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.
I want to use Nodens in an upcoming game of mine, but want to make him
an interesting and more appropriate part of the Mythos. My main goal is
to surprise my players with a re-interpretation of an old standby.
Since Nodens is the one part of the Mythos that I absolutely detest, I
thought he would be the best target.
What if the new Mythos consumes the way you see things. Suddenly the
world makes a lot of sense. What if the world is full of this new
Mythos, but we've become jaded too it, as it works its will. What about
all that spam... the ones with a few words and then gobbledigook? Is
that something trying to communicate, or a spammer losing it to
something else.
Section Disparu is a French Agency in the world of Delta Green that has
no contact with the Mythos. They end up slowly getting the picture
because of operations that come into contact with Delta Green, Majestic
12, GRU SV8, and PISCES.
CoC adventures often deal with threats to the entire world, and the
repercussions can be very dire if the PCs fail. However, actually
_destroying_ the world would be a bit much. For one thing, this would
end the campaign. For another, the various Great Old Ones dwelling on
Earth would probably do something about it (since they live here, too),
and "Deus Ex Machina" is not a role they play well.
In 1997, a plain individual with a long history of psychological
problems, Daniel Yale joined the New Star Crusade. At first, there
was little special about Yale; he faded into the group, sticking
close to Danen Ignis and doing whatever was asked of him. But soon,
Yale began causing trouble in town, something the group tended to
avoid doing. Yale was arrested twice for drunk and disorderly
conduct, and once for assault. When Ignis confined him to the farm,
he turned his problems on the Crusade.
An agent is notified that a "postage due" item is being held for him
(or her) at the local post office. They owe $1.00US and can pick the
item up during normal lobby hours.
The Bell is easily the largest item in the Collection, nearly as large
as the Great Mingun Bell of Myanmar, weighing 88 metric tons and
standing over 20 feet high. At the top, the massive rings where it
would attach to its mount have been torn half away from the body of the
bell, and one of the rings is split, indicating that some flaw allowed
the bell to tear away from its mount under its own weight.
