Don't rightly know what that is but I'm intrigued to learn.

So, for those of you that don't know, hundreds of people are disappearing off the face of the earth every year in national parks. So, this is pretty fucking weird right? Well, it gets weirder. Let's say a group of hikers were walking about. Since I'm bad with names, we'll have them be hikers A, B, C, and D. Suddenly, hiker B goes ahead of the group, heading behind a rock. The rest of the group follow along, only to realize B is gone. No trace of leaving at all.

lets say they ran back to a sheriff's office or something that's nearby. They report it to the sheriff, and they send out a search group. There's nothing. B just disappeared.

A few months or a year later, let's say a new group of hikers, H, J, and R, find B's dead body a few miles away on a really high mountain. They report it to the same sheriff, and they're all like "wtf?!" Because they checked that area many times seven years ago. They go and take a look at B's body, only to find fresh food in their stomach.

Not really.
Have you ever met people? People are fucking morons who never listen to professionals trying to protect them from themselves.

You don't understand, a good portion of these people are experienced climbers, hikers, outdoors-men and even the park rangers themselves in some cases.

These people aren't just wandering off into the woods, something is taking them for a certain amount of time, then returning their deceased bodies in extremely odd locations and sometimes even in places that had already be searched by SAR .

Spooky

>>54549689
Don't forget
>sometime they're just out of sight for second or two and still manage to completely disappear

Also a pretty long video that shows off some of the more weirder disappearances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJjN00g2FMU

>>54549321
Thats not that weird at all anon. Thousands would be strange, but a few hundred people out of 300+ million is a rounding error. As for the details, probably just made up by the loved ones or other irrational people to justify their fear of BS.

>>54549321
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.

>>54549321
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

>>54548874
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.

>>54548874
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.

>>54554164
Faeries? Really? Those don't exsist.

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

>>54549321
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.

>>54554792
Really? What's the scenario like?

>>54554482
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.

>>54553952
Kind of sounds like that ruins of mars game story where everybody eventually just kills themselves lol

>>54556769
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.

>>54551339
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.

>>54551339
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.
