The Usual Suspects

"Okay, the following victims have committed their souls to the EH meatgrinder."

The following people have all placed their tender artistic ego's into the hands of the MiB, probably the most insulting member of the Delta Green list ever to have poured vitriol onto his keyboard

A brief outline of my horrible scheme (that is *not* a measure of quality :) goes as follows:

Synopsis

The Emerald Hammer campaign should take place after the Shan mess has been dealt with and some international cooperation exists (IOW post-Countdown). Also, I'm thinkin' that each chapter in the COMPENDIUM would be a standalone one-session thing easily inserted between other adventures, with leads into the next international fiasco.

My "drive-in-totals" for each of thirteen chapters consists of:

1 Mythos Tome

1 Karotechia Bischofe (who if unkilled appears in the final chapter)

1 Befuddled Hate Group

3 Delta Green Agents

1 horrifying mass-sacrifice

Gun-Fu

Spell-Fu

International travel-Fu

I do not have any Bischofe character idea as of yet, and some locations are short of pawns, so the Karotechia is SOL there as far as I'm concerned. Some areas are still pretty vague in my head, which is why I want others to fill in the void.

Some points to consider:

1) Each chapter should be designed to run in one four to six hour session with four to six players.

2) Research and Profile the Hate group for each chapter

3) Exciting conclusions are everything, and you can't have one of those w/o a suspenseful buildup.

4) A good opportunity to kill a Bischofe should be included in each chapter.
5) Majestic-12 is pretty much sitting out on the sidelines during this one. Stress International Cooperation as a means of success.

6) The COMPENDIUM is a result of the stark and terrible aftermath.

7) Work can proceed now, but be warned, I hate everything and will reject and mangle with glee. Major retconning will probably be required for our early efforts after Countdown is out, but we won't be anywhere near completion by then anyway.
