Message: <blockquote data-quote="Synchronicity" data-source="post: 1979198" data-attributes="member: 10070">Andrew: [sblock]I was hoping you could help me out a little in clarifying the sort of things Pike knows after nearly 20 years of DG work. I'd imagine he's got to know *something* about what's going on after that long, but I don't want to overstep my bounds and assume knowledge Pike has no right having. Could you take a look at what I'm written below and comment?Organisations I can see it being feasible Pike might have heard of: MJ-12 (Whether he knows about their connection with the Greys is another matter), the Karotechia (If he has, like the rest of Delta Green, he likely thinks they're destroyed), the Fate (Perhaps as a dodgy New York crime syndicate that's possibly connected to Alzis?), PISCES (If he does, I imagine he has no idea about the Shans), Saucerwatch (as a bunch of goddamn troublemakers), Phenomen-X (as Saucerwatch, but even worse).Mythos gods it's possible Pike has heard of (though doesn't necessarily know anything about): Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath, Father Dagon.Mythos beings Pike may have heard of/actually met: Deep one (DG knows a lot about them, so I figure Pike may have heard things), ghoul (kind of common, and DG does have one working for them..), grey (they're quite active), byakhee (they seem quite a common servan beastie), dimensional shambler (they are supposed to be assassins. Pike may have been present when someone in his vicinity got a nasty shock...I like the idea of that being something that happened to a former cell member of his).Important beings Pike may be aware of: Stephen Alzis (incredibly dangerous; a man you don't cross...or even interact with, if you can help it), Belial (runs Club Apocalypse; seems to have some occult pull), Adolph Lepus (The bogeyman of MJ-12). (I figure Pike's probably been to Club Apocalypse at least once - with other people, that is - and anyone with an ounce of sense hears about Alzis if they're in the Mythos business.)If you could let me know what of the above is going too far and what is OK, I'd appreciate it . This is just a vague idea I'm trying to build based on how common various groups/monsters/gods are and therefore how likely it is Pike may have run into them, to make sure I don't accidentally use knowledge Pike has no business having. Finally, I was thinking it would be entirely plausible that Pike may be down some SAN at start of game - perhaps as much as 2d6 worth, to represent SAN loss from previous missions that he hasn't fully recovered from yet. It's entirely up to you. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Cheers!Synch.[/sblock]</blockquote>
