[QUOTE="TheBlakkat, post: 5347622, member: 96460"] Shadowfall: Those Who Fight the Darkness Before I start, I'd like to say that i've noticed a very similar story hour already in existence with a similar premise to this one (Talien's Delta Green Camapign Log). I'm still going to write this up and I'll try to make this as exciting and interesting as his, without overlapping too much. I don't think this'll be much of a problem because I've started writing my own adventures, but sometimes the content may overlap (I use some CoC adventures). With that said, onto the Story Hour!
