In Scenario, The Esoterrorists

But there’s a full moon risin; Lets go dancin in the light; We know where the music’s playin; Lets go out and feel the night.
Neil Young, Harvest Moon from Harvest Moon, 1992

OPERATION HARVEST MOON is a THE ESOTERRORISTS adventure (published by Pelgrane Press) designed as a one-off ‘convention-ready’ scenario or as a way of introducing new players to the world of The Esoterrorists. It also works well as a cold opening to a much longer series of dark and dangerous missions.

With the discovery of a body in the lower reaches of Blackbear Mountain (one of the many peaks within Wyoming’s Bighorn National Forest), a Search & Rescue team is urgently summoned to determine whether others might be trapped by the early-season change in weather. But what starts as a civil response may quickly become a life-or-death experience, where the hunters become the hunted.

The Membrane is weakened. What has come through?

Just a Little Knowledge: A Casting the Runes Scenario

A Casting the Runes Scenario written by Marcus D. Bone

Just a Little Knowledge is a scenario outline written to act as an introductory adventure for the Casting of the Runes roleplaying game. Designed to bring together a small group of investigators, it exposes them to the world of the supernatural and occult horror that lies hidden just beneath the surface of polite Edwardian society.

Set during the bleak autumn of 1908, the characters are about to be drawn into a mystery involving a book, a Cathedral and the sins of the church. Here they will uncover a secret buried for centuries that now released threatens dozens, if not hundreds, of innocent lives if not returned. So, are your Investigators brave enough to discover Just a Little Knowledge?

Inspired by the recent publication of Linden’s The Marshwood Vampire adventure and my own reviews of Casting the Runes publications, this scenario is hopefully the first of many for this great game I will release here.

Dark Aquarius: Call of Cthulhu 5e /Delta Green Scenario

A CALL OF CTHULHU (DELTA GREEN & PISCES) Scenario written by Linden Dunham

DARK AQUARIUS is a CALL OF CTHULHU (5th Edition) scenario (utilising the DELTA GREEN/PISCES setting) set in the UK during the long hot summer of 1976. The murder of a London art dealer leads the investigators to that hotspot of mythos activity, the Severn Valley. There they find themselves delving into a much older killing that connects to their case. With much of the evidence pointing towards Brichester Lake, a confrontation with the Great Old One Glaaki may well be on the cards.

NOTE: This scenario uses the Call of Cthulhu 5e mechanics (which can be easily adapted to either the Call of Cthulhu 7e or Delta Green ruleset with some minor changes).

Hailing From Darkest Stars: A Coriolis Scenario

In Community Content Publication, Coriolis, Scenario

In Hailing from Darkest Stars the player characters are drawn into a mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Consortium scout ship Almuashir. Tasked by their Patron with discovering the fate of this ship, they will be informed that a single member of its crew has supposedly returned – unseen and unannounced – to Coriolis Station. Investigating this individual will lead the party across Coriolis, to places new and old, in a race to discover what they might know.

But the characters are not the only party wanting to find the lost ship and uncover its dark secrets. Within the Consortium powerful factions collide in what will become a deadly contest to secure an ancient artifact, the contents of which might spell doom for not only Coriolis Station but the entirety of the Third Horizon!

Hailing from the Darkest Stars looks to create its own distinct version of the Coriolis milieu, a darker, more threatening setting where the powers of the Dark Between the Stars are foremost in the setting, lurking just behind the otherwise normal trappings of polite society. In doing so, this scenario introduces a different type of Coriolis story, one that presents new challenges to the characters of this fantastic game setting.

Beware… as only great evil hails from darkest stars!

For Whom The Bell Tolls: A Scenario Outline

In Liminal, Scenario

Centuries have passed and yet still the traitors of an ancient King are forced replay their betrayal and death each Sunday evening. But will the death of their torturer bring an end to their suffering, or will lit lead to more death?

In For Whom the Bell Tolls, the characters’ Cabal is thrown into a mystery of forgotten rites, misguided desires, and a secret cult hellbent on dominating the Hidden World  for their own personal gain!

Written in a outline format, rather than a complete scenario, this adventure was originally written for a gaming convention that was cancelled due to a Covid lockdown, and has been reviewed and expanded here. Note that while it was designed for three specific pre-generated characters – a private detective (a Tough), a necromancer (a Magician) and a Determined, additional party members can be added with ease.

IMPORTANT! THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT A COMPLETE ADVENTURE!
Rather it is an outline providing the main plot, core NPCs and the major events for a Game Master to create their own Liminal scenario based on the presented premise. Most of the ‘connective tissue’ required to turn this outline into a playable adventure is left to you, dear reader, to create.
