The development of this scenario has a long and (un)interesting story, with its genesis arising during a holiday break with my family and it being changed, chopped-up and rewritten numerous times in the years since. What you find below is the final version, one I feel brings the core elements of a story to life without belabouring the point – a demonstration of how even the most humanitarian of deeds comes with consequences in the setting like Conspiracy X. Of course, while at its heart No Good Deed is a pretty simple and straightforward investigative adventure (the longest by word count – at 14,000 – that I’ve written for Conspiracy X) I just know that conspiracy-horror fans will get a kick out of playing it. I do hope you enjoy!
No Good Deed
NO GOOD DEED is an investigative scenario that will throw an unsuspecting AEGIS Cell into a race against time. From a seemingly straightforward police shooting through to experiments with Saurian DNA, as the old saying goes ‘no good deed ever goes unpunished’.
Designed to introduce new players to the world of Conspiracy X. It should take no more than a few hours to complete, but this could be extended by both the players actions and the Chronicler’s desire to explore some of the key plot points further.
A long time in the making, I need to thank the following for being my guinea-pigs… I mean playtesters… of this scenario as it went through its various iterations – Darryn Mercer, Mark Chiddicks, Julia Blackmore, Marcus Gustafson, Garth Allen, Dan Woodhouse, Angela Whiteman, Hamish Gaundan, and Roger Awhimate.
