Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
You remember when your little sister grew an extra head and you took the butt
end of your daddy's shotgun to her until she stopped wailingin alien
tongues? Remember when you thought
that fat headless zombie-thing wouldn't stop growing or mutating or whatever
and you kept peppering the gigantic maggots erupting from it's bloated belly
with buckshot?
Remember when you
suddenly lost control of your body and the buzzing in your brain was so loud
you almost didn't stop whatever was controlling you from blowing your own
damn fool head off with that Remington 870 you picked up off the headless
state trooper's body?
It all started in 1995. One Year
after the Fairfield Incident. Things were crazy, paranoid times full of cell
structures and biohazards. Ahundred damned things popping up needing to be
put down every week. Contaminated towns disappearing off the map, Mob
informants withering and shrivelling right inside FBI "interview" rooms like
fast forwarded Egyptian mummies. Occult graffitti showing up in bad
neighborhoods and good neighborhoods.
I saw the Yellow Sign scrawled
60 feet up the wall across the back alley of a meat packing plant. At least
three bodies worth of human meat in the dumpster. How'd they even get the
blood that high up?
Every night, a different story, a new scenario...
scattershot beads of distilled hellfire scorching new and acute trails of
twisted agony through the raw remnants of human sanity. They come at you all
at once. Not like the well-aimed surgical precision of a sniper, but
like a maniac's spree killing, slaughtering human victims like
diseased
cattle.
Remember that evening on the pier? Two ships coming
in loaded with inhuman monsters? Cargo containers shaking like unstable
bombs... the full moon glaring down with cold light in the frozen night?
Steel rending with a metallic scream?
Fifteen days ago, two California marijuana growers uncovered the
remains of what they believed to be a U.F.O. buried on the slop of Bare
Mountain. When arrested by the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department,
the duo attempted to parlay their discovery into a plea deal. While
this was unsuccessful, their discovery was passed on to Saucerwatch
which after some research has dispatched a group to examine the alleged
crash site. Delta Green noticed their interest and sends the Agents to
investigate.
"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,
burning as if it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star is
called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and
many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter".
Revelations 8:10-11
Despite the conspiracy's best efforts to keep things
`compartmentalised', Delta Green agents will occasionally encounter
other agents on `active duty'. If they are really unlucky, they will
have to deal with the fall out from another Cell's `opera' that has
gone horribly wrong…
There's been an unexplainable disappearance of a suspect inside a
police station. The story goes that a woman recently arrested for
fencing antiques got a guard to let her out of her cell in the middle
of the night, then made her way alone to an evidence room which she
entered by punching in a correct six-digit code. She immediately
located a weapon to be used as evidence in her case, as if she already
knew where it was, and then she vanished into thin air.
Seven terrorist groups plan to use mythos sorcery as weapons of mass
destruction and hasten the arrival of the End Times. A powerful mythos
sorcerer has created a new ritual that temporarily channels Cthulhu's
dreams to every living mind in a region, depending on the number of
humans sacrificed in the ritual. The sorcerer has distributed the
ritual to the seven groups as part of a master plan not to destroy
humanity but to 'enlighten' it and drive them to open worship of the
Great Old Ones.
I just uploaded a mp3 of our group playing a night on owlshead mountain. Overall it was a great one shot adventure. A bit awkward at times
because I had to deal with six players but everyone really pitched it
and helped make it great.
Chris Dunn has finished(ish) a conversion of 'A Resection of Time' for his gaming group. Chris has moved it to Vietnam. In a time consuming fashion he has also typed it up and saved it as PDF goodness for anyone else who might be interested in having a look at his fevered scribbling. Feedback would be appreciated as it is his first CoC scenario.
