The Grug In The Dark - MCA

Choose rockbanger. Choose berrypicker. Choose black fur and matching war mask. Choose flint tool stolen from shaman with wide range of fucking attachments. Choose bang away at mind-numbing, sanity-crushing thing from beyond stars, wonder whether grug better off stuffing rock in own mouth. Choose Chieftain in Yellow and wake up wondering who grug are. Choose 9 kilogram retirement plan. Choose go out with rockbang at end of it all, PGP-encrypting last message down securely laid smoke signal as Rust Covered Arrowhead wetgrug bust into cave.

Choose one last Night at the Bunga.

Choose Moss Covered Arrowhead.

By Fee Fi Fo Fin, on Blogspot

Created by Mellonbread & Co., Moss Covered Arrowhead (MCA) is a satirical hack of Delta Green where you play as a secretive clan of cavemen battling the Mythos in neolithic times.

It's a lot of fun. I suspect rolling back Delta Green's gameplay to its most "primal" has something to do with it. Your equipment is whatever you can craft. Your allies are your direct friends and family. Your authority is your reputation and personal monopoly on violence.

Or it might be all the clubbing and bunga puns.

Either way, I wrote a Shotgun Scenario for MCA based on a throwaway line in Gene Wolfe's "The Claw of the Conciliator". It's also heavily inspired by the Conan short stories written by Robert E. Howard. The playtest on N@TO was very popular. Hopefully you like it too.

Here's the scenario document.

Magnificent Tophat over on Spears and Spreadsheets also made a custom character sheet that we used in the playtest.
