[Review] Challenge Magazine – The Scenarios (Issues 57-58)

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 inhouse 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!

[Adventure] Incident at Redview – A 1st Edition Scenario

– Reviewed and Updated in April 2020 –

Incident at Redview is an sandbox styled adventure written for 1st Edition of Dark Conspiracy. Designed as a introduction for both new players and new Minion Hunters placing the characters in the midst of an outbreak of an apocalyptic scale.

‘Somethings wrong in Redview, I can feel it in my bones… you know what I mean?”

For the residents of Madison, however, stuck way out in the middle of the Outlaw, with no prospects and no opportunities, the chemical plant at Redview is their last, best shot at making something of themselves. They work there, as scientists, security guards, just about anything really, to make ends meet…

But did anyone ever stop and ask just what Chema is up to in this out of the way, lost to everyone, sort of place? No? Well our Minion Hunters are about to find out. Armed only with their courage and what few resources they can scrounge up, can they survive ‘The Incident at Redview’?
