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.
Not every member of Delta Green is comfortable acting outside the law,
waging an illegal war without end. There is a cell of agents
(henceforth referred to as `M-Cell`) who intend to gain sanction by
Congress and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acting outside the designs of
A-Cell. They hope, with enough evidence, to present an unassailable
case to Congress to officially reinstate Delta Green. This conspiracy
within Delta Green has slowly compiled considerable documentation with
which to present their case.
Delta Green faces a host of enemies, human and otherwise. Some of those
that cross the organization might have good intentions, but, as they
say about the road to Hell…
To continue the trend of scenarios about silencing former DG agents and
friendlies, I present my homage/ripoff of the movie Burn After Reading.
I've taken the basic setup of the movie and then veered off into DG
terrtiory so the players can participate. I've also left out George
Clooney's character because he isn't necessary to get the ball rolling.
This scenario is set in Washington DC.
Annabelle Gillick, a one-time Delta Green `friendly', is becoming a
danger to the people around her. Gillick, a psychic, was assisting a
Delta Green agent just over two years ago when her sensitive mind was
exposed to alien emanations projected by an otherworldly entity. This
drove her mad and until recently she has been in a catatonic state,
waging and slowly losing an internal war with the nightmare impulses
that have infected her. Her control is slipping, and her damaged mind
is projecting echoes of the creature's terrible consciousness to those
around her – to caustic effect. Enter the player-characters; A-Cell
just learned about Gillick, and are concerned she is a security threat.
Everyone makes mistakes, even A-Cell. However, when A-Cell makes
mistakes, there's a lot on the line. James Fitzhugh is a decorated FBI
agent, and a member of H-Cell, codename Horatio. A-Cell is convinced
that Horatio has become a liability and is need of a retirement plan.
Exactly why Delta-Green is after one of its own is up to the Keeper,
but the underpinning facts should be wrong. The agents are tasked with
delivering his severance check.
As I prepare the next series of adventures for my group I decided
to mess around with demons. As such I have come up with a school of
magic for demons. I had a bunch of other spells but these are the ones
I want to use.
