I have had a Wraith game brewing in the back of my mind for decades set back when the Titanic wreck was discovered. Agents of Stygia sent to claim it for the Hierarchy.

I really don't like deckbuilding (main reason I'm so into KeyForge) so these are all based on shells created by @tabletoproyale.bsky.social. Tomorrow they will be tested against Space Jango lol.

Is it better to use all your cards to make one good deck or five "okay" decks? Probably one, but that's not what I'm doing!

A lot of people judge games (especially children's games) by unrealistic and irrelevant criteria in my experience.

Seeing people playing Tiny Laser Heist in the cafe was great. That thing is a bitch to assemble but looks to be good fun when it gets going.

Naturally Yasuke played a Romance card which became an interesting mash up of stoic "by any means necessary" crime family mentality vs Victorian practicality but also fear of what corruption can lead to by the journalist Ava.

In "All For a Good Story" it all started with a woman frantically running towards the Storm Knights down an alleyway yelling "Run!"
Andre and Mamsa were joined by a telepathic Yakuza soldier Yusuke from Pan-Pacifica and a ironically a girl born to a Yakuza crime familiar Yukiko (Core Earth though)

In "A Passing Dream" Karen from Finance was replaced by Andre, a psychic from the techno horror realm of Tharkold. Which changed the dynamic somewhat. Meeting their contact at an isolated crossroads in Orrorsh lead to some eventual gruesome discoveries...

That is on my do list as soon as I finish with Cyberpunk. And then I still have to watch Midnight Club.

I've been running missions from the Orrorsh Delphi Missions book for Torg Eternity all month as a "Torg or Treat" event for Torganized Play.

We've had some interesting combinations of Storm Knights:

In "Dark Harvest" the team added "getting some sweet coats like yours" as a reward for success.

This weeks Delphi Council Debriefings (which I always forget to bump when its new) is about the Pan-Pacifica Backer Archetypes? These are the perks created by fans who pledged enough to design their own archetype. Are they balanced? Let's find out!

So the need for a random building for the Storm Knights to take refuge in led to a new campaign location in Jaipur, two new notable NPCs, a new secret society and a recipient for a Romance card.

Of course you need to know how to wrangle it, after a while you start to see a lot of repeats.

One of the advantages of Chat-GPT and similar tools is being able to quickly generate things out of the blue. It's like having the worlds largest set of random-tables at your fingertips.

While I prefer PDFs during game time (searching is so much quicker) I just find it so much easier to actually *read* a new RPG when I have the physical copy in my hands.
