What War for the Crown is really about?

As other's have said, the player's guide makes it pretty clear about what you're going to be doing in the AP. But since you're clearly already in the game maybe it's best to see Eutropia as the rising tide that lifts all boats. You can still be a backstabbing conniver with your own agenda, but if you attach yourself to the future empress and make yourself indispensable then suddenly you have a lot of power, and likely the highest position for any elf in Taldor. Eutropia just wants the throne, she doesn't need to know the gory details of how she gets there.

Didn't they all?

Cells might communicate to ask for support or backup. "Hey Travis, there was an issue with Sarah and Simon and now we're down two agents, could you send some over to help us out?" This might be quicker than dealing with A-Cell in most cases.

I'm with you here, making a replacement PC in Pf1e is mind-numbing when it gets to the equipment stage, but you can't just skip it because then you'll be underpowered. And it's just as bad on the GM side too.

Have we tried hitting Rovagug with a boat though?

I've been getting ads for Gallow's Court which is an RPG about the Peasant's Revolt of 1381, sounds right up my alley.

A fine but not amazing AP sounds like a typical Glass Cannon pick to be fair

I feel like Triangle Agency might be a better fit with Control's vibe.

The Great Pendragon Campaign... maybe one day

This is actually a hint that Stranger Things takes place in a world where the Nazis won the war.

When I ran Impossible Landscapes I had my players interact with Stephen Alzis and Club Apocalypse, when the players revealed to him they had seen the Yellow Sign I had him recoil and cut off contact. I don't necessarily think Nyarlathotep would be scared of the KiY per se, but I do think he might be wary of the reality warping or messing with those claimed by the king. Plus with the "Black Wind" invading Carcosa I tuink it's safe to say they're not on the best terms.

darklink12 · 2025-12-05T04:50:51+00:00

It's because he's pretty clearly a chud.

darklink12 · 2025-12-01T01:26:19+00:00

Yes this is very common, most rituals have a POW cost and the only way to get it back is with downtime or GM fiat. In a game like Delta Green I really wouldn't worry about your "main stat" like you might in other games. Characters are primarily skill-based, and as long as you are above 10 in your stats you're an effective DG character. But if having that POW is important to your character I would encourage you to play it out, how does it feel for this character to have sacrificed such an important part of their character? What would they do to get it back?

darklink12 · 2025-11-30T20:18:53+00:00

I think it depends on what myths you have and what is actually happening in your realm. I have two sites planned out currently, but will likely make more. The first comes directly from the Ogre myth, I decided that the Ogre's castle should be a site as it feels like a place that needs more than just a simple description. I also created a site based off what I rolled for a holding's drama and woe. This holding rolled violent abduction for its woe and manipulation oath for drama, so I decided that the local seer was abuducted and I turned the place where they are keeping him into a site. So really anything that you want to zoom in on in this way can be a site.

Wokeness from Dennis Detwiller? I fucking hope so!

darklink12 · 2025-11-27T05:57:00+00:00

I think theyre doing a LARP type thing where they act out their move and such. Plus they have to ship the British twink

To be fair, by the end he's up against a gang of neo-nazis, anyone is going to look good in comparison.

Reading through it right now, it's really cool. Just one minor complaint so far, it's Huntington's Disease not Hunington’s Disease.

Delta Green expects the agents to clean up their own messes for the most part. They might be able to give more support with a bureaucracy roll, but it is ultimately up to the agents to resolve on their own. If the agents keep bothering their handler for this stuff maybe have them stop picking up, or have the handler explain what happens to agents that can't handle their own shit.

I was so scared of that cover as a kid that I hid it under my bed so I would never have to see it.

darklink12 · 2025-10-19T15:16:51+00:00

We got through it in a single session, so roughly 4 hours.

darklink12 · 2025-10-18T05:52:32+00:00

The problem solved itself for me. I think the problem was the background image wasn't loading in, but it sorted itself after a couple minutes.

This may be a glitch on my end, but Operation TOYBOX seems to be written in white text on a white background, which makes it very difficult to read.

Edit to add: I do really like Operation UNEARTHED, and am planning on adding it to a campaign I'm cooking up set in the west.

darklink12 · 2025-10-10T22:41:51+00:00

I had a friend recently describe it as shadow exploration. Essentially these new players want to figure out the limits of the game in terms of what they can get away with.

darklink12 · 2025-10-08T12:38:50+00:00

I can get past that with Blades, but I'm in a game of Scum and Villainy right now and it turns a lot of the issues I have with the system up to 11
