ETU students fight monsters

thumbnail of Wolves of the Cold WarNamed after the great wolf of Norse mythology, the Fenris Project was based on blood and tissue samples collected from an actual lycanthrope captured during World War II by the Waffen SS in occupied Romania. Through their research, the Nazi scientists hoped to develop an injection that would turn their soldiers into the superhuman berserkers of Teutonic folklore. After the war, the project fell into Communist hands and the work continued right up until the Soviet Union’s collapse. Now, the virus has really fallen into the wrong hands.

Modern Dispatch #85: Wolves of the Cold War includes all of the following:

  • Background on the Fenris Project
  • A template for characters infected with the Fenris virus
  • 3 adventure outlines: Wolf Gang, Bigfoot Rampage, The Big Hit
  • One page of stand up figures for The Big Hit adventure outline
  • One page interior map of a private jet
  • Pinebox News, news from 12 to Midnight’s fictional town of horror–including adventure seeds
  • Ten pages of content, plus the OGL.
