Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: The Mitchum Cleary Time Loop?

« on: August 12, 2015, 10:14:48 AM »

So I know we seem to the Mitchum loop as an eternal hell of time travel, but is it? Is there the possibility of it being an open loop, where after Bryson Springs, the time travel back, and then Sense he continues on to new adventures with another Mitchum co-existing up to a point?

Note to self: Arrive early next year and shadow RPPR crew until Glancy game in attempt to join in.

Also the photo of Caleb and David standing, looking at one another feels like the nerdiest wrestling staredown.

RPGs / Re: Red Markets at GenCon/Upcoming Beta

« on: August 02, 2015, 09:03:45 PM »

Getting to play Red Markets at GenCon was alot of fun. We did pretty poorly and for a bit after the game I felt a real sense of failure.after about ten minutes I became overjoyed because I realized a game had gotten a real emotional reaction out of me. Well done Caleb, I look forward to making my players depressed in the beta testing.

It was a blast! Getting to play in that game was an absolute treat and definitely helps me get into the mindset for running playtest games in the near future. And let's not forget, Tad, while it may have to shit near the end there it was certainly memorable. ALL HAIL THE TOOLKIT!

While I loved The Walking Dead season 1, I found season 2 to be severely lacking, so your mileage may vary. I think my lukewarm response may have amplified due to playing The Wolf Among Us, Telltale's Fables game, and while enjoying it becoming vary aware of the seams and puppet strings within Telltale's particular style. Either way TWD Season 1 and TWAU Season 1 are both pretty damn good and very recommended.

DELTA GREEN UPDATE

So Gen Con has come through and there are now 2 DG panels, one Thursday night from 8-10 (SEM1578921) and one Saturday night from 6-8 (SEM1578922). Thursday is the Agent's Handbook panel and Saturday is the Case Officer's Workshop.

So apparently Gen Con never approved the Delta Green panel for this year, so Shane Ivey is trying to get an underground panel set up sometime probably Thursday or Saturday night. Dunno how that might effect the meet-up, since we made the trek mid meet-up last year.

Some smaller tips to piggy back on Tad's

• Baby powder is a godsend. Apply liberally to locations that may rub, chafe, or sweat from large amounts of walking and movement.
• Bathe! It can never be understated, but please bathe, freshen up, and/or reapply deodorant when ever possible. A travel size deodorant/antiperspirant is an excellent addition to any messenger bag or backpack.
• Speaking of backpacks, if you stop at a booth in the Exhibit hall, especially on a high-traffic lane, please be courteous and move your bag into a position where it doesn't stick out into the aisle. Setting it at or on your feet helps you keep an eye on it and keeps people from running into your bag.
• Shoes are another important con item. I recommend bringing two pairs of shoes, preferably ones that you would feel comfortable wearing for long periods of time and walking around in. Swap between them every day to allow them to dry out from your sweaty feets so they don't get extra stinky and uncomfortable!

I believe the current GroupMe plan is one for General Chat and one for Announcements.

From what I gathered between playing in Blacksat and the DG panels last year, Greg Stolze is working on a set of short scenarios that act as both a Delta Green teaching aide and as background for Delta Green characters. So you'd run your group through Blacksat and a few other one-shots, scoop up the damaged, but still functional, survivors and have DG recruit them for your campaign.

As from the scenario itself, I thought it was pretty fun, and there's nothing quite as hilarious as Greg Stolze leaning over, flipping your character sheet over, and quietly saying "You're dead now," while the rest of the table is freaking out on what to do.

There were still spots in all of them last I checked.  I haven't played with Shane Ivey but got to die in Greg Stolze's "Blacksat" game last year and it was excellent.  Stolze described the "Star Chamber" game way back on Unspeakable! number 5, I think.  If for some weird reason you needed more than "Stolze + Delta Green" you could give that a listen to get a preview.

You died in Blacksat too?! No way! How did you go out? I suffocated in my EVA suit on the space walk.

This is what I imagine that initial Red Markets playtest looked like.
