EPISODE GUIDE

A brief summary of my campaign, to aid the players in remembering the back story (we play only two or three times a year...) All episodes are based (sometimes loosely) on published scenarios, so you'll have to buy them to find out more!

#1 - Puppet Shows & Shadow Plays

Arizona. The Aliens (and the Greys) make their first appearance, abducting and modifying humans in an isolated township by surgically implanting shoggoth parts into them. Aquarius appears to try and cover up evidence of the incident, and another creature leaves a trail of corpses in its effort to reach the Aliens for an unknown purpose.

#2 - A Resection of Time

California/Massachusetts/Belize. A turf war between the Aliens and the Cult of Cthulhu erupts as each tries to take control of an ancient temple to Nyarlathotep. An empty Alien base is infiltrated and the Modified and the Natives are encountered for the first time. We learn that even a massed horde of deep ones is no match for a pair of fully armed Apache helicopter gun-ships.

#3 - Configurations of the Flesh

Florida. A small cult of humans dedicated to a god named Azathoth is discovered mutilating and murdering the local homeless population. They turn out to be under a mental compulsion, and not part of a larger organisation.

#4 - A Victim of the Art

New York. A monster is murdering people on Long Island. Aquarius attempts to cover up the evidence. The Grey Haired Woman makes her first (on-screen) appearance, attempting to gain information on the central characters.

#5 - The Wild Hunt

New York. A mysterious serial killer stalks women in New York City. An agent (or avatar?) of Nyarlathotep makes an incidental appearance in this episode, although this is not apparent until later.

#6 - Realm of Shadows

Connecticut/Montana. A human cult of Mordiggian is encountered, providing corpses for their ghoul masters. Their base of operations, the 'Second Temple', is destroyed.

#7 - Dead Letter

Maine. A company is unwittingly making zombies for the Karotechia. Reinhard Galt destroys their laboratory, but eventually escapes, having survived unscathed from various attacks with 40mm grenades, a flamethrower, white phosphorus and a vehicle-mounted machine gun.

#8 - Night Floors

New York. A Native leaves something in a house that causes it to warp out of this reality and enter a hallucinogenic realm shaped by the power of the King in Yellow.

#9 - Coming of Age

Rhode Island. New World Industries, Pisces and the Aliens are all attempting to gain control of something submerged beneath Naragansett Bay. Aquarius wants to cover up the evidence, and something claiming to be Nyarlathotep wants to be reborn.

#10 - Dream Factory

New York/California. The Skoptsi use Alien technology to create an artificial reality and unleash a monster on Central Park.

#11 - Reverb

Illinois/Indiana/Pennsylvania. An investigation into a series of mysterious killings leads to a drug cartel operated by the Tcho-Tchos, sinister genetic experiments and a monster from beyond time.

#12 - And The Truth Shall Set You Free

New York. A series of bizarre dreams concering four apparently harmless and unconnected individuals leads to insanity and betrayal within the heart of the investigators' own organisation. A plan by the Insectoids to infiltrate Moondust is thwarted.
