A discussion-based podcast for GMs where we break down horror ttrpg scenarios for systems like Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green, discuss what worked for us, what didn't, what changes we made while running them, and how it all turned out for the table. Additional special topics include general game philosophies, advice, and occasional actual plays.
Episode Notes
In this episode, we dissect and reanimate the Delta Green scenario BLACKSAT, written by Greg Stolze and Shane Ivey, which is part of the Control Group collection. This scenario stands out among other DG operations as a unique one-shot where the PCs are astronauts not familiar with "The Conspiracy™️", however, you can expect some... turbulence at launch without a bit of TLC. Since one of the Reanimators has more than a little experience actually training astronauts, we brainstorm new ideas and advice to help make your next run of the scenario a mission success. Are there any more puns that I can make?
PS - this episode has my favorite post-credits blooper, so be sure to stick around past the ending music for that 🍑🪄

S2:E10 – Tell Me, Have You Seen the Yellow Sign? - Dissection
Episode Notes
In this episode, we dissect and reanimate the scenario Tell Me, Have You Seen the Yellow Sign? originally written for Call of Cthulhu by Kevin A. Ross with special guest Zander, who ran this scenario for us using the Trail of Cthulhu system. We discuss the reanimations they made to innovate the scenario in their run, as well as other opportunities for GM advice.
Note: The patreon thanks shout-out is outdated compared to when we first recorded this discussion, but I kept it in for the chuckles as I floundered to make a joke.
