Fragile Bonds, and Frightening Loyalties – Sandbaggers part 3

We have reached the third installment of this series on increasing our familiarity and flexibility with game mechanisms by watching and assessing appropriate media while thinking of them in terms of those mechanisms. In particular, this series of posts, however many it turns out to be, is looking at the cold war spy drama called The Sandbaggers and two Cthulhu Mythos covert action roleplaying games: Delta Green and World War Cthulhu. I still haven't decided if this series will go the distance […]

It's #DeltaGreen playtest time! 👁️📚 Tonight is Session 1 of 3. The Agents are minutes away from their briefing, the operation is ready, and the horrors are waiting.

Now we'll see how they handle it.

Good luck, Agents. The Program believes in you. The odds do not. 😄 #ArcDream #TTRPGs

Am Wochenende war die #Lindencon, die #pnpleipzig Con. Es war sehr schön, trotz der großen Hitze.
Gespielt habe ich freitags #DeltaGreen und sonntags #CallOfCthulhu. Beides sehr unterhaltsam!
In beiden Slots am Samstag habe ich selbst geleitet: erst #Dishonored von #Modiphius, abends #AlienRPG von #FreeLeaguePublishing. Auch die liefen toll. Lange nicht mehr so gut das Pacing hinbekommen.
Insgesamt tolle Veranstaltung wieder! Vielen Dank an die @gugelgilde und alle SLs!

et ceci dit, comme on l'a dit entre nous, #DeltaGreen impose de la perte de santé mentale aux personnages. Ca reste assez abstrait. Hier, non. Personnages ET joueurs ont ressenti brutalement une infinie tristesse, une lourde culpabilité, une colère impuissante, l'écoeurement de la cruauté du monde

Je ne dis pas que j'ai filé la plus énorme baffe émotionnelle de leur vie de rôliste #DeltaGreen à mes joueureuses @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] et @[email protected] , mais il y a de ça. Et je suis assez content de moi

I've been up for a few hours, sipping coffee and working on Roll20 for my #DeltaGreen playtest tomorrow before the family wakes up. ☕👁️

Then it's Father's Day activities and the kiddo's performances for the rest of the day. I can't turn my brain off sometimes.

It's my gift. It's my curse. 😄

Sitting on the couch reading #DeltaGreen rules, prepping for Monday… when my kiddo asked about it.

So I ended up spending 20 minutes teaching her Delta Green basics with the Fallout 3 soundtrack playing in the background.

Honestly? That’s the best kind of day. 👁️📚🎮

This does put me in mind of the time that #JuliaChild (she of “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” fame) was publicly outed as an agent of #DeltaGreen (qv, https://davescorneroftheuniverse.wordpress.com/2014/07/16/the-french-chef-and-lovecraft-or-how-i-discovered-a-historical-writer-had-used-the-cthulhu-mythos-in-her-book/), or when #MageTheAscension’s Technocracy found its way into #RobertAntonWilson’s encyclopaedia of conspiracies “Everything is Under Control” by way of @anderssandberg’s #TTRPG campaign blog.

I have a forty-five minute drive each way from my home to work, and my car radio doesn’t work. Fortunately the CD player does, so I often raid the Estacada Public Library for books on CD to listen …
