Welcome to tonight's session of Call of Cthulhu. The year is 1925, and our story takes us to Northern China, where strange reports have emerged from the ancient Yungang Grottoes. Local workers have gone missing, and unusual botanical specimens have been discovered growing within the sacred Buddhist caves. Miskatonic University has dispatched a team of specialists to investigate.

Welcome agents, to tonight's operation. The year is 2019, and Delta Green has detected unusual activity in Haiti's northern coastal region. Three archaeological teams have gone missing in the past month while investigating pre-colonial artifacts. Their last communications mentioned "voices from the deep" and "walking shadows." The Department of Interior and Homeland Security have formed a joint task force under the guise of a cultural heritage preservation mission. Your flight lands in Cap-Haïtien in one hour.

Welcome to tonight's session of The Laundry Files RPG. We find ourselves in 2010, a time when the occult mathematics of CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN have begun to accelerate. Our agents have been dispatched to the Philippines on what should have been a routine retrieval operation. The Capital Region Archives in Manila reported strange patterns appearing in century-old Spanish colonial documents. What began as a simple archival assessment has spiraled into something far more sinister.

Welcome to tonight's Delta Green operation. I'm Sage Bennett, your Keeper for this dark journey. The year is 2019, and you've been assembled as a specialized forensic team for a classified mission to South Sudan. A UN peacekeeping outpost near the Sudd wetlands has gone silent after reporting the discovery of unusual remains. Your cover is as scientific consultants assessing potential archaeological sites and environmental impacts.

Welcome, investigators. Tonight we delve into the mysteries of Micronesia in 1923, where strange happenings have been reported among the ancient ruins. The Miskatonic University has funded your expedition to investigate unusual artifacts recently recovered from the region and reports of bizarre aquatic phenomena. The local populations speak of ancient songs rising from the depths and fishermen gone missing.

Welcome to our Trail of Cthulhu investigation set in 1925 Cameroon. The colonial powers of France and Britain have divided this African nation between them following Germany's defeat in the Great War. Our investigators have journeyed to this distant land in search of a rare manuscript rumored to contain forbidden knowledge of ancient powers.

Welcome everyone to tonight's session of Call of Cthulhu. The year is 1932, and our investigators find themselves in Algeria, North Africa. After World War I and the devastating Spanish Flu, academia resumed its relentless pursuit of knowledge. Our investigators are part of a joint archaeological expedition between Miskatonic University and the British Museum, investigating ancient ruins recently discovered in the Aurès Mountains of eastern Algeria. The expedition is funded by the reclusive industrialist Winston Hargrove, who has taken a peculiar interest in Algerian artifacts dating back to the Carthaginian period.

Welcome to Delta Green, agents. Tonight we find ourselves in modern-day Japan, where a DARPA research station has gone silent after reporting unusual seismic activity off the coast of Aomori Prefecture. Your team has been assembled under the guise of a joint research initiative, but your actual mission is to investigate the facility and determine what happened to the research team. The year is 2023, and tensions with China and North Korea have diverted most military attention elsewhere, leaving your small team to handle what appears to be a localized phenomenon... or so the bureaucrats believe.

Welcome to tonight's operation. The year is 2078, and humanity has established its first research outpost in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. Callisto Station Alpha floats 150 kilometers above Jupiter's cloud tops, anchored by experimental gravitational tethers. Two smaller facilities branch off from it: The Ganymede Observatory, which studies Jupiter's Great Red Spot, and the Europa Deep Cloud Probe, which has been sending drones into Jupiter's lower atmosphere. For months, strange signals have been emanating from deep within Jupiter's clouds. DARPA and other agencies have sent your team to investigate disturbing discoveries and the sudden loss of contact with several research teams.

Welcome to tonight's Delta Green operation. The year is 2037, and humanity has finally established its first research base on Uranus. Codenamed "Anaxagoras" after the pre-Socratic philosopher who first proposed a scientific description of the cosmos, this base was established by a joint NASA-private sector initiative. What started as a triumph of human exploration has become a nightmare. Three weeks ago, communications with Anaxagoras Base stopped abruptly. The last transmission included fragmented video showing personnel exhibiting erratic behavior, speaking in tongues, and self-mutilation. A recovery team was sent in and managed to establish temporary communications before they too went silent. Their final report mentioned something called "The Whispering Void" and "entities moving within the methane storms." Delta Green has been called in under deep cover as a special scientific assessment team. You'll be traveling on the UNSC Prometheus, ostensibly as specialists brought in to determine what environmental factors may have caused the psychological break.
