Nothing brings me greater joy, as a GM, than handing a player a handout and hearing them chuckle and mutter, "Oh god... oh no," as they read it.

Which RPG Era are you? Rowan Rook and Decard is making a game where you can explore RPG history via a massive Meta(mega)Dungeon, but where do you belong in it?

@rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social has put out an unhinged quiz I feel compelled to share for non-contractual reasons

(My results are total bullshit but funny bullshit)

Last week, I had the joy of playing Death Game by @laurieoc.bsky.social
In the lead up to playing, I put together some reference sheets to help during play, and I thought I’d share them here.

It was so good that we all lost track of time, and I am now going to have a very sleepy day tomorrow at work.

I’ve recently been reading about the Plantagenet kings, and man, did the first few really know how to piss off the English barons. I guess there is some truth in the saying that they were French nobles who just happened to rule England.

Finally got around to painting my first miniature of the year today - my new D&D character, Everline Le Fey.

I’ve just posted a new blog post on my Tumblr about running chases in TTRPGs.

It was great fun and a solid introduction to what Delta Green is all about.

You can get the free Delta Green starter set here:

Over the past few weeks I’ve been running the introductory Delta Green scenario, “Last Things Last", for a few groups of friends.

I like when TTRPGs include intro scenarios like this, since they provide a ready-made introduction for the system.

Did more writing again today for my upcoming Delta Green campaign. I am really enjoying making physical handouts. There’s something about actually giving players an item that adds some real weight to whatever they’ve found.

Anyway, I thought I'd share another handout.

#DeltaGreen #TTRPG

Thanks for playing. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully next time all your crew will survive the trek.

Human Trials Notes The effects of Candens Viridi on the human body are surprisingly consistent. A standard dose (equivalent to one mushroom) renders individuals unconscious for approximately six hours. During this unconscious state, subjects appear to have accelerated healing. Minor cuts inflicted during this period of unconsciousness heal rapidly. In addition, pre-existing conditions show measurable improvement post-treatment. Reports indicate recovery or significant remission across a wide range of ailments, including cancers, bacterial infections, and physical injuries. The currently identified optimal dose of Candens Viridi is approximately 10 grams, equivalent to the mass of one mushroom. Changes in dosage appear to affect the duration of unconsciousness; however, further experiments using significantly higher or lower dosages are yet to be conducted. Patients regularly report vivid dreams while under the influence of the mushroom. This is considered a normal side effect for this class of substance. Potential further studies Experiments to determine the effects of both higher and lower dosage ranges Perform follow-ups into the long-term effects of the treatment. Investigate the effect on individuals who undergo multiple treatments.

I’ve been working on some more handouts for my upcoming Delta Green campaign and thought I’d share one of them here.

Small Prophets The magical and the mundane unfold in a suburban shed as a lonely man stumbles into the supernatural. A weird and wonderful world from Mackenzie Crook, starring Michael Palin.

I’ve recently been enjoying watching Small Prophets. It’s a quiet, chill comedy that makes for a calming watch. Just what you need if you want to switch off and unwind.
