Episode 1: Foundation and Framework - Building Delve Scenarios with Ask Agger and the Five Room Structure

Part 1 of 3: Creating "The Library of Apan'ra"

Join hosts Peter Randel, Carsten Eriksen, and Christian Eriksen as they begin a three-part deep dive into scenario creation for Coriolis: The Great Dark. In this foundational episode, discover how to transform archaeological exploration from simple treasure hunting into scenarios with genuine roleplaying opportunities, meaningful action sequences, and real depth.

Learn to apply Ask Agger's proven scenario design methodology and the evolved Five Room Dungeon concept to create delve scenarios that serve both philosophical players and action-oriented crews. Using "The Library of Apan'ra" as a working example, the hosts demonstrate how to identify your scenario's Heart, structure dramatic beats that preserve player agency, and integrate narrative architecture with The Great Dark's delving mechanics.

Perfect for game masters seeking practical tools to create scenarios where environmental hazards serve character development, where crew dynamics become tactically relevant, and where every discovery advances a central thematic question.
