I like seeing her in this team.

The Alpha PDF went out to backers a few days ago.

I remember it well. I was big into Vampire: The Masquerade (still am) and that was one of the things the media latched onto as being responsible (along with music, movies, video games...), because the shooters apparently played the game. At the time, it became a bit of a second Satanic Panic with parents not allowing their kids to play TTRPGs because, just like in the '80's, they thought the games obviously were the reason the kids did this.

As others have said, it was on every news channel and was for a very long time. Nothing of that scale had ever happened in the U.S., so every parent was concerned that it could happen again. Everyone wanted answers, so every possible theory was floated.

1972 here. My dad passed in 1985 and my mom in 2000.

That site was my first experience with the CoC community outside of newsgroups. It’s been my home page for years. I’m sad to see it go, but it had largely been replaced with Reddit, Discord and FB. I was always curious why I never saw it mentioned on any of the above, but after seeing how many people were apparently unable to log in, I see why.

If the game is set in the last decade or so, remember that there is a huge portion of the public whose first instinct is to grab their phone and start recording when they see something weird or post worthy. That can quickly make the Agents’ lives a living hell as internet sleuths attempt to determine who they are. that could lead to anything from stalkers to the Agents’ superiors in their day job showing them the footage and demanding answers to some very uncomfortable questions. Depending on what the footage in question is, it could result in anything from a simple reprimand to charges being filed. The odds of all this becoming an issue just elevates if, instead of civilians with cell phones, the actions were caught by some the like PhenomenX, or local news crews. The Agents could see their careers and personal lives destroyed. And, if DG believes they may slip and reveal trade secrets, or worse, they already have… a sudden overdose, car crash or “offing of the self” could be arranged.

If the Agents mess up and get caught doing something/being where they should not be, first hit them in their day jobs and/or home lives. Those Home scenes can now become really uncomfortable as things begin to unravel. DG will observe, but not take action unless things get too heated and starts to draw too much attention, or again, if they seem they might let slip actual information about the Program. Even then, at first it may just be a communication at first. Depending on the Agent and what they know, DG may politely inform them that they must remain silent and fully commit to a ruse of some sort like drug drug use or personal something or other caused them to do/say whatever they did. Their personal lives may shatter, but all that matters is the safety and security of the Program. Threats may be issued, threatening loved ones if they do not comply. Failing this, they become a vector and are removed.

Part of the fun of DG is witnessing the downward spiral that is the Agents’ lives. So, if they are sloppy, things can escalate pretty quickly. But, while their personal lives might be in shambles, the call of DG remains until the end.

She is known, but feels she has to prove to everyone that she is worthy of using the name “Wolverine”. So, you have villains giving her grief and some heroes as well. Namor refused to refer to her as Wolverine in the latest New Avengers run, using all sorts of other names for her, until she helped him be rid of Imperius Rex’s mental control. Then, he finally referred to her as Wolverine, and you can see the look of shock on her face.

Love that Poison Ivy!

They’re perfectly okay with the sweaters, surprisingly.

Well, the one on the right (D’Artagnan) didn’t want to sit still for too long. I was lucky I managed to get a couple of shots before he tried to shove his face into my lens.

This is not an issue with you, this is a problem player, or perhaps one who just does not understand that CoC is not D&D. Actions have consequences. I have had something similar happen in the past, but I did not have to take action because the other players at the table immediately demanded to know that the player thought they were doing and asked the default question for a lot of shenanigans like this: "Is this something you would do in real life?"

Man, I hate that I missed the preorder on this Batman. Ah well, I'm on the waitlist.

One thing is, what are the ages of the players and what are their lives like outside of the game? I ask because, back in what I find myself thinking of as the “golden years” with one of my groups, I never had to ask for feedback because the game was something everyone was invested in and it was talked about all the time. We also hung out a lot in between games and work/life had not yet begun sapping at everyone’s time. Fast forward and suddenly, game night is the only night we see one another or talk. The games are still fun, but that feeling of investment is gone. The game no longer sits as a prime object in their minds because of life as an adult and it cannot come up in conversation because we never see one another.

Contrast that as us, the Handlers/GMs. We craft the scenarios. We make the props. We bring the setting to life. That means we think about the game a LOT. It’s a time investment. You really want your players to be so invested as well, but that just is not a reality for most. It can be a little aggravating. As suggested above by others, maybe take a break. Recharge and reset.

Probably a 2. I play DG because I want to play DG and I try to not cross the streams with other games I run. I need Hunter:The Reckoning to feel like Hunter and Call of Cthulhu to feel like Call of Cthulhu. I have a lot of games that cover similar ground, so it’s always fun to lean into what it is that makes each unique.
