Harker (S)Entries - a Dracula Dossier Starter

One of the central questions for starting a Dracula Dossier campaign is to decide how the agents are going to get the actual dossier. There are a couple of options given in the book, as well as some published operations that can do it. Two of those published operations are (S)Entries and the Harker Intrusion. I could not decide which, so I used both, roughly like this. (S)Entries is available in the Nights Black Agents core book, and The Harker Intrusion is one of the Edom Files adventures.

Dracula Dossier Session 1

Following some discussion and offline character creation, the agents get together in early April 2011. Our dramatis personae:

  • S, playing Padraig - Irish actor, formerly linked to drug running, and then pressured by EUROPOL to act as a courier to provide gear and funds to informants and similar shady characters
  • N, playing Yannis - Belgian hacker who got recruited by the ADIV/SGRS a while back. Mostly a desk jockey who acts as the ‘guy in the chair’.
  • An, playing Cooper ‘Coop’ - All-American patriot. Former Marine, pulled into the CIA as a wetworker. Easily the most trigger-happy of the group, mostly because he is the only one in the group who can really shoot.
  • Al, playing Petros - ‘Ambiguously Balkan’, openly works for the dog/horse racing rings that the various Balkan mafias are involved with. Is actually deep cover for the Romanian foreign intelligence agency - the SIE.

These first few session reports are based on two published adventures: The Harkness Files and (S)Entries. I have mashed them up, which takes up the first four sessions or so. Spoilers for both of those in these, and for the Dracula Dossier as a whole.
