Bill Wessler is the biggest bully in high school. Just this week, Bill dared anyone brave enough to spend the entire night in the old Denford school on the edge of town.  The old 2-story building is surrounded by a tangled meadow of chest-high weeds and brambles. The walls are covered in ivy, the windows boarded up. The front door is slightly open. Bill and his two friends stand far behind you at the edge of the meadow, the lights of their car on, playing loud music, drinking beers and laughing amongst themselves. “We’ll be watching!” he shouts. “No sneaking out unless you wanna be known as chicken!” Once you enter, you can’t leave until sunrise tomorrow morning. It is almost sunset on Halloween night...

Team Silverhawk must stop the villain behind the plan to wipe out Abundance 5 and that means finding and infiltrating his personal ship, the Bloody Baron. That's easier said than done, as the villain still has numerous minions, traps, and other defenses. But justice demands the crew of the Silverhawk stop the captain of the Bloody Baron in our campaign finale of Abundance 5!

A villain has plotted to use an ancient artifact to gain control over a swarm of dangerous aliens. In order to do this, the villain has endangered the life of everyone on Abundance 5 and the crew of the Holiday will try to stop him, at any cost.

Team Silverhawk races to a distant planet to pursue a lead in their investigation. In order to proceed, they must infiltrate a popular game show that pits contestants in a deadly arena, fighting for supremacy. Can they survive and get the intel they need?

The crew of the Holiday needs to research a strange alien artifact they have discovered. A scholar on a remote and dangerous jungle planet can help them, so they travel there in hopes of learning the machine's secrets. Unfortunately, a gang of mercenaries is hot on their trail.

Abundance 5 is a remote planet, ill-equipped to deal with dangers. Its population of former resort employees who re-enact the Wild West, the rebels who hate the Wild West, and a commune of cultists who worship a galactic hero, can't deal with the numerous threats they face. Two teams of Lasers, professional troubleshooters and law enforcers, have been hired to protect them.

This scenario comes from Out of the Woods, an anthology of forest themed Trail of Cthulhu scenarios.

After the discovery of Machu Picchu, other explorers and archeologists searched for other Inca ruins. A confession of a Spanish occultist who died during the Inquisition is discovered in a library's archives in the 1930s. It mentions a hidden tomb high up in the Peruvian mountains. Soon, an expedition is formed to look for the hidden tomb but they will find more than treasure buried inside.

The thieves have their prize but can they escape with it? The guardian of the museum has trapped them in a small town and has sent her remaining cultists and followers to catch them. Either the thieves must wait until the mystic barrier weakens or they must defeat the dread priestess of Hecate and her followers. Can they survive to cash in or will the cult of Hecate feast on their blood? Find out in the conclusion to this mini-series!

The thieves now face their greatest challenge, stealing a priceless artifact from a well-guarded and remote museum. It has unusually strong security, including an armed response team and high tech alarm systems. Plus the thieves encountered the supernatural earlier, so they reasonably expect more occult interference. Planning and executing a flawless heist is easier said than done, but if anyone can pull it off, it's this team.

A group of talented criminals are brought together by a mysterious and well-financed patron. The patron wants them to steal certain objects from certain places. The first is an ancient and valuable artifact from the safe of an art gallery. It is guarded by alarms and other conventional security, but the team is not told of its ultimate protection...the undead. Is fighting a blood sucking monster worth a sizeable payday?

News: Why were we gone for so long? Read this for more info. We are now on a new web host, so hopefully, everything will be smooth sailing from here on out. Amidst the chaotic guerrilla warfare of Civil War Missouri, a small force of Union militia troops is tasked with carrying out General Order No. 11, the expulsion of all civilians from four counties on the Kansas-Missouri border. But each soldier has his own motivations, not all of them noble. When they encounter some unusual opposition, their commitment to their mission, their unit, and even their sanity will be tested. This is an early playtest version of this scenario, and also Ethan's first time running Trail of Cthulhu.

A woman, blood seeping through her suit, staggers to the door of Red-Talk Phones. A gun is in her hand. She is strong enough to yell out not to bother calling the police. She just needs a clean phone, a burner. It is coming and it would be better if it did not have more victims to attack. The employees of the strip mall huddle behind the counter of Red-Talk Phones. Burner is a Delta Green scenario in which the PCs are civilians thrown into an Opera without warning. I used Fear Itself (a Gumshoe system) to playtest the engine because I thought it suited the scenario more and I wanted to introduce one of the players, Shaun, to Gumshoe. Burner won second place in the 2015 Delta Green Shotgun Scenario contest. You can read all of the entries here, including the winner Die Nachtbruder.

Melissa took the reins as GM for the first time and used the Trail of Cthulhu rules to run an Agatha Christie style mystery.
