JACK FROST by Shane Ivey

A rural valley in northern Alabama has always been prone to severe cold snaps. On December 22, 1998, the worst “Jack Frost” storm in history hit the farming town of Willis. A lingering freeze and sudden floods killed dozens. Your players get a ground view of that apocalyptic storm. As government scientists with an ultra-secret UFO research project, they suspect that something otherworldly is at work. Their investigation may reveal a threat more vast and terrifying than any extraterres...

NEW ART FOR IMPOSSIBLE LANDSCAPES

We're in the deep thicket of layout for IMPOSSIBLE LANDSCAPES and that means LOTS of art. Here's some new pieces!

View Post

THE RENETEUR DEVICE

The device looks like an anachronistic word processor from an alternate future. It is clearly homemade and constructed out of jumbled pieces of old machinery, equipment, and vehicles. It has a bulbous black and white screen and an inset, 1980s typing keyboard.

It was built by a young man named Manny Reneteur nearly a decade after an almost fatal car accident left him in a coma for 22 days at the age of 12. After that coma, Manny was never wholly the same again; in- stead, h...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: LIVING IN THE FUTURE

After the first two years, Dana had given up trying to escape. The rooms were vault-like, and completely sealed, he knew (and didn’t he know everything about the rooms by now?) but it still had everything he needed to…exist. No windows. But clean water poured continuously in from a 2-inch hole in the ceiling and left via a 4-inch hole in the ground. A square metal plate seamlessly set in the naked cement provided a cooktop (with no controls or access to gas, that would not do, no, no, no...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: THE MAN FROM THE PYRAMID

When it is the time of the last men, it looks like this; Black Pyramids crawl across empty, radioactive fields, chasing the dim sun across green skies. The people are trapped in the pyramids and cannot leave them, because the world is poison. Each person is cocooned in machines, pulling and adding slurry to a group sum, feeding others and feeding on others, as they all winnow down to ashes. 

What year? I ask him. What year is that?

But he doesn't know he say...

THE BRIXTON SHARD, A NEW UNNATURAL ARTIFACT

This strange, seemingly biological, chitinous, bone-like spine was first seen in 1971 when it was used in a se- ries of attacks dubbed “the Brixton Impaler”. During a nine month period, seven people were stabbed with it, and three died, including a child. During a struggle in his last attempt at murder, the culprit, Vincent Daveri, was thrown in front of a train at the Brixton railway station. Despite being struck by the train, Daveri hung on life-support for 19 months before finally ...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: WE BURN

Describe everything. Describe every possible thing ever created, done, built, thought or imagined. Just start talking, now. List it all in a gibbering madman squeal that rises in tone to an endless screeching, repeating, list of nonsense that somehow manages to contain the entire world within it. 


I’ll wait.

BUT WOULDN'T THE MI-GO BE SCARED TOO?

I’ve seen the question pop up everywhere from the gaming table to the Delta Green Mailing List, to RPGnet. It always goes something like this:



“If a **INSERT MYTHOS MONSTER** is so horrific to HUMANS wouldn’t THAT mean WE would look horrific to **INSERT MYTHOS MONSTER**?”


Uh. No. Anyone who’s read Lovecraft understands a few basic principles of his cosmic horror work (and by this, I’m excluding his more Dunsanyian fantasies). We used t...

DISINFORMATION: THE SAD STORY OF EMELINE F. FITZROY, CHILD GENIUS

Emiline F. Fitzroy (1921–1950) was a child genius born to the Fitzroy pork fortune. The family controlled many of the slaughterhouses and shipping yards that made Chicago a hub for meat production. They were so wealthy that the patriarch, Dr. Thomas Fitzroy,

had a unique house built for them in the Oak Park neighborhood by the “Picasso of architecture,” Asa Daribondi (later the architect of th...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: STOP THE WAR

The night after Doctor King died in Memphis, Beth and I drove out into the desert to finally do something about it all. First, I got the pistol from my dad's place while he slept off his drunk. Next, we drove to Stanislaus' house in the hills, pistol whipped the maid, and took the book, the substance he had prepared for the ritual, and his notes, and then we drove an hour east, to the Rodman Mountains in the desert. It really seemed important then, and now I can't clearly say why I d...

THREAT MATRIX: TEMPORAL PREDATOR

A new threat for Delta Green.

Roiling blights that persist on the edge of reality, temporal predators are insubstantial entities hunt the periphery of our spacetime to render four-dimensional beings down to the component energy on which they subsist. Their habitat is beyond normal spacetime but they plunge into our reality like kingfishers diving to feed. Such intrusions are often mistaken for ghost lights, mysterious lights that appear at fixed intervals, or UFOs. <...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: MANNY HAD TO GO

No one knows. No one knows, Cal. I’m going to find out. 

I still have the phone message. He must have ditched the phone, because they never found him, or if they did, they never came to me about it. I listen to it, sometimes, when I’m lost in a problem and I can’t think my way out. I listen to my music and I listen to Manny, over and over again.  

And I think about Manny and his laugh, and his glasses and his pipe smoke. And I think, is there a thing that ...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: RUMMAGE SALE

It didn't come to me first, of course, and I have no idea how old it is really. I have some ideas though, you can kind of work it out from what's in it. I mean, I'm pretty sure a portion of it is from a Buick Skylark dash, there's a ZX Spectrum computer, and a 1966 Zenith black and white TV. Inside, from what I could see, was a mish-mash of some older remote control models, a board from a PONG machine, and a bunch of strange bronze rods and wires.
