Scenario Outline: Crescendo

Image
Crescendo - Operation DRAW On August 2nd, 2002, Kurtis Cameron Boyd, a record producer for Conqueror Worm Records, enters the Record label's office armed with a pump-action shotgun and a jerry can of gasoline. He kills three people with close-range shotgun blasts before he enters the recording studio where Charnel Dreams have been recording their latest album,  The Goddess of the Black Fan,  where he douses recording equipment, instruments, and master recordings in gasoline and sets it alight in an attempt to destroy the music and the entire recording studio. By the time he exits the burning recording studio, police and the fire department are on their way. He proceeds to his office and pours himself a large whiskey, downs it, and turns the gun on himself.  Conqueror Worm Records is a known property of Robert Hubert, known in the occult underground as Belial, also the manager of Club Apocalypse and its house band, Charnel Dreams. Belial is a deadly, violent man and a...

Scenario Outline: Stoking the Coals

  Stoking the Coals - Operation HOLLOW HILL II This scenario is especially niche and not really worth writing because it is a sequel to a 90s version of Language of the Stars .  Delta Green has caught wind of a developing situation that will require immediate, decisive action to resolve before it gets out of control. Saucerwatch, a UFO conspiracy publication that has dogged the heels of Delta Green agents in the past, has recently hired Doretta Wynch, a hard-nosed investigative journalist from Baltimore, to delve into the case of the so-called "Colorado Walking Man" of 1998.  The "Colorado Walking Man" is the term coined by the UFOlogy community at large for a series of strange weather events, lightning strikes, and wildfires across Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, and Wyoming for a period of about three days in May, 1998. The Walking Man (named so for the pattern of lightning strikes reported by alleged witnesses who described the lightning strikes falling like ...

Scenario Outline: Radicals

 Radicals - Operation PALINDROME This one I recently ran for my Wednesday group to great success, but the sandbox nature of it means that it would really just turn into a giant writeup of setpieces and "what ifs" that frankly I'm not interested in penning, not to mention that the setting for this would require a lot of research I honestly don't have the interest to do. In August, 2000. A confidential report inside the FBI's organized crime task force crosses the desk of Matthew Carpenter, Deputy Director of the FBI and Agent ADAM of A-Cell. The report details continued arms smuggling into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland by the Irish Mob post-Good Friday Agreement. A testimony given by confidential informant is what raises eyebrows. The informant claims to have attended a sit-down mediated by an ex-fixer of the PIRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army) between the Irish Mob and a delegate from the  Army of the Third Eye . Having just recovered from the ...

An Exploration of the Exalted Circle

Image
Cthulhu, of course, still waits and still dreams. He still has his worshippers, but they are mostly strong-willed individuals who are not part of the Cult, and who worship Cthulhu in secret, to achieve their own personal goals. Rarely do they work together, as they often do not even know of each other's existence. Should you begin to examine the rich and powerful of the world, you would find a surprising number who pay tribute to Cthulhu. They do this secretly, and alone.  Sometime soon, however, the dreams will come, their eyes will be opened, and they will realize that they are not alone in their adoration of the dweller in the deep. At that time, the Cult of Cthulhu will be reborn, made up now of the cream of society, commerce, and politics; at that time, they will do all they can to orchestrate the events of the End Time. Until then, they are each alone, and may perhaps be dealt with. But there are so many, so very many...      - Delta Green , Pagan Publishing. 1...

Benno Wertheim, Karotechia Bischofe, Guest of the Propavsheye

Benno Wertheim was recruited to the Karotechia cause in 1978 by Dr. Olaf Bitterich. His grandfather was an officer of the Ahnenerbe SS during the Second World War who had helped translate numerous scriptures from old Gothic and Latin into modern German. Wertheim had inherited his father's wealth and some of his notes, which puzzled him and filled with curiosity that later bloomed into obsession.  Wertheim was quickly won over to the Karotechia cause, and after being instructed in esoterica by Dr. Bitterich and made one of the twelve Bischofe, he was put to work collecting and researching the work of various alchemists and occult scholars across Europe. What he uncovered often overlapped with the research of Dr. Gunter Franks, and the two occasionally met to compare notes (and, for Wertheim, to spy on Franks for Bitterich).  When the Karotechia was dismantled in 2001 by the combined forces of the Americans and the Russians, Wertheim found himself in the living custody of the Pr...
