[QUOTE="talien, post: 5165735, member: 3285"] Hi Olaf, At Your Door is a "modern" adventure (more like 1980s, but that was modern at the time). It's been almost universally panned as being awful, but I'm quite fond of tinkering with scenarios and have so far run a very successful Delta Green campaign using the worst elements of the book. Please note that my descriptions below give a lot away if you plan to play in At Your Door! You can read how the campaign went here: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/214026-modern-delta-green-beginning-end-updated-daily-april-6-a-38.html[/url] Elements I enjoyed: * Satan's Sadists: An all-purpose biker gang. They also appear in The Evil Stars, another 1980s scenario which I linked to At Your Door. * Ssruthaa: A serpent person in the guise of an evangelical preacher. I changed this character significantly by linking him to Future/Perfect (answering your other question -- Future/Perfect is free at [url=http://web.me.com/drgonzo/Site/Welcome/Welcome.html]Nothing Can Stop the Blog[/url], Detwiller has piles of excellent free scenarios for download). * Dawn Biozyme: Nothing quite like a lab that specializes in genetic mutations from the Great Old Ones. * Full Wilderness: Although Full Wilderness seems like a ridiculous combination of eco-terrorism and corporate greed, with today's "greenwashing" of corporations this organization fits right in. * Jenny: A four-armed horny giantess. Seems absurd, right? I'm not sure how, but we made it work. Better than that, she mated with one of the agents and her babies came to term in agency custody. As you can imagine, this will have long-term implications in our game. Elements I removed: * Mr. Shiny: A shoggoth in human form. He's just too weird of a freak to use with Delta Green agents who are likely to get suspicious and start shooting. * A Giant Talking Dog: This needs no explanation. I turned him into a huge feral wolf on steroids that didn't talk. That seemed to work fine. * Too Many Dark Young: Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath have since changed throughout the ages and become much, much deadlier. I used Night on Owlshead Mountain as a link, which put Dark Young in the appropriate light but ruined the possibility of having more than one show up without the agents just fleeing in terror. I ended up using "baby" versions of them, which were much easier to handle. You can buy At Your Door at Amazon.com or Noble Knight (search for "At Your Door" and "Cthulhu"). Amazon.com seems to be selling it for under twenty bucks. Hope that's helpful! [/QUOTE]
