[Adventure] Urban Nightmares – A 1st Edition Scenario

By Marcus D. Bone

Things lurk in the dark, in the spaces humanity has left behind. Evil things, vicious things that want for nothing more than our total destruction.

Yet these things we understand, if still fear. What we fail to comprehend are those things hunt us not for survival, nor to feed, or because humanity poses some as yet undefined threat to their existence. No, these things stalk us only for the pleasure…

Unlimited worlds span our universe, and infinite more stretch across the dimensions, and yet among all that potential, how can humanity be reduced to simple playthings?

[Review] Acute Care

Written by Dave Schuey (2011, 3Hombres)

Acute Care was the third and final adventure released during 3Hombres Games tenure as the publishers of the Dark Conspiracy 3rd Edition roleplaying game. Primarily focused on a series of suspicious events occurring at a large fictional hospital – Pangate Memorial – it was, as the author notes, written to be either an introductory mission for potential new Minion Hunters, or utilised as a reoccurring location available to an experienced party of Investigators (and what group of Minion Hunters isn’t in constant need for good medical facility?).

So does Acute Care live up to its stated goals? Is it an ‘operation’ needing urgent undertaking, or simply a product that survives simply on ‘life support’? Grab your surgical kit, load up on (legally prescribed) drugs and let’s find out!

[Adventure] The Lewton Bus by Lee Williams

A 1st Edition Scenario by Lee Williams

I never was much of a flyer myself, preferring to drive despite the crappy state of the highways and the higher risk factor. At least if you’re on the ground, you can try to run away, right?

This time we had to get there soon-as, so it had to be a plane ride. When the pilot announced we had to make an unexpected night-time stopover due to “unforeseen issues”, I was glad to get my feet back on the sweet Earth for a little while.

Looking back, maybe I shouldn’t have been so damn happy about that…

[Review] Nightsider – A Folio Adventure in Three Parts

Written by Michael C. LaBossiere (1992, GDW)

Nightsider was the second and final ‘folio’-style adventure released by Games Designer Workshop (GDW) in the Dark Conspiracy line. Well, when I say adventure, I actually mean a collection of three loosely connected scenarios based in Maine, New England (but easily transferable) that all involve an otherworldly invasion by the the titular Nightsiders. These creatures, beings able to inhabit the bodies of the dead, are slowing but surely infiltrating our dimension, and, as always, it falls on the Minion Hunters to stop this invasion before it is too late.

[Review] New Orleans

Written by Eric W. Haddock (1991, GDW)

GDW2101 - Dark Conspiracy - New Orleans (MJS)New Orleans hit the shelves in 1991 as the first book produced by Game Designers Workshop (GDW) in support of their new Dark Conspiracy game-line. More than simply an adventure, New Orleans is part scenario, part city supplement, and in many ways the blueprint for the books that were to follow.

Note that this review accompanies an interview darkconspiracytherpg.info conducted with the author of this supplement, Eric Haddock. This can be found here – [Interview] Eric Haddock – Author of New Orleans
