Secret Agents on the Hunt for Eldritch Horrors! [Play by Post]

Delta Green | Campaign

About the adventure

Your world is a lie. A horror freed from an antique book reverberates through reality, shaking things, reordering them and making them run like wax. Doors open to endless Victorian hallways where threats stalk the shadows on clockwork limbs, cold metal seeking the warmth of blood and bone. Madness pursues at every turn, baring its teeth to speak your name, and you can’t escape because it’s inside you. And the toughest part? You are expected to stop it. You and your fellow agents of Delta Green - a secretive organization tasked with protecting the innocent masses from eldritch horrors from beyond time and space. To save lives, you will put your own on the line - as well as your relationships, your sanity, your very soul. But don’t despair. There is hope. A King waits for us. Beyond the tumbledown façade of the world, through the twists and tunnels of the human imagination, past the edge of everything sane, the King waits in the country of Carcosa. The place all madmen go. There, and only there, is the answer to everything. The last answer. =============== GM Timezone: CET/UTC+1 Expected Pace: 1 post/day, adjustment possible Medium: Discord, Asynchronous Play-by-Post with a voice Session 0 PLEASE BE AWARE, that this campaign has already started. It is on pause for the moment, but we're happy to resume it once we have another player. That could be you! We're still early enough in the story to make dropping in very easy.

Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

What I provide

The book and other material in read-only version. Vibrant style of text roleplay, supplemented by playlists to set the mood of the scene.

Gameplay details

Session 0 will go over the themes and content warnings of the campaign once more, in addition to voicing above-table, out-of-character expectations (no harassment or similar behaviours, no bigotry, etc.). A short survey detailing Lines and Veils (among other things) will be provided for the players to fill out - if they choose these can then be published in an anonymized form so everyone knows the boundaries. A policy of 'no child harm or sexual violence, in fiction' will be stated.
