Repost – Actual Play – Magical Fury / Delta Green – Twilight Tales EP 2

Note: Reposting this episode due to the original being cut short due to technical difficulties.  Consider this the Snyder Cut.  If you have listened to the previous version please feel free to skip ahead to the 3hr and 27 minute mark to continue where the recording cut out.


This was a super fun game to play.  I think the best description of the session was from Crazon, who said it like Sailor Moon meets Doom.  Also in this follow-up scenario, we are using Delta Green rules to portray a shadowy organization covering up the existence of magical girls.

Following the tragedy at the Sakura Festival, Project Twilight is activated to keep the public ignorant. As four agents attempt to cover-up the events that happened at the theater, they discover that although one battle may have ended, another one is just beginning.

Episode 57 – Opportunities For Player Buy-In

While is important for a game master to have clear objectives when plotting out a campaign, it is also equally important to allow players the opportunity to fill in the gaps with content based on their decisions.  In what could be called an ‘organic’ episode (we started talking till a topic developed) Adam, Crazon, David and Rob discuss how to establish player buy-in.

Note:  Contrary to what the background noise might suggest, we did not record this episode in a Chuck E. Cheese.
