Artifact Zero

Creating your character

**no experience necessary. I’ll guide you thru everything!** Characters can be built using either the 3 Array options or rolling. You can use a pregen profession or custom if you’re familiar with the system. I’ll make my resources available. No purchases necessary. The starter rules are free on Drivethru RPG.

Preparing for the session

1. Join the Discord! Say Hi, and I'll assign you to the proper channel! 2. We will use Owlbear Rodeo for our maps, images, and dice rolls 3. If this is your first time playing, I’ll help you figure out character creation!

What Greg V 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ brings to the table

Greetings! I provide crystal clear audio with broadcast quality audio equipment, high definition camera to enhance my storytelling, and the improv chops to help you immerse yourself in a living world. In my Delta Green games, I focus on creating space for player-driven storytelling. I’m especially interested in how your characters respond to the creeping dread of the unnatural and, just as importantly, how they respond to each other under pressure. I’ll encourage you to explore the bonds, tensions, and fractures that form within your team as the horror unfolds. You can expect: Collaborative Character Focus: I will actively help you explore your character’s psychology, motivations, and breaking points. The story will evolve based on your decisions and your reactions to each other. Atmospheric Play: I use ambient music and detailed scene descriptions to build tension and unease. Rules-Moderate Approach: I respect the rules of Delta Green but will bend them when it serves narrative pacing or creates a memorable moment. The Rule of Cool is welcome—if it’s cinematic and fits the tone, I’ll usually say yes. Player Safety: This is a game about psychological and cosmic horror. I use safety tools like Lines and Veils, the X-Card, and open table communication to ensure everyone feels comfortable navigating the darker themes. Tense, Tactical Scenes: When combat happens, it will be fast, brutal, and consequential. Every choice matters, and the threat of failure is real. If you’re interested in a game where personal connections, spiraling dread, and hard choices collide, I’d love to help you tell that story.

How Greg V 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ creates a safe table

We will begin with a discussion of my non-negotiables (also found in my DM Profile). Additionally, the discussion will include any important items that players want avoided in this brief campaign. The use of breaks will be used, not just as practical, "hey it's time for a quick break!" but also as way to reflect on where we've been, narratively, and to ensure players are comfortable. At the end of each game session, there will be a chance for another reflection on narrative themes and content. In general, I am always seeking player feedback to help make this the game you want to play.
