August Delta Green Scenario Triple Threat


Three Delta Green scenarios from August, recently added to my Delta Green master list.
Sir, This is a Wendy’s A chance encounter in the lobby of a fast food restaurant 
The Devil in a Forest - A Nazi anti-partisan unit heads into the woods to burn Belarusian villages
The Eleventh Cup - Agents hunt a mystery guest at an exclusive wine tasting

The first two scenarios were written for ZomnoCon, a weekend scenario jam. Participants had two days to write a Delta Green adventure, then a week to playtest and revise it. My interest in Delta Green (and RPGs in general) was flagging before this contest, which totally rejuvenated my desire to run the game.

Devil in a Forest was an adaptation of Come and See, but I wrote it before watching the movie. In the original draft of the scenario, if one of the Nazis turned on the other Bosche and killed them, Baba Yaga would spare him. After seeing how the film ends, I altered the ending of the scenario. The turncoat is rewarded only with a quick death.

The Eleventh Cup was a concept I'd had in development for a couple months but never done anything with. ZomnoCon restored enough energy to get the scenario in a playable state, and the playtest went well enough to push the project over the finish line. The "drink to reroll" concept could be ported to any Delta Green scenario, but incorporating it into the game diagetically took more work.
