Last Monday at 4:28 AM

Welcome everyone to tonight's session of Call of Cthulhu. The year is 1932, and our investigators find themselves in Algeria, North Africa. After World War I and the devastating Spanish Flu, academia resumed its relentless pursuit of knowledge. Our investigators are part of a joint archaeological expedition between Miskatonic University and the British Museum, investigating ancient ruins recently discovered in the Aurès Mountains of eastern Algeria.

Last Saturday at 5:56 PM

Welcome to Delta Green, agents. Tonight we find ourselves in modern-day Japan, where a DARPA research station has gone silent after reporting unusual seismic activity off the coast of Aomori Prefecture. Your team has been assembled under the guise of a joint research initiative, but your actual mission is to investigate the facility and determine what happened to the research team. The year is 2023, and tensions with China and North Korea have diverted most military attention elsewhere, leaving your small team to handle what appears to be a localized phenomenon... or so the bureaucrats believe.

04/29/2025

Welcome to tonight's operation. The year is 2078, and humanity has established its first research outpost in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. Callisto Station Alpha floats 150 kilometers above Jupiter's cloud tops, anchored by experimental gravitational tethers. Two smaller facilities branch off from it: The Ganymede Observatory, which studies Jupiter's Great Red Spot, and the Europa Deep Cloud Probe, which has been sending drones into Jupiter's lower atmosphere. For months, strange signals have been emanating from deep within Jupiter's clouds. DARPA and other agencies have sent your team to investigate disturbing discoveries and the sudden loss of contact with several research teams.

04/27/2025

Welcome to tonight's Delta Green operation. The year is 2037, and humanity has finally established its first research base on Uranus. Codenamed "Anaxagoras" after the pre-Socratic philosopher who first proposed a scientific description of the cosmos, this base was established by a joint NASA-private sector initiative. What started as a triumph of human exploration has become a nightmare. Three weeks ago, communications with Anaxagoras Base stopped abruptly. The last transmission included fragmented video showing personnel exhibiting erratic behavior, speaking in tongues, and self-mutilation. A recovery team was sent in and managed to establish temporary communications before they too went silent...

Welcome to Delta Green, agents. Tonight, we find ourselves in the year 2043, on Phobos, the innermost and larger of Mars' two moons.

The base, designated "Outpost Deimos," ironically named after Phobos' sister moon, houses a team of researchers, engineers, and support staff focused on preparing for eventual human settlement on Mars. But something... unusual has been happening. Reports of strange noises, equipment malfunctions, and personnel experiencing vivid hallucinations have made their way back to Earth. Delta Green has...
