A couple years ago, I created Delta Green Case Officer GERARD. He’s been my most popular NPC ever since. Enough that I wonder if maybe there’s an appetite for more Case Officers.

So let’s make some Case Officers!

### Voting

It's a game jam, so no voting, no winner. Just have a blast and make Case Officers

### Mellon's Tips

This is friendly advice, none of which constitutes a hard rule for submissions. Any submission will be accepted as long as it is in good faith.

Start with a name, an agency, maybe a geographic jurisdiction if you have a specific use case in mind for the Case Officer.

Then generate the three Ps.

* **Personality** - What is interacting with the Case Officer like?  What makes them memorable, and not just a voice yelling at you over the phone? What is their style? What is their agenda?
* **Progression** - Does the Case Officer change over time? Is information revealed about them that changes how the Agents feel about them? Do they become more helpful, or cause trouble?
* **Play** - How do the other two Ps manifest during a game? How is working with this Case Officer different from any other? Are there things they are good or bad at? Things they demand of you, or help you with, that another Case Officer might not?

The Case Officer’s stat block can mechanically represent details from this list, but also generate new leads: a case officer with a specific skillset can use that to help the Agents in gameplay. A Case Officer’s Bonds can have a strong impact on their progression, but only if there’s a way for that to actually show up in-game. The SAN score could be a countdown to the point where the Case Officer becomes the mission.

The whole thing doesn’t need to be longer than a page or two, but if you have an idea you like, run with it. There’s no rule against building a scenario into your Case Officer document, or adding other NPCs in who take a supporting role to the main character.

Oh and include a tagline that I can attach to the submission - a descriptive text for the character that fits on a single line.

### Logistics

This Case Officer Jam will last until **9:00 PM PST on April 26th, 2021**. Please post submissions to #ooc-contest-discussion chat, and ping discord user mellonbread#5971.
