Parrying is for wimps!

  Delta Green-PX Poker Night (Spoilers!) Handlers notes I first became aware of Delta Green in 2020 at the start of lockdown (I promise I was working from home and I was not looking at RPG stuff during work hours :>), and very quickly became fascinated by the concept described in the game.   After getting the Handlers Guide last year I read the ‘history’ included in the book and absolutely loved it.   I then went all in on the Kickstarter that was launched last year and found a couple of podcasts about DG ( The Green Box  as well as The Redacted Reports - well worth a listen as the former is very informative and the latter really well done and entertaining).   So basically, I really like this game.   So, to prepare for running some DG I played in a few scenarios and I did run Last Things Last as a one shot last year.   I also look at DG as being compatible with a series of events and scenarios for PC development (assuming survival) due to the...

I ran through the scenario included in the rulebook ‘The Argent III Report’.  As a starter story it is great, short simple and lots of opportunity for the General Monitor (GM – get it?) to provide elements of horror and fright to the players.  I ran the scenario with players from the RPGNook discord: 4acrossisemu ...

Miskatonic Repository Guest Review for RPG Nook RPG Nook is a You Tube channel and discord server for those wanting to play Call of Cthulhu and other horror orientated RPGs.  Keepers on the server have been given the opportunity to play and then review some scenarios written for the Miskatonic Respoitory.  This is my Keeper review that appears on the RPG Nook You Tube channel of the scenario 'Cold Hunger' written by Paul Dimitrivech. https://tinyurl.com/ColdHunger (affiliate link) When is a scenario ready for publication and when is it not? There is, of course, no correct answer as one person’s bones of a story are another’s ghoul’s feast.   This brings me nicely onto the scenario ‘Cold Hunger’. This scenario was created via the RPG Writer Workshop process. The story starts in the offices of The Watcher magazine and a meeting with the magazine's editor. One of his journalists has gone missing looking into missing hobos in a city called Kamloops in British Columbia and...
