The cats from Arkham are back! After experiencing the full horrors behind Tomtom's demise and surviving to tell the tale the cats of Arkham are again head into the shadows of Arkham when they are approached by a proud, regal cat who asks for their help with matters involving the moon.
The political landscape of Rome is shifting subtly and the family is under attack. First the head of the family was assassinated and now the daughter, Oppia, is missing. The family, along with trusted friends, now gathers at the family home for an evening meal. While this is the opportunity to discuss family business the main topic of discussion is the suspicions of your honoured guest, Senator Strabo, and how his story relates to the disappearance of Oppia.
Prepare yourself for a roller-coaster ride through ancient Rome where assassins and much much worse lurk in the shadows and players try to keep their wits and their head about them (literally) during these dangerous times.
I first ran this at Confusion 2010.

The next morning, the frightful news spreads through the neighborhood cats: Tomtom did horribly that night! Can you track down the evil serial killer stalking the feline population of Arkham before he or she strikes again?
Re-run of last years game.
Something is up at Wormwood Mental Hospital. The friendly Doctor Rice has disappeared with rumours abound and now some the patients are behaving oddly. You feel unsafe, nervous, about to go over the edge. You reach out to your friends, if you can call them that in this odd place, touch their hands, friendly hands, warm hands, you're not alone. You feel better. If only you could find out what was going on....
There's this great concert at Alpha Centauri, so you all piled in your buddy's clapped out old starship for a road trip. Then something started making a grunking noise, and now you're stuck on some backwater planet called Earth. You need to find a way to fix your warp shunt, while dodging MIBs, UFO cultists, and the gun-toting redneck whose wheat field you crashed into.
Earth is a paradise. Utopia has come to pass, life is perfect. But some people just aren't suited for perfection. But some people must fight to preserve the tranquil ideallism, and drive off the alien menace.
For this, there is the 3:16th, the most elite of the Terran Expeditionary Force. Peace is your profession. Get to it trooper.
It is meant to a good old holiday away from the noise and stress of modern life. But it's never that easy, is it!
"Muuuuum, I'm booooored."
You've ridden your bike, played with your rollerblades, padda tennis is lame, you broke your water pistol three days ago, you've played "Guess Who" eighteen million times, and your sister is annoying you.
And there's no TV.
You're a kid and summer holidays at Lake Taupo are always wet and boring. The grown-ups just want grown-up time and the kids next door went home two days ago. Kind of weird that they didn't say good bye. And now, not only is it going to rain, apparently there's a big storm coming...
London. Winter. 1963.
It is a year since the Cold War went hot.
And this was not just a nuclear war.
Far more sinister, darker weapons were deployed from the shadows.
Survival and re-building are all that matter now. But human nature and tragic circumstances mean that everyone has their own ambitions.
...a Government desperate to hold on to what remains of the country.
...military forces who wish to expand their power and influence.
...frightened and brutalised refugees who simply want a place to call home.
Into this maelstrom steps the Special Situations Group, a motley band of men and women tasked with the jobs too dirty or dangerous for anyone else.
'Things Fall Apart' is a Hot War scenario written by Scott Dorward for the Hot War Transmission Issue 2.
