Detour is a 14 page Dark Conspiracy adventure that explores portions of New BosWash and the Outlaw lands that surround it. The first by the new DC licensee, 3 Hombres Games, it is available only as a pdf (via DrivethruRPG), for a price point of $6.99 USD (as part of a bundle). With a new and interesting approach, it offers an insight into the direction that 3 Hombres Games is to take Dark Conspiracy in the future.

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 its 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 with the initial mystery is lost among a variety of competing agendas.
That said, its hard to do this scenario justice in one simple sentence, so let’s look at Among the Dead in a little more detail…
