So, now you need to decide. Do you close your eyes to what you've seen and go back to sleep? Or do you come with this psycho burnout and do the impossible against the unbelievable and keep the future at bay for another day? What's it going to be? In or out?Yeah?

Even if the answer is really "no" at that point just let them dig their own rabbit hole to go down. Not!Scientology might be putting alien spores in people's heads but your players are too busy making their massacre of a high school A/V club look like a mass suicide.
Do you guys have a good resource for convincing looking NPC images? Generally matching the rulebook vibe so more photo looking, less stylized and no slop.

Anyone know some scenarios that really have a Halloween feeling? And I'm talking like something to do with the actual holiday or the fall season, not just being spooky. Thought about adapting Music From A Darkened Room for the conspiracy era for a game on Halloween, but any little shotgun scenarios would be appreciated as well.
>>96702089I was thinking of running DG for Halloween and thought about asking the same thing, but I am a babby who has never run DG before. So I guess I'll turn the question back to you, what would you suggest?I'm already looking up MFADR to see if I can run it as a oneshot.
>>96702701Well like the first anon said, Last Things Last is THE staple first scenario for beginners. If you want a haunted house experience, I'd say the official scenario Music From A Darkened Room, which I don't think would be too hard to run.
>>96702089The Haunting is a classic haunted house, just have to gin up a slightly different hook to fit with DG.
>>96705525Cheers, I will investigate these. We've played CoC on-and-off but getting into DG mindset has been a little difficult at times.>>96705747For CoC I'd recommend The Haunting, it's very versatile so you can mix it up any way you want. For DG I'd be a little sceptical, but it probably isn't hard to xfiles-ify it.
>>96705881>Cheers, I will investigate theseThis made me think of a scenario where the group is tasked with vetting and recruiting 2-3 potentially useful future agents, by sending/accompanying them to a low urgency investigation (of course the potential recruits are giant fuck ups and as a result the low urgency investigation turns into top priority crisis)
>>96706021>The knife is loose>THE KNIFE IS LOOSE!
>>96688323ocdonutsteel>What shotgun scenario are you writing?Someone is stalking and harassing a DG cell assets and several Friendlies, leaving accusatory threatening messages daubed on their cars and houses - "you have no soul" and "your deeds will not go unpunished" and the like.Find out who, find out what they know, make the in-public stuff stop.>What twists are you planning?The Friendlies are not connected in any clear way to the Cell, as far as DG knows.The guy's wife "died suddenly", and as a result of publishing her obituary on line he's being trolled by keyword searching anti-vaxxers. He's actually engaged in a vigilante intimidation campaign against dozens of too-online anti-vaxx trolls, it just so happens that some of the DG cell blow off steam by being unpleasant online, and the Friendlies are DG-glowies monitoring the Q culture.I haven't started writing anything - not until the comp starts - but I'm letting it stew.I think there is something potentially really interesting about showing your players a bunch of people further down the DG road than their characters, who are turning themselves into cry-wolf victims as a result of their own actions and coincidence and paranoia, rather than anything unnatural.
I'm looking at running delta green as a system next for my group, I have a couple of scenarios in mind and would really appreciate any input on if they'd work in the system or advice and stuff i could add to them!The first investigation involves a Phoenix being smuggled through the black market and it's feathers being sold as a miracle drug, I can't quite decide if the horror should come from horrific side effects or a doctor trying to effectively use it to better society and the cell being required to find a way to put down/ a majestic animal that regenerates.Scenario 2 involves the cell collecting and escorting a chess master to a game with eldritch being, I haven't fleshed this one out much at all yet.
>>96713364Both sound like the horror would come from the fucked up things the humans involved would do.The phoenix drug sounds like it is a shoe-in for the classic "big pharma hit squad" trope, and the investigation being a combo of classic drug network investigation and a whole lot of true believers that want to protect the doc for good moral reasons.The chess master one currently sounds like short story not a scenario.
So what are people's thoughts on the various Outer Gods and how they are used in Delta Green?
>>96702089You already mentioned Music which is pretty good. Look up From the Dust from Dead Drops that's pretty good too. You get a lunar deadline so that can be appropriately spooky for Halloween
>>96713513Thanks! People trying to protect the doctor is definitely a good idea.For the chess master, I was thinking maybe he's a bit sleazy so while the agents are trying to keep em' sober and on track there are attempts being made at swapping him out with a fake or eliminating him by people that want humanity to lose the game. The agents would have to either dispose or discredit the chess master after so that nobody finds out about it. If things go awry and one of the agents has to play I was thinking a good twist could be that the being actually sucks at chess and only does this so it can watch the scramble to placate it, this functions as a quid pro qo with delta green to draw out antagonistic forces as well. I feel like it needs a little extra something to not seem 'beneath' it,I'm also worried it might be a unsatisfying to the players to hit the 'pawns in a cosmic game' kinda tropes so squarely too
>>96717881yeah from dust could definitely fit the vibe
>>96688323Nice image
What do y'all think is a good way to cap off a campaign that starts around '94 and ends around 2000? That's what I've been stuck trying to think of. I'm having the war with Majestic play a large part with at least 1-2 scenarios per in-game year dealing with them. Also tossing in Karotechia and thought about making some Itha-qua and Yigg recurring elements.
>>96688762So I get that satanic imagery is kind of part in parcel with a lot of cults but I'm curious how often cults just leave that stuff around to throw people off their scent or just fuck with the normie authorities.
>>96728983I knew a guy like this. He would leave fake evidence of the occult in places, artificially aged notes, leave scratch marks on stuff. He also glued googly eyes to office objects so as you'd pick it up you'd be surprised by a sudden googly eyed face. Legend has it he works at MI6 now, or he just went crazy and left the internet, who knows. He was a funny guy though. I would not put it past him to create a ritual sacrifice room in his home before vacating it, just to fuck with whoever got it next.
>>96717819End it with 9/11.
