A tunnel under the Elbe, a pawnshop, a foundation in Basel, a cellar in Anderlecht. Eight files for one long evening each, all built the same way: briefing, a web of five nodes, escalation, confrontation and aftermath.

White dice come from the attribute and succeed on 5 or 6. Coloured dice come from the skill and succeed on 4, 5 or 6.

Contents

• Eight files from "Foster Child" to "The Second Light" plus the introduction, 9 GM journals in total with background, people, nodes and enemy values.

• 8 scenes, one per file, with the grid set from the scale bar of each map: Old Elbe Tunnel, Hold-9 basement, Gwynne's Pawnshop, the Foundation in Basel, the village green of Oberwölz, the manor house at Lake Solberg, Museum Haus der Bergleute, the cellar in Anderlecht.

• 24 handouts from the companion booklet, one journal per file. The GM shares them when the cell finds them.

• 22 enemies with values, dice pools, portrait and token, exactly the ones the files refer to.

• 74 map pins, visible to the GM only.

Journals, handouts and enemies are not shared with players.

What is missing

The book prints the maps only with a numbered key, and the key gives away what the GM knows. In the scenes that text is therefore covered; short pieces of grid line are missing underneath. The full maps sit in the GM journals. The module has no ready agents; the four from the starter adventure fit.

Requirement

The O.D.I.N. ruleset in Realm VTT. The enemies are included; the enemy module is not needed. The German version is O.D.I.N. Graue Akten: Acht Einsätze.

The book

"Grey Files: Eight Missions for the Game Master" and the companion "Grey Files: Handouts" are free PDFs: https://odin-rpg.pages.dev/en/book/grey-files. Anyone who wants to play these files as a player should not read it.
