Deep
Madness Scenario Chronology v8
UPDATED Aug 202121 total scenarios (canon) + 1
fan campaign (4 scenarios) + 1 fan-made expansion set (7
scenarios)
Seth (S.E) Lindberg and Phil Blake
Starting place for Deep Madness:· (optional) Read the Shattered Seas novel by Byron Leavitt
o Many key characters (People of Interest) in the novel are colored purple in the table
· Note: the Chronology Table below is not necessarily the suggested order of play
· For newcomers, the suggested playthrough order of Expansions is:
o Drowning in the Depths (tutorial scenario, provided in Faces of the Sphere/Profundum)o Core Box (scenarios 1-8)o Endless Nightmares (3 scenarios, any order) & Uncounted Horrors (1 scenario)o Other scenarios/campaigns
Chronology Table Scope:The original intent of the table was to organize the chronology of the canon scenarios to further narrative gameplay.
We include a representative fan made campaign (Premonitions of Despair led by Phil Blake and Fabio Faletti) to highlight the community involvement which included feedback/support from Diemension Game (Byron Leavitt sourced PDFs from their master files, DG gave permissions to use their art, and DG encouraged them). Check out the Facebook group, link below.
Exalted Blasphemies: Fans created expansions focused on the Epic monsters (colored red in the table) that did not have scenarios. (Phil Blake championed this and played a role everywhere; graphic design by Fabio Faletti, includes cover art by Chang Yuan, several stories by Seth (S.E.) Lindberg and Sam Parsons to complement Phil Blake’s writing; Oscar Bok and Mark Turner got kudus for playtesting. This was made available for the public Aug 2021.
