Hey Guys,
So seeing as reddit is turning into a cluster I think I am going to spend less time over there; generally my Canada reddit seems to now be running the inquisition and I figure its only a matter of time under breedingmaterial gets shuttered (plays sad song).
Now onto my other thing; someone suggested Delta Green as a RPG system to me (big thank you by the way) and I am curious how many are familiar with it? To explain it sort of super-imposes chthulu lore over our actual present day (Trumps election is in the GM book). As I am curious what peoples play with it was like - I plan on running my first game of it soon as a sort of detached monster of the week sort of series of sessions with random players.
If you ever played Beyond the Supernatural (Palladium books 1987) They had a option to run a "victim campagain" where you had character creation rules for far weaker but specialized characters; the idea was that you roll up about a dozen or so and randomly hand them out and see how the players fair; once the group runs out of characters - the evil wins - but the players really just need to survive or ideally succeed on the one preset goal the GM writes and they win.
I have for the past 2 decades been running a Corpse party (yes like the anime name; I liked the name when I got the original in 1997) every year without fail. The game runs for the duration of October once a week - not showing up for a session means whomever you were playing dies in a gory cinematic fashion and thus reduces players chances.
Last year I killed over 23 players out of 25 for a 5 man party in a very interesting high school thriller (called it High School Maniacal) where the group eventually learned the police chiefs insane son had been secretly not executed and living with his parents.
This year if COVID continues I am thinking a very japanese like "Haunted Apartment building" except the idea would be the players are chinese people put into "forced lockdown" to prevent them from easily just leaving the building.
