Voting is open for another day or two at the Delta Green Mailing List for the 2013 Shotgun Scenario Contest. The scenario that gets the most votes will be playtested, edited, and featured in an upcoming issue of The Unspeakable Oath. Scenarios and voting are anonymous.
A Shotgun Scenario is a short adventure meant to be playable in one game session, preferably brief. It’s a way to shotgun the cosmic terror and personal horror of the Delta Green conspiracy. It doesn’t necessarily feature shotguns. The Shotgun Scenario Contest was created and is still run by fans of Delta Green.
