I DM for my brothers and cousins occasionally, but now that all save one are in college or have graduated we don't get to get together as much and so play one-shots. We've decided to move away from D&D (probably eventually to Fate), and this Thanksgiving I want to run a Delta Green game. I'm not great at horror, though, so I'm hoping there's a published adventure I can reskin a bit.
The basic plot would be that a six months from now, I commit suicide. A year after that, my brothers and cousins (playing themselves in the future) are contacted by Delta Green, a group dedicated to combatting supernatural threats to the world, and are informed that I didn't commit suicide but was in fact murdered for a ritual. They're recruited and in between their day jobs they help Delta Green hunt monsters.
Five years after that, they go on a mission they believe is related to my death. On the way they'll discover that Delta Green is wrong and the horrors they've been facing are entirely natural, if eldritch, squamous, and non-Euclidian. In the end, they'll find out that I neither committed suicide nor was murdered, but instead am actually Nyarlathotep. Then they'll probably die or go insane 'cause, you know, Call of Cthulhu.
So, advice? Adventures I can reskin a bit?
