Missing 411 Scenarios

Is that also the one where toddlers and young kids vanish behind a bush, massive manhunt happens for several days, but have to call it off after massive storms, and then the kids appear a week later with dry clothes, zero signs of malnutrition, about 10-20 miles away, which is an impossible distance for a kid that age to travel.

Which is more likely:

>Dude snaps and wants to go start a new life and runs off to build a log cabin in the forest, while hiking near his new homr, eats poison mushrooms and dies
Or
>Dude wanders off path, gets lost in forest, lives in woods and forages for survival, lasts a few months but ultimately ends up dying from malnutrition, climbs up a mountain to try to get a view to escape, collapses from exhaustion and dies
Or
>Dude gets kidnapped by faeries

They accidentally stumble into the hedge, of course.

You all seem to be missing the point. Regardless on what you think about the disappearances themselves, he just wants brainstorming of ideas on making a scenario based on the missing 411.

I would take all the skepticism and play it up a bit. The PCs are essentially scoffed at by other professionals or Federal employees for looking into the matter. Something doesn't sit right with them and they want to look into it, or Cell A of DG decides to assign them this case because something is off about the whole thing.

Now, do you want a known mythos entity being responsible or are you making something up?

Also you can take some of the known cases and make a campaign out of it. Researching each case, leading to various different unnatural encounters and adding links to all of these creatures of phenomena. Maybe finding out it can be led to a central source.

Say for example running into wendigos, bigfoot/Yeti, or whatever else you want to add. All of this eventually leading to something like Ithaqua. Have various phenomena that they can run into that isn't just a "monster of the week" related to Ithaqua.

Faeries? Really? Those don't exsist.

It was Bigfoot. It's the only logical explanation.

There is literally a DG scenario about this, its going to be included in the Big Book. There's an actual play on it at The Unspeakable Oath. Operation: Fulminate

Thats what he says in the OP, but its clear he's a nut. Otherwise he wouldnt have saved that image.

Really? What's the scenario like?

I think all of Cthulhu has a scenario where it's Ithaqa or the mio-go are creating ice storms and fog and to hinder the searches of their victims, The cover up their mining out on a cold winter mountain.

Kind of sounds like that ruins of mars game story where everybody eventually just kills themselves lol

Actually yeah. That fits really well with the 411 cases. There is always a strange period of poor weather that disrupts the search and fucks with the remains.

As of the 6th book (Yes there are 6 books the shortest of which has 300 pages of missing people)there are at LEAST 2000 missing people.

A werewolf pack hiding deep in Yellowstone National Park (Yellowstone if freaking huge). Most of the time the werewolves only operate at night and they just pick on the local wildlife. But every now and then some of the younger pack-members get adventurous. You could have a situation where the PCs and the pack elders are hell-bent on killing the same miscreant.

But it is thousands!
Thousands of people are going missing under similar, strange circumstances in US national parks aswell as the world. It's becoming more frequent in recent years...

This has potential,

How about a pack of semi-intelligent tribal raptors who live in a vast subterranean cave network under the park. The raptors are akin to mammal like reptiles with fur like feathers but are still velociraptor-like in appearance. They survived the extinction by moving underground and have been taking people in the park region for thousands of years.
Some miners from the 1800's have accidentally stumbled opon the caves and were killed too.
