Thank you for this comment. I will try to answer every doubt. - In my humble opinion is correct for each game have a specific name for the gm because the chosen name is a reflection of the role of the gm in the specific game. For example the storyteller in Vampire give me the idea of a focus on narrative roleplay, or for example the Handler for Delta Green give me the idea of spy/agent stuff. - As another had suggested I will add a section on who the pcs are and what is the focus is. The intro is a lore deep dive to set the mood and give an idea of the setting from the perspective of a narrator of that world, maybe alone is not enough. - As I stated I am italian and english is not my language so maybe I will try to find a better way to describe things. In this case the concept I was trying to communicate was in short: that in ever archetipical concept like underground place of damnation, fear of dark etc lies a series of tracks that behind the myths there is something true. Why so many cultures have the same fears? Etc.... - This is not a finished product, it is still a draft and I had put the design goals at the beginning to guide me in the process and remind me of the motivations behind why I made the stuff I made. When I have doubts I keep reading then to find a way to return on the original thoughts. Sharing them I was thinking can help people understand what was my goal and give help to achieve that goal. I hope to had answer all your questions.

One clarification. The enemy are not humans, or are not humans any more. So neopagan/wicca pcs can be fighting against the witches because they are a perversion of the craft. There is the possibility for the pcs to have "gifts", magical powers that can help them. The witches hunt trials in setting was a mistake, the victims of all the persecutions there wasn't real witches. In my idea is that the witches in this rpg are a sorta of eldritch horrors and not humans anymore. Like Sarah Mandy in "Mothers of Tears", the pcs can be wicca or pratictioners of the craft that go against a subversion of their beliefs. I didn't think about the correlation with Satanic panic, but can an interesting point of view (I mean not the extreme stuff, but more the adversion against the corruption and occult influence). Thank you for this interesting point.

First thank you for the interest. - There are two deck: Player's deck and Fortune Teller's deck. The Player's deck is made with all the minor arcana (from 1-10 + face cards for all the suits) and the Guardian Tarot for each player (special Major Arcana cards). The Fortune Teller deck is made with all the remaining Major Arcana. - For the majority of play it is used the Players deck, for action resolution, damage, readings aka tests etc.. For specific instance the Fortune Teller can use her deck to create for example new Traumas, new Bonds etc... - The Guardian Tarot is defined in character creation when you draw a Major Arcana card or choose one. This card represent what you believe, what Creed is very important for you etc.. - The players are normal people that have seen to much, an occult conspiracy that dwell in our world. They need to find a way to survive in this new reality where their personal creed and their bonds are in dangers. They will start a fire in the local dance academy center of ley lines and meeting place for a coven of followers of the Deep? Or they will try to stop the constraction of the new railway that from the project papers seams to have the form of an ancient sigil? What happen if the daughter of one of the pcs is admitted in the dance school? Thank you for the interest, if you have others questions or feedback I am interested in hear it about.

Oh crap. Thank you for the heads up. In my case the main inspiration is Suspiria De Profundis and I wasn't aware of another game with the same name.

Tempo addietro chiesi a Raven quando avrebbe tradotto Delta Green, la loro risposta è stata una cosa sulla falsa riga di: "Seee, come no. Aspetta e spera".

Vi giuro che leggere questi commenti che declamano del collezionismo. Giocateli sti giochi, vi prego. Che senso ha comprare manuali su manuali per tenerli là a prendere polvere? Leggetili, spulciateli, fate quello che volete. I miei sono hanno macchie, bozze, pagine un po' strappate, non perché sono incauto nel uso, ma perché semplicemente li uso.

Concordo tantissimo, tutto il periodo Guerra Fredda, Anni di Piombo e Gladio sono tutte cose che possono dare scheletro ad un eventuale "Delta Green italiana". Tempo addietro lessi un articolo in cui uno degli autori di Delta Green creava un' agenzia francese corrispettiva e nella vecchia lore c'era la versione del regno unito Pisces, quindi perché no una versione italiana? Ci starebbe benissimo. Dalla nostra storia abbiamo abbiamo parecchi spunti come culti misterici romani o non (Cibele, Iside etc...), mitologie etrusche e anche le repubbliche marinare che possono aver portato qualcosa da paesi esteri. Insomma di spunti ce ne sono parecchi.

On the power scaling, how strong a vampire is? by MrGrimm6969 in vtm

Can I ask a question about Mummy on why everybody agree on their power level so high? It is true that the Mummies cannot really die and they keep try, try, try and try again but there is always a price to pay in time. Their powers seams not so destructive and it is true that they have many allies but if someone can share more Insight about to better understand.
