Call of Cthulhu – Leaflet Mission II

by  • 

It was around 18:00 hours on Sunday, February 25, 1945, when the crew of the Big Money, a Boeing B-17 bomber with the 492nd Bomb Group, 406th Bomb Squadron Night Leaflet Squadron of the 8th Army Air Force, entered the mess hall at Cheddington Airfield in Buckinghamshire, England. It was unusual, to say the least, as the crew usually met with the crew of their sister ship, the Pretty Lady, in the Mail Briefing Room for pre-flight pre-briefings.

On March 29, 2014, at CaesarCon 2014, I ran the original Call of Cthulhu Scenario “Leaflet Mission II” to learn the fate of the sister ship to the Pretty Lady, the B-17 Bomber in Leaflet Mission. My players were with Scott, Adam, Terina, Natalie, Stephen, Chris, D.J., Lilly, Matt, and Josh. We had a full crew of 10 players for the 10 positions on the bomber.

Delta Green – Big Trouble in Little Mina

by  • 

When a Delta Green friendly from Toledo, Ohio, turns up missing, it’s up to agents from the local Delta Green cell to track him down. If he’s in trouble, he must be rescued. If he’s been compromised, he must be silenced. In any case, it must be done quietly and with discretion.

Two Delta Green Agents and a Delta Green friendly are sent to investigate. Harold Warring, codename Ulf, was a field agent for the FBI in Toledo and had secretly been an agent of Delta Green since2001, when something flew out of the sky during an investigation on an island on Lake Erie and killed two other field agents. Ian MacElroy, codename Umberto, worked for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in Athens, Ohio. He had also worked for Delta Green since 2012, when he stumbled into some kind of strange plot to poison an entire town with an alien virus. Finally, Johnathan Johnson (nickname: John-John, which he hated) ran a small online computer repair business form his folks’ house in Farmer, Ohio. He had been a Delta Green friendly ever since, while investigating five haunted houses for his website, Ghostlore, he’d come into contact with Delta Green.

I ran this scenario at CaesarCon in Williams County Ohio in March of 2013. The scenario itself takes place over the same weekend, not far from where the convention took place, in the (now) fictional town of Mina, Ohio.

Delta Green Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays Part 2

by  • 

After the violent death of Agent Grant during the standoff at the sacred cave on August 12, 1997, the two other agents did their best to carry on with the strange investigation.  A blood-splatter specialist, Dr. Mindy Blatherstone, was added to the investigation as things continued to get more and more bizarre.   Though a suspect to the crimes had been identified, finding him was another thing entirely.  Add to that the NSA, CIA, INSCOM, and CIC agents demanding all information of the investigation, and things looked terribly suspicious.

On November 19, 2010, I ran the second Delta Green game that had started as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  My players were Cesar, Yamil, and Melissa.  I ran the introductory scenario from the Delta Green book: Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays.  I also used the online handouts by Graham Kinniburgh [Adam Astonbury].  This is the conclusion of that scenario.

Delta Green – Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays Part 1

by  • 

On Friday, August 8, 1997, three special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation stationed in Phoenix, Arizona, were sent to investigate a missing-persons case in nearby San Carlos.  Thirteen people had disappeared off the same road near the town in the last month.

Agent Arthur Crispy was only a year from retirement and looked it.  He had been horribly burned years before.  Sasha Petrova had been born in the U.S. of Russian immigrants and was a martial arts expert and excellent driver.  Maude Grant had been educated with hostage rescue team maneuvers.  This is their story.

On November 12, 2010, I ran a Delta Green game as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  As we didn’t complete the game (due to the fantastic role-playing), it ended up going for two sessions.  My players were Cesar, Yamil, and Melissa.  I ran the introductory scenario from the Delta Green book: Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays.  I also used the online handouts by Graham Kinniburgh [Adam Astonbury].
