USING THE
HAWKINS PAPERS
4
The handouts that make up the
Hawkins
Papers
are as improvisational as the rest
of the
Dracula Dossier
campaign. Drop
them into your game as needed, and let the
players decide how to interpret them and
what conclusions to draw.
The obvious time to give a handout
is when the Agents break into an Edom
archive at Ring (DH, p. 172), HMS
Proserpine
(DH, p. 169), Exeter (DH, p.
167), MI6 HQ, or similar. They grab what
they can before escaping, and among the
looted papers they find a handout or four.
Other times to drop a handout:
As proof of good faith or genuine
insider knowledge:
A handout,
even one that doesn’t have any bearing
on the immediate situation, can be a
shibboleth both in and out of character.
To the Agents, possessing an Edom
document is proof of a genuine
connection to the Conspiracy. To the
players, handouts imply significance
— this NPC must be important if she’s
giving us a physical prop!
When the bad guy drops:
Just
because the Agents killed the bad guys
instead of interrogating them doesn’t
mean the investigation stops there.
That Conspiracy goon has a stolen
letter tucked underneath his bullet-
proof vest, or a key to a safety-deposit
box containing a cache of Edom
papers.
As a reward for spends:
Whenever the Agents comb through
a library, consult with academics (or
rescue them from vampiric assassins),
Notice stuff in a spooky ruined
castle, or otherwise spend Academic
or Technical points when you don’t
have a good idea for another benefit,
throw them a handout.
When you need a twist:
Dropping
a handout in an unexpected place is a
great way to shake things up. Why does
the kindly old village doctor have a
copy of Seward Serum research notes
wrapped around a vial of blood? Why
did your late mother have a framed
photograph of Abraham Van Helsing
hidden in the attic?
This document, the
Hawkins Annex,
is
for the Director’s eyes only. Each handout
gets broken down as follows:
Description:
A summary of what the
handout is supposed to be.
Discovered:
Likely places for the
Agents to find the handout.
Clues:
A Director-friendly breakdown
of what’s in the handout, along with pointers
to entries in the
Director’s Handbook.
Connections:
Other people or groups
potentially associated with the document.
