Top Hat's Home Delta Green Campaign: Sessions Thirteen and Fourteen

With Matiopia busy doing things with her family and Winkdeath busy doing...something, I was left with only one player, Blue. Fortunately, when I suggested a solo session she jumped at the chance. I deliberated between running mellonbread's Rehab or ChiefMcClane's Now You See Me with some additions from one of my other friends. I'd run both scenarios before and both as solo ops (as the latter was initially playtested with three players) but opted to go for the latter, as Agent Leonard's skills were better suited to finding its clues.

Stealth and Surprise in Begone, FOE!

 So one of my internet friends wrote up a system because he was tired of adding house rules to B/X but still wanted something that could run "old school content." I've played in it a whole bunch and I think it's pretty neat. In fact, right now, I'm working on some stuff I intend to run in the system.

This is the Surprise Table, as of revision eight, at least.

Roll

Top Hat's Home Delta Green Campaign: Session Twelve

After an annoyingly long hiatus, my friends and I were finally able to coordinate our schedules for another game night. We briefly covered the new errata while catching up on each other's lives and jumped right back in. They remembered a surprising amount of the situation and quickly put together a plan. Sadie would lie in wait beside the building, Ren would hide in the car, shotgun at the ready, while Hopps would actually confront Rupert. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hopps asked if Rupert would mind stepping outside, as she had some "sensitive information to discuss."

She started off by telling him that despite his claims, Gita had been seen around his diner. In fact, she had a witness who said they thought they saw Gita killed behind the building. Rupert feigned concern as Hopps continued to push, getting closer and closer to an accusation.

    "I know you know something about this. What happened to her?"

    "Why, my darling, the same thing that's going to happen to you..."
