How aboot the 'enemy' group of individuals are another group of Delta Green types/fighters of cthulhu who have been trapped by some metaphysical catch-22 and are trying to get out of it without breaking the rules of the contract (which can be very serious, like CTHULHU coming back or some such) by doing these bizarre crimes to attract the attention of Delta Green so they can stop, but still keep the BIG BADDIE in check (which the PCs will then fill that role)

If you really want to screw with your PCs heads (and this will change the metaphysics of the basic game), is that there are no cthulhu etc monsters (but there are spells, going insane, etc) and these people who are doing these strange killings think that their targets are some infected/demon posessed/hound of tindalos hybrid?  Maybe have some big reveal at the end, showing that all the monsters that the PCs have killed ever were really just ordinary people...

Just some idears off the top of my 'ead...

One of my players has a character who has Ranged Weapon Pistol with 3 hard dice.  My problem as gm is how to deal with this without always giving every villain armor or defense powers.  Any ideas??

Does he sleep with his gun, always?  Potential stealing...ransom...

Have him travel to a country with strong gun control laws...

He has to pay taxes (the IRS don't need armour...)

Maybe someone sues him for damages?

Arrested for homicide?

A series of attacks, murders happen with a gun that has similar ballistics, so the police confiscate it?

There are a whole slew of ways to 'deal with this' that don't have anything to do with game mechanics or violence...
