I had the second session of Delta Green tonight. Having created our characters in the first of three sessions, this time around, we started the actual scenario and it was fun. I'll write it up from the point of view of my character and put it up shortly. Good times.

I signed up for anther Meetup event and it went down tonight. This time it was a Delta Green RPG on the table. Delta Green is about the end. The end of everything. Your family, everyone you know, your country, all life on Earth. It may seem to be about other things from time to time. About manipulation. About power. About control. It has all these things, but that's not what it's about. It's not about winning and it's not about advancement and it's not about the best weapon or the most clever plan. Delta Green is about the end of everything - and how much of it you'll live to see. It's scheduled to be a 3-session introduction and tonight was all about the meet-and-greet, character creation, and session zero stuff. Myself and two other guys. I'm a newbie player to Delta Green, so this should be interesting. The next two sessions will be running through a mission. I made a character, met a couple of nice guys, and next Wednesday the fun begins.

August 20, 2023 I have not returned home. I am a traveler on a strange, far flung world. I am using all my skills to appear capable and competent, but I have little grasp of the situation I’ve found myself entangled in. Celestials, sparks, and returnals. The momentum of my companions and the play of events carries me ever forward. I can only harness that energy and use it to make a place for myself. After stopping the attack on the Black Monastery my traveling companions and I were invited in to take food with the monks and get some rest after our ordeal. Also, I think I mentioned a giant. Everyone has their own giant issues. I have a strong suspicion that the stew was generously flavored with bandit. Unsurprising given the remote location of this place, dark countenance of the place, and the lack of crops or livestock in the area, but still an unpleasant realization come upon too late. From here on out, bread shall make up the totality of my sustenance. The meal did not seem to have a...

08/06/2023 One moment you're hosting the biggest, best birthday gala yet, talking with the mayor, and thinking that all the sacrifices have quite possibly proven their worth. Suddenly, the night sky disappears, swallowed by the light of a single star, then oblivion. When next you gather your senses you are adrift in a sea of black, slowly falling toward an unrecognizable world, faster and faster, and finally you are deposited in a snow bank dressed in your celebratory finery and freezing your ass off. Things did not start well. Detritus from my home was scattered about, along with a few unfortunate guests whose fall had not reached nearly so auspicious an end as had mine. I retrieved my blade from the former mayor and turned to discover that solitude was not to be a worry. An elf unknown to me, save the briefest of greetings at the gala, climbed from a deep drift of snow and drew steel as I approached. Violent. I noted, more decidedly, that he was holding the purse of one Purcival ...

I've joined another Meetup group playing D&D. This one meets in the morning, hence the very on the nose name of the group, Early Sunday D&D. Playing at Schuler Books from 10am to 2pm, which gives me an hour between this game and the Random Encounter group playing at Out of the Box . After asking about any special character creation rules, level guidelines, and house rules that I might need to know, I was told to go wild and not be afraid to get creative. Level up to 6th level and everything else will be explained at the game. I suggested a dwarf barbarian or human warlock. And I made a dwarf barbarian that I was looking forward to playing. Of course the follow-up message said they already had a barbarian and the warlock would avoid overlap. Warlock it is. And so I have birthed from my fertile imagination and the D&D core rules, Thergale the Verdant, a human warlock with an Archfey patron and sworn to the Pact of the Blade. DM Aaron has only recently taken over this gro...

Technically, not #001, as it's pretty apparent that this group has been going on for a while now. But, it's new to me. What am I talking about? Well, I decided to get out of my shell and join the RPG community after a long hibernation from actively participating in the hobby. I looked up Dungeons & Dragons on the Meetup website a while back, sat on the results for weeks, and finally decided to take the plunge. Today, I joined a group at the local game store for an afternoon of adventure. The meetup event is called Random Encounter and purports to be a series of one-shots or short campaigns of various systems.  I joined the event on Meetup  and the DM Mike reached out to me Saturday morning. They're playing DnD 5e right now and asked if I was familiar with the game. I said I was experienced and open to playing just about anything, what did their group need. The answer, they need a magic user (obviously an old school DM here), so I've made a wizard. They're playin...
