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'm currently working on converting the Unhallowed Metropolis setting
to ORE and I am trying to model the Zombies as presented in the game.
You really don't need to know the gritty details... just let me know if
what I'm doing seems right.
One of the games I've always wanted to play using the One Roll Engine was a Zombie game.
Maybe Godlike-style "Weird War Two" with superpowered soldiers against
undead nazies, maybe more pulpy Hellboy-themed action, maybe something
completly different. Either way: Zombies are cool.
With that in mind, here are some idle thoughts I had on using Zombies in an ORE game.
Rare, possibly unique WW2-era German Enigma machine with four rotor
slots and seven rotors. Included is the original case, constructed of
black varnished wood marked with inset silver runes such as the the
curved swastika or Sonnerad of the Thule Society, as well as other less
prominent SS runes.
Cultists would be taught by other cultists, of course. Other than that
- I see Aklo as having a strong performative aspect, (it is an action
as much as a language); hence why just reading a spell can
inadvertently trigger it. I also see it as something like a virus; the
problem tends to be getting rid of it, not catching it.
Magic in Call of Cthulhu is unsystematic, haphazard and subjective in
nature, ill-fitting Lovecraft's conception. As made clear in "The Case
of Charles Dexter Ward", Lovecraft saw magic as a quasi-technological,
repeatable phenomena turning upon the precise invocation and
pronunciation of a mystical language. It is also made clear in many
places (eg The Dunwich Horror, The Courtyard), that that language is
Aklo, that Aklo is the "programming language" of the (local) universe,
and that Aklo is inherently tied to the Great Old Ones.
The Wandering Ghosts are some of the antagonists within the module "Quiet Places and Forgotten Things."
Because they could function equally well within a great many storytelling contexts of Delta Green, Nemesis and Dark Conspiracy, I have created them their own seperate resource including character sheets and brief character dossiers.
This stems from a conversation on Yog-Sothoth.com about Nyarlathotep. Maybe there's more discussion forthcoming in the book about the Big N that would contradict or
clarify these notions. But I'm sure the good people here will inform me
about such. So, here are a few ramblings on Nyarlathotep and humanity's
ultimate fate. Enjoy them, hate them, destroy them in eternal flame,
whatever. But most important, let's talk about them.
