Delta Green | Session Zero: Character Creation
Summary
Arthur records a solo episode of Black Lodge Trivia Night after his co-hosts are unavailable. He dives into the Delta Green RPG system, using Foundry VTT to create a character from scratch. The agent is a 27-year-old media specialist and failed FBI applicant who became a conspiracy theorist after being rejected from the academy. Arthur details the character's stats, skills, and emotional bonds, including a supportive father and an ex-girlfriend who pities his obsession. The episode concludes with Arthur expressing hope that the group will eventually run a Delta Green campaign together.
