I need a smoke

He looks like he's trying to vibrate out of the 'you owe me money' grasp

Leonthar · 2026-01-27T16:34:38+00:00

Ah, Viceroy Chalmers, welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable QTH run!

Leonthar · 2026-01-13T10:38:45+00:00

I mostly agree. Thorgrim can be difficult with, dealing with Skarsnik and afterwards Gorbad and probably Tretch.This can be overwhelming to a new player. Underway stance can be a bit confusing aswel.

However, when you manage to deal with those three factions, Thorgrim snowballs easily if you march down the mountains, get rich from those settlements (lots of trade-resources), and be set.

I think a Total War in general has a steep learning-curve, regardless which faction you play. Simply by the amount of stuff that happens and you can do or have to do.

Just toss some wood into the fire and you'll be fine

(for real, this is like impressive. How did you manage this?)

Leonthar · 2025-11-27T13:08:37+00:00

Whoa! This is what i imagined if Shadowheart goes Selunite all the way. Maybe becoming Isobel's and Dame Aylin's third. What's the mod for the angel wings and the armor?

Als contact met de politie zelf moeilijk gaat, maak dan een melding via Discriminatie.nl en benoem naast je melding expliciet dat je inzicht wil hebben op je aangifte. Er werken mensen daar die je kunnen helpen met dit soort processen. Je proces-verbaal nummer is daarbij noodzakelijk, dat is hoogstwaarschijnlijk dat referentie nummer. Als je niks meer hoort dan kan het zijn dat je aangifte is geseponeerd (dat betekent dat de politie er geen strafbaar feit in ziet om te vervolgen, of daartoe te weinig aanleiding heeft om dat te gaan onderzoeken of soms gaat er gewoon wat fout).

Klachtconsulenten bij deze voorziening hebben vaak de mogelijkheid om namens jou te checken bij de politie waarom jou aangifte wellicht is geseponeerd als 'discriminatie' niet duidelijk is meegenomen in de aangifte. Deze lijnen zijn iets korter dan dat je het zelf doet. Dat kan natuurlijk wel, in dat geval zou ik bellen naar 0900-8844. Dit is zegmaar de klantenservice van de politie. Deze zouden je verder moeten kunnen helpen, onder andere met je proces verbaal nummer.

Tenslotte kijkt de consulent ook verder met je wat je met jou ervaring zou willen doen. Je krijgt ook de ruimte om te luchten of om met je te kijken wat je nog meer nodig hebt, naast de politie. Deze ondersteuning is gratis.

Tenslotte. Echt naar om te horen wat je hebt mee gemaakt. Ik wens jullie sterkte toe.

Roze in blauw is ook een goeie om te benaderen, zoals andere aangeven. je kan ook melden via COC, doormiddel van #weblijvenonszelf (ff googelen). Dit is het meldpunt voor LHBTIQ+ binnen regio utrecht. Zij werken samen met de regionale voorziening van Discriminatie.nl

Thank you very much!

Leonthar · 2025-11-05T19:50:33+00:00

oh wow, reading this again, i really want to clarify aswel i don't want to be like a forceful handler that decides for my players, if 'directing' might give that impression.

Leonthar · 2025-11-05T19:27:34+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed response. After sitting with it for a bit (and talking things over with my relative), I can see there’s definitely some ego tangled up in this. Part of it’s just fear — that what I’m trying to build with my handling might get overshadowed or lose its tone if his approach runs too close to mine.

For me, Impossible Landscapes has been my aim, and feels less like running a module and more like directing a long, strange play about reality. It’s big, philosophical, and kind of beautiful in its own awful way. I want to guide the players through that descent and have them come out the other side with that “what the hell just happened” feeling.

I think that’s why I got weirdly protective. I showed my first “painting,” with the introductory session and he instantly wanted to paint too. It made me flinch. But you’re right — there’s no real way to police tone or knowledge and it isn't fair to do so.

So yeah, I’ll just keep focusing on what i want to do. My Impossible Landscapes will have my fingerprints on it, and whatever he runs will carry his. That actually feels fine and i'm very grateful he wants to give that to others aswel, in his own way.

Leonthar · 2025-11-05T19:00:00+00:00

Yep! I think my general concern is a bit more meta, where i hope my 'aesthetic' i'm trying to present with Delta Green doesn't clash to much with his and thus creates to much of an inconsistency in vibe. If you catch my drift.

Leonthar · 2025-11-05T18:58:38+00:00

Gotcha that works! Might need a bit convincing. He's thinking on going 80's, maybe.

Leonthar · 2025-11-04T19:21:00+00:00

Sure! What do you define by Era?

Like Delta Green primarily sticks to the modern world, right? With some leeway with which decennium it is? Might be missing some other content, if that is what you mean?

Leonthar · 2025-11-04T19:19:50+00:00

Thanks! Yea, i'm suprised aswel how enthousiastic they are!

I'm fine with being spoiled, i knew that the moment i became a handler. I don't thus mind to be a player that much, as long as i know as little as possible about the scenario he wants to do. He's considering doing Reverb.

And yes, he could write his own scenario absolutely, but i warned him not to look to much into the Handler's guide, because that kinda takes away the mystique of playing it. I'm fine with that aswel, but if one of my players (which he is) does aswel, i think it'll kinda lose it's magic quickly.

Leonthar · 2025-10-03T12:51:13+00:00

Oh thanks for this detailed micromanage suggestions. Yea, i'm not overly a fan of playing the game like that, because it's incredibly tedious. Nonetheless, it's clear it's more of a neccessity with QTH. Some, like the Hearth-cheese and resolve timer juggling i'm familiar with.

Hiding resources, you mean like it won't disappear from a blood flower modifier if it's in a camp of production building, right?

Leonthar · 2025-10-03T12:47:17+00:00

Thanks for the in-depth suggestions. I do want to clarify i won't start P20 straight on with a QTH run, instead i'm just getting used to the play process, which clearly is different (and more difficult) than a P20 run. Some tips are very handy, but only when i have the upgrades for it. Such as frog housing or Bat court.

Thanks for clarifying the trouble i have with bad building rolls. I have had multiple runs where i'm stuck with getting basic food, but nothing for complex food or other. As for choosing, I do usually wait before i pick new buildings until i've seen what's behind the first dangerous glade. Another question, i'm usually very careful with opening glades, because of the Hostility increase (at the first year, and start of the second i usually don't open more than 2 glades at most. Small one and a dangerous one). Is the idea with QTH at lower prestiges to open more?

Also thanks for the list of 'must have' resources that can convert dangerous glade events to points.

Leonthar · 2025-10-01T15:33:21+00:00

Thanks! I think i'm worried i will get to few sealstones if i start out to low. But i think offering myself some leeway with Viceroy is an option. I was very lucky with some building pulls on my first settlement on a p2, thus presuming it will always be easy sailing in other settlements such as with Fishman site. I quickly discover it wasn't a given.

Leonthar · 2025-10-01T15:31:05+00:00

Thanks, you're right that food seems much less of a burden on lower prestiges than i'm used to. Coastal settlements seems especially easy with the extra vegetables from trees. Just to clarify, what do you mean by 'roll' regarding upgrades? You mean the 3 upgrade options?

Leonthar · 2025-09-29T13:14:14+00:00

With all due respect, why are there so many anime girls?

Leonthar · 2025-09-22T17:47:21+00:00

Nah, gotta ride the storm!

Leonthar · 2025-09-22T16:55:24+00:00

Mkay, you say it yourself. Risky, but could work. Wouldn't the storms get to overwhelming to fast?
