Two Scenarios by Craig Sheeley
From the release of Dark Conspiracy in 1990 through to the closure of its doors in 1995, Game Designers Workshop supported our favourite horror game not only through a variety of official supplements but also within the pages of their in-house magazine Challenge. Although the magazine existed prior, it was over this run of 5 years (which spanned about 40 issues) that we received a plethora of new scenarios, fiction and other great Dark Conspiracy articles. Here at DCtRPG.info we plan on reviewing each of these ‘releases’, looking back fondly on the foundation of our game and how this material built on (or – please excuse the pun – ‘challenged’) the Dark Conspiracy setting and system.
For those following closely, we’ve previously reviewed the first few offerings found in issues 53 through 56 and so this time round we move on to the two scenarios that appeared in issues 57 (February 1992) and 58 (March 1992) respectively. Interestingly, both of these adventures were written by Craig Sheely, an author who would quickly become a key contributor on many future Dark Conspiracy supplements. So, let’s read on and see what awaits us!
