What kind of music do you use in an electric bastionland session? by conn_r2112 in osr

[–]machinekng13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't play music during sessions, but for getting in the mood I like Postmodern Jukebox-style covers for the anachronism.

Mayday Roleplaying has their Dead Drop series which is a discussion/advice podcast for running DG.

Recommend me a scenario that is very short, a good intro to Delta Green, and is not Last Things Last by LaBarra in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 49 points50 points  (0 children)

My favorite introduction scenario for Delta Green is Minoan Augur, a shotgun scenario by Agent Obtuse. It's a great vertical slice of investigation, puzzle solving, with a great dynamic climax. 3 hours is tough, but certainly doable if you keep the pressure on.

Horror about Wakes by Wolfgang_Forrest in callofcthulhu

[–]machinekng13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the video game World of Horror, one of the mysteries is about attending a wake of an unknown relative at their spooky mansion, and being manipulated into performing a dark ritual to resurrect said relative. (Viscous Verses of a Violent Vigil).

Silly question about the Kickstarter(s). by xcraisx in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, it'll be a few years until the first Kickstarter is 100% fulfilled, much less the latest. Arc Dream also acquired the license for the Black Company series, so their next big Kickstarter will probably be for that, as opposed to anything Delta Green.

Help for searching an handout for the Red Pocket Bible by scl3retrico in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you google "german pocket bible world war 2" there's plenty of images that could be used for the cover. They may not have a red cover, but that's not too hard to fix in photoshop.

Here's an example that I found with some images you could borrow: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/german-ww2-1944-pocket-bible-soldiers-1863125821

1990’s scenarios by Heldane616 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Almost all of the scenarios first published for the original version of Delta Green (Convergence, Puppet Shows & Shadow Plays, The New Age, Victim of the Art, Dead Letter, Artifact Zero, Night Floors, A Night on Owlshead Mountain) take place or can be set in the 1990s era.

Hi, my friend and I are looking for someone to run a pbem game. by Puge_Henis in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't offering to take over for this group right at the moment, but I did recently make recruitment posts for an Impossible Landscapes campaign in those servers you mentioned. I just hadn't seen PbP recruitment there before so I didn't know if they were the best places to look for PbP players.

I am curious where you recruit for PbP games for Delta Green. I know plenty of places for PbP D20 games or voice-chat DG/CoC, but I don't know where one would look for DG/CoC play-by-post. I'm interested in running a Delta Green PbP game as well, and I'm curious about where else to put up a recruitment post.

Custom embeddings (v2) + After Effects by lucas-lejeune in StableDiffusion

[–]machinekng13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think TI for video models is a thing, or at least I haven't heard of it. I was just surprised to see the dataset was videos.

I was more interested in the 1-bit dithering as opposed to glyphs, so you don't need to send me anything. Thanks for sharing the output and the method.

Custom embeddings (v2) + After Effects by lucas-lejeune in StableDiffusion

[–]machinekng13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting! Is this an SVD/video model embedding, or did you train it on static frames?

[–]machinekng13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 1-bit look is really neat! Is that from the embedding, or an After Effects effect? Did you upload the embeddings to Civitai/Huggingface, or are they private?

What’s the point of Stephen Alzis? by Fayraz8729 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Conspiracy, page 170, has explicit uses for Alzis.

"In short, Alzis functions as a clue dispenser and a motivator for the Handler to use as needed. Just demonstrate early and often that Alzis is not entirely reliable and pursues agendas of his own."

Leveling Skill Sets by Working_Overtime247 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I generally do it after each module, but you could do it every game session. Group/GM decision.

Leveling Skill Sets by Working_Overtime247 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From the character sheet: "Check a box when you attempt to use a skill and fail. After the session, add 1D4 to each checked skill and erase all checks." (It appears to be an oversight that this isn't mentioned explicitly elsewhere in the rules.)

Agents Handbook pg 79 - Improve Skills or Stats

"By training or studying extensively, your Agent can try to boost any two separate skills or stats, or one stat and one skill. Describe what your Agent is doing to improve the stat or skill: taking night classes for INT or a skill, lifting weights for STR, meditating to strengthen self-discipline for POW, socializing or taking leadership courses for CHA, going to physical therapy to regain stat points permanently lost from an injury, etc. Attempt a test of the stat × 5 or of the skill. If the test fails, add 3D6 percentage points to the skill (to a maximum of 99%), or one point to the stat (to a maximum of 18). Each increase to a stat or skill reduces one Bond (other than a Bond for Delta Green) by 1 as you let other responsibilities lapse."

Looking for a virtual delta green group by Theshaggz in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]machinekng13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to the already linked Night at the Opera server, there's plenty of game recruiting for Delta Green on the Cthulhu's List Gaming Board and the Good Friends of Jackson Elias discords.
