Getting my silly little notebooks ready for a silly little fair
I dreamed that I was writing an adventure for Delta Green. Or rather, running it, improvising as I went. There was a scene where a character (a child) is sneaking around an empty school, because there is a monster on the second floor of the school. The kid doesn't know it yet, but the monster is a bunch of people stuck together in a slimy heap. He only knows about the monster because of the sounds it makes - like someone slapping a wet mop on the floor.
The school is empty because there is a September 1st assembly going on outside the school. I have no idea if they do something like this in the US, but it was ambiguous whether the adventure was taking place somewhere in the former USSR or somewhere else. It could have been any other event that required all the students to be gathered outside.
There was a clue that the history teacher was telling the kids how before WWII Germany hired people in the USSR for sabotage and they had a secret sign to identify each other - a coin. And he showed this coin. It and the monster were somehow connected. And the child was trying to decide - either to use something from the chemistry class to try to defeat the monster, or not to approach it at all, find a coin and run.
At the same time, another character, also a child, was riding a train and trying to figure out how to send her mother a text message so that she would think it was from her father, who was now on an expedition at a polar station.
Unfortunately I don't know what the context was, but in the dream I really enjoyed watching the player figure out how to do it from a child's point of view.
I found one and probably only valid use of ChatGPT in TTRPGs: to translate contracts from the Breach of Contract book so I can actually print them out for my non-English speaking players
Is it ethical/cool/doing better job then an actual translator fluent in sci-fi legalese? HELL NO. Is it authentic? HELL YES! I can't see an evil corporation from the future translating it with any other method.
I'm in another room listening to my girlfriend GMing Delta Green
And I guess it's going well because her players just started making tinfoil hats 🤣
ah, so this is what happened I was scared by sudden 40 notifications from tumblr for a second thought that somehow porn bots returned :D
People seem to like my hare linoprint
So here is a little notebook I stamped with it and also a snail (also from marginalia)
Notebook covers are made of paper bags and some recycled cardboard
