This requires that there's some kind of being that remembers the original pantheon (and how do they know?), or some sort of physical evidence, either of which has escaped the All-Father's notice and/or wrath for some reason.
They'd have to learn most of it, but I'd warn them in advance that the All Father is vicious when questioned since that's something they'd have seen and in some cases experienced for themselves. Learning about the confined pantheon members is something that would have to be discovered in play since it is critical to any attempt to overthrow or escape the All-Father.

Especially when you discover it's on a 35 year cycle...

The characters are agents of the IISS taking an Empress Marvara into Vargr territory. Their job is to credibly pretend to be black market free traders dealing in underground goods while seeking intelligence on corsairs and their contacts.

Just following D-Day, your Ranger team has an odd mission. You are to go through no mans land and find Corporal John Bryan.

Magical Girl Apocalypse: The characters are a team of fuku-wearing Japanese magical girls. But instead of being from a late 20th century suburb, you are in 1944, hunting demons released from confinement as their prisons are disrupted by the bombing campaign.

Need some cool sciency stuff for your screenplay but you don't know any science because you went to art school?

844-NEED-SCI can help. It's a service set up by the National Academy of Sciences that will connect you to a scientist in your area of interest.

The WSJ has an article here, but it's behind a paywall.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/scientis...ish-1452473839

You should be able to get through if you enter the title of the article into Google, and then click on the link Google gives you. That'll bypass the paywall.

SAU: Special abductees unit: The players play alien cops sent out to a backwater planet called earth to stop illegal abductions that are happening there. pretty much an alien police procedural game with a little space western thrown into the mix
