I'm looking at running Delta Green's Music from a Darkened Room one of the ways to solve the case is smashing the mirror with an Elder Sign. I am unfamiliar with elder signs, what are they, how would my players get/create one/know about one/etc. edit: where did folks get in on the last / most recent playtest for DG stuff? I playtested one a while ago (The Observer Effect, which was loving fantastic) through the kickstarter but I haven't seen any messaging on anything new other than Shane mentioning it during a roll20 one-shot I did with him.

Looks like I'm settling on either Kali Ghati (on the recommendation of mister Ivey) or Lover in the Ice. Thoughts?

Sounds like the being-worked-on Delta Green book is clocking in at 550ish pages.

Delta Green: Holy poo poo the case officers handbook is huge. The copy only version dropped for backers and patreon supporters. I also think the raid jackets shipped (which were my idea).

The jackets came about because I asked Shane if I could use the logo to get a one-off for myself (and to get a nice vector version of the logo) and he said hey actually folks might like that, can we make them and give you one at cost? So it was pretty quick. It went up on facebook and reddit and it looks awesome.

Yeah and it's a legit raid jacket, they had to go through the same folks who make tons of police and law enforcement jackets, so it feels authentic rather than just being a silk-screened windbreaker.

A few raid jackets available here https://shop.arcdream.com/collections/collectibles/products/delta-green-raid-jacket They're also selling the misprint hosed up ones for 30 bucks, which honestly feels VERY delta green. Elendil004 fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jun 29, 2017 |

Yoshimo posted:Looking over the Delta Green books again. There's a huge difference between how many points the careers start off with (not including the baseline values the skills start off at.) Computer sci does have 1 less bond, which means that have more skills to compensate. Though that should only account for an extra 50 pts. I only calculate about 420 depending on the pick 4 you take for computer scientists though, check your math?

I played a one-shot and it was fun and pretty pulpy but I wouldn't really be into a long-form game of it.

A Delta Green one-shot I'm running this Sunday at 6pm EST could probably use another player or two. Reddit post is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NightAtTheOpera/comments/6uyo90/cabin_in_the_woods/ Pitch is: quote:On 15 February 2003, 1-325th Airborne Infantry deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. On 27 March 2003 the Battalion crossed the border and saw ground combat in As Samawah, Fallujah and Baghdad. On the evening of April 28, 2003, several hundred civilians ignored a curfew imposed on them by the U.S. military. They proceeded to march through the streets of Fallujah, past the soldiers positioned in the local Ba'ath party headquarters. They wished to protest outside a local school (al-Qa'id primary) about the United States military presence within the school [C/1-325th AIR]. A U.S. Army Psychological Operations team attempted to force the civilians to disperse with announcements, but the team failed in this attempt. According to locals, at this point the United States soldiers fired upon the unarmed crowd, killing 17 and wounding more than 70 of the protesters.

LuiCypher posted:Anybody run Kali Ghati and had the group decide 'gently caress it, let's bribe the Afghans' instead? KG is one of the weaker scenarios, it was basically a playtest of the new DG combat rules and it kinda shows. I've had fun running it but I've never had fun playing it for what it's worth.

Cult stuff maybe, where he can write off the crazier aspects as just the cultists buying into it but still a serious threat (but to him, human)

You pitch, then if you're chosen, you write the whole thing and come up with pre-gens - 8000-12000 words plus 6 characters. Good god that feels long. Even my shotgun (1500 word) scenario felt like a lot of words.

Really solid collection of Delta Green scenarios avail for preorder https://shop.arcdream.com/products/...campaign=buffer Nothing "new" but a good way to get some PDF ones in a nice print version. Observer Effect is one of my favorites, Music from a Darkened Room is a classic horror scenario and the others I'm not familiar with.

I think at this point, with the handlers the guide done that's all basically good. ArcDream consistently overdelivers late and I'm ok with that.

The two scenarios for Control Group so far have been great. Blacksat is unique and really cool, and I'm running Night Vision this weekend. (I still need players for this hint hint)

mellonbread posted:Here's a couple or three things I've been working on for Delta Green. Bunch of scenarios, a sourcebook, that sort of thing. Can confirm, having played in and then ran the first three (the starkweather foundation trilogy) that it's a solid little adventure. I had 5 players and we had a total of 10 PCs throughout it, only 2 of the dead PCs were at my hand, the rest were friendly fire as the group turned on itself in a spectacular moment.

Favorite to run was Act 2. Watching PCs solve BESTOW was great, and I had a friend text the "clue" to one of my players so they just thought it was some scam text and when they put two and two together it was great. To play in, I played an earlier version of Act 3, but my Agent basically told the king in yellow to gently caress off and only lost a few SAN for it, so he's seen Hastur in full glory and was like "meh, I lost more to that Shoggoth (a full 20)."

I'd like to invite everyone to contribute to the first annual /r/nightattheopera Scenario Contest. This contest requires that folks build a scenario around a selection from a list of themes/features, so it should make for interesting stuff. More information in the link below. Excited to see what folks drum up! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QsWZHrDCkoBhTMAaXUjrVFSvjq_F58Xl1f3Bmv-MyHk/edit?usp=sharing
