the bizarre state of the man's insides, almost melted. The case comes across A-Cell's desk, the state of the man's corpse, and the detail that in his final months he had moved to Connecticut to join an "Alternative Medicine Research Group" convinces them to launch an investigation.   WIDOWMAKERS was one the first full-length scenarios that I wrote and ran for Delta Green. It has evolved over three iterations into the scenario it is now, the playtest for which actually sparked my ongoing Belli Occulta campaign.  It began life initially as a really hollow knock-off of the Sowers cult from the Labyrinth, but was give...

BELLI OCCULTA: Introduction

  One evening in April 2023 I decided to run a game. It would be a month from then, once I had returned from the UK and could run Delta Green again. The scenario was "Widowmakers", a brand-new rendition of the scenario, version 3. The first two didn't satisfy me. The changes I made for version 3 were to wind the clock back to 1997 and include Majestic-12 as the overarching villains for the scenario.  I ran it with some people I hardly new and by the end of the scenario I was convinced I wanted to run a campaign with them. So we did. We ran "Speak of the Devil" and many, many more. I was interested in going against what was established in the expanded lore of the Delta Green Handler's Guide, and to have the actions of the players influence the outcome of the story, and how things would ultimately shape up. This new setting eventually started including branching storylines, following other cells as they combatted the Skoptsi, the Karotechia, Tadjbegskaya Bratv...
