Episode Notes In this episode, we conclude our dissection review and reanimation advice for Impossible Landscapes by hearing from some other GMs - found wandering the mists of Carcosa - so that they can share some additional perspectives and recommendations. Needless to say, each of these discussions will span the entirety of the campaign, so there are spoilers abound. In order, we interview: Tom Ogas from the Stories & Lies podcast, which is linked below (start @ 2:09) Zander, an excellent GM who has run several APs for our podcast (start @ 25:36) Joe, Brad, and Dace from the Green Box Gaming podcast, also linked below (start @ 1:30:03) You can find the Delta Green campaign at: Arc Dream's Store and DrivethruRPG Stories & Lies podcast website Green Box Gaming podcast website IL Campaign handouts and resources we can share on our lab's Google Drive .

Episode Notes In this episode, we continue our dissection review and reanimation advice for the campaign Impossible Landscapes written by Dennis Detwiller for Delta Green by diving into the fourth chapter End of the World of the End, which covers the finale of this epic campaign. We briefly summarize the chapter, discuss it's strengths and weaknesses as written, and then, since we aren't really fans of how this final chapter is laid out, we then cover an overview of the chapter followed by explanations of how each of us would run this final section based on our own styles and internal philosophies regarding Carcosa and the nature of the King in Yellow.

Episode Notes In this episode, we discuss our thoughts and experiences with designing and running Green Boxes in the Delta Green TTRPG. We discuss the core elements of what we believe constitute a Green Box, ideas to shake things up beyond the typical storage container, thoughts on ways to make them feel more alive and engaging, and share some of our favorite (and least favorite) items to include for our players!

Episode Notes This week, half of the Reanimators stitch our brains together to cover chases in tabletop RPGs! We compare rulesets from a variety of TTRPG systems, discuss what elements of chases we want to emphasize for players, along with some issues we've had in the past, and give our unsolicited advice for GMs who are looking for ways to make their group's next chase thrilling and tense™. Links: Here is the Seth Skorkowsky CoC Chase rules video we reference: https://youtu.be/jy1LL05E5gI?si=DjlUv56Nb_df0sVh As well as the very serious Heavy Rain failed chase video: https://youtu.be/Yy44s_de15Y?si=bTJhAYtRA0qFQkca Chat more with us on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/R8Q6aeyVk8 If this episode was helpful to you, and you'd like to support us and get early access to episodes and other content, consider following or subscribing to us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/RPGReanimators Consultations are free-form topic discussions based on our own GM experiences, preferences, and gaming philosophies. We hope some of this gibbering madness can be helpful to other GMs dealing with, or considering using, these issues at their table (or at least add new and exciting chattering voices inside listener's heads).

Episode Notes In this episode, we dissect and reanimate the Call of Cthulhu scenario Deliver Us from Evil written by Keeper Doc and Alex Guillotte. We've had the pleasure of playing and running in multiple versions of this scenario (soon to be published as APs on our YouTube channel) and work with KeeperDoc to give a variety of insights for great moments to highlight, as well as some potentially choppy waters for GMs to be aware of before running it.
