Choose federal law enforcement. Choose the military. Choose NASA or the CDC. Choose lying to your superiors. Choose to ruin your career. Choose no friends. Choose divorce. Choose life through the bottom of a bottle.Choose destroying evidence and executing innocent people because they know too fucking much. Choose black fatigues and matching gas masks. Choose the Golden Dawn and waking up wondering who you are. Choose a 9mm retirement plan. Choose going out with a bang at the end of it all, PGP-encrypting your last message down a securely laid cable as an NSA wetworks squad busts through your door.
Pick an Agent PC; the one with the lowest SAN, or the one with the most
recent bout of temporary insanity, or the one who has done the most
morally questionable things, or just the one who deserves it most. As a
Night at the Opera is wrapping up, remind them of the existence of
their day job (FBI, CIA, whatever) and that they have received a memo
reminding them that their biennial Psychological Evaluation will take

It's coming up to the days of the dead in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua,
Mexico, a quick hop over the border from El Paso, Texas. Every day is a
day of the dead in Juárez. In the last 10 years, over 400 women meeting

At Gencon this year, I got
to play in a pagan publishing playtest of a WW1 CoC scenario called Dig To Victory, run by Adam Scott Glancy. I just posted
the recording of it to my podcast. It's over 5 hours but it was a blast to
play. Oh and Greg Stolze is one of the players.
I originally posted this on the Unknown Armies list months ago, but
don't remember mentioning it here. A bit on the soft-science side since
I didn't really do any serious research before writing it, but seems
mildly germane to the discussion anyway. Originally inspired by the lyrics of "Drawbridge" (by the All Girl Summer Fun Band) and "Sad Sad Song" (by Tilly and the wall).
