About the adventure
The year is 2007, and your cover is a multiagency taskforce helping local authorities curb an uptick in drug trafficking and violent crimes in Wexford county, Michigan. Your real mission is OPERATION COLD ROAD: The audit of sightings of the Michigan Dogman as a Delta Green agent. Delta Green: the first, last, and only line of defense against the unexplainable and the alien. Part official agency, part unofficial organization, all black ops and plausible deniability. The audit of sightings of the Michigan Dogman, and the sanitation of any related contagion is only the beginning, for the threads you uncover will take you to the heart of a dying Detroit. Will you be able to contain the unnatural influences, or will Delta Green be forced to "sanitize" the whole city.

About me
Role Playing Games were my sanity's refuge when my undiagnosed neurodiversity turned my academic endeavors into a living hell. The stories we weaved, and the love of the friends we wove them with, kept everyone going, and with each other, we were no longer alone. As time would have it, and in spite of our academic or social struggles, we ended up being an exceptional group professionals in our chosen fields, and as we sought to make our childrens' journey easier, most of my friends discovered their own neurodiversity. I want the opportunity to help your characters live epic stories and perhaps, if we are lucky, to turn strangers into lifelong friends. I belong to the Jim Butcher and WX (Sanderson-Kowal-Tayler-Wells) schools of storytelling, Gygax's philosophy of multi-party sandbox campaigning, and have several "podiums" in national (Venezuela) and regional (Caracas) tournaments under my belt (Stopped counting after five). Me? I'm a mixed Norseman-Latino, neurodivergent, liberal, geek, TTRPG and biology nerd. My mum got the "love all, respect all" of her beloved sixties in my heart at an early age, so expect zero judgment, and the (sometimes overbearing) care and kindness I try to offer to the people in my life. As well as some of my anarchist dad's, stonefaced humor (he was a riot, but his humor was black-hole-grade). I'm as old as, and hold the motto of, the Hard Rock Café 🎸: 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞"Love All-Serve All, All Is One, Save The Planet, and Take Time To Be Kind." 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞ Ready to play campaigns: DnD 5e: Phandelver and below + Essentials (bundled up or separate) Curse of Strahd Helianna's Monster Hunts (can do from Witcher to MHI style) Isekai on the Yokai Realms Benders, Unite!

How Olaf creates a safe table
Send me a list of known triggers at least 24 hr before the game so I can tailor around them. X, N, & O's digital cards. Not all of the content warnings will appear in gameplay, and certainly not in every session, but I'd rather go wide so you can send me possible trigger warnings ☢️ WARNING!
