Bleeding Darkness Master Post

-

Based on the Microfiction by Shane Ivey.  

“And in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them.” - Revelation, 9:6

Delta Green has been notified of a developing situation in Brooklyn that requires the conspiracy's attention. A grisly murder of a Catholic Priest, and a cover-up apparently orchestrated by the church itself are just compliments to the real horror - that the priest is gradually rising from the dead. 

Bleeding Darkness is a scenario set in the 90s for a group of 3-5 players, and takes 2-3 sessions to complete. 

PART ONE details the backstory, timeline, important characters and locations, and the Agent's briefing. 

PART TWO details some of the events that develop as the clock ticks forward, how the agents can connect the dots between Father Casimir and his killers, and the statblocks.

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...

The Skoptsi: Yelena's Notes

-
YELENA’S NOTES A disorganized jumble of papers contains the journals, experiment logs, enemy lists, and recipes of Yelena Kalamatiano. These documents represent a lifetime’s work of pursuing the mysteries of The Magna Mater. Though I-Cell has come to know it by other names, The Black Goat of the Woods, Sheela Na-Gig, Shub-Niggurath. Whatever it is.  The documents provide a basic outline of the Skoptsi theological and cosmological beliefs, and some of the routine operations undertaken by them in Moscow-on-the-Chesapeake.  The intelligence of this book will prove invaluable to I-Cell efforts in destroying the Skoptsi.  Below are some of the spells invented and learned by Kalamatiano in her many, many years.  BECKON THE ARCHANGEL OF THE MAGNA MATER Elaborate Ritual. Study Time, WEEKS ; 1d10 SAN, +1 Unnatural, Casting Time: HOURS, 1D6 SAN, 12 WP This ritual beckons for an “Archangel of the Magna Mater”, an enormous and horrific creature resembling a tree, an alligator, a...
