A long time Dark Conspiracy fan (and Founding Editor of DEMONGROUND fanzine), Marcus contributed to both the 2nd edition revival of DC and later lead a failed attempt to republish the game in the mid-2000s. He is the dedicated owner of this site - Dark Conspiracy the RPG.info (or DCtRPG.info as he likes to call it) - and will endeavour to continue to provide content for this fantastic setting as long as a fanbase remains.

Detour is a 14 page Dark Conspiracy adventure that explores portions of New BosWash and the Outlaw lands that surround it.

Among the Dead is an 82-page adventure published in 1992 by GDW for the Dark Conspiracy game line. Complete with GDW’s higher-than-average quality of layout and art (at least for the time), this scenario is one of the best ever produced for DC, although it’s not without its flaws.
The one-line summary Among the Dead is “a cracking good read, bringing Russia — at least Russia as it exists in the world of Dark Conspiracy — to life”. However, while the story begins strong, with a detailed introduction and hook, the scenario soon fades as the initial mystery is lost among a variety of competing agendas.
That said, it’s hard to do this scenario justice in one simple sentence, so let’s look at Among the Dead in a little more detail…
