S2:E5 – Impossible Landscapes - Dissection, Pt 4. Like a Map Made of Skin

Episode Notes

In this episode, we continue our dissection review and reanimation advice for the campaign Impossible Landscapes written by Dennis Detwiller for Delta Green by diving into the third chapter Like a Map Made of Skin, as well as an Exeunt that is... kind of essential for this chapter, so not really an exeunt?

We briefly summarize the chapter, discuss it's strengths and weaknesses as written, and then go through a rough order of events players are likely to experience, discussing potential issues and advice each step of the way. We've listed timestamps with as few spoilers as possible below in case GMs are interested in jumping to specific parts they may be looking for advice on:

• 1:28 - Waking Up
• 6:38 - Chapter overview & Beating Heart (key themes)
• 13:35 - Strengths & Limitations as Written
• 23:45 - Beginning Deep Dive, Navigating the World
• 33:33 - Guiding Agents' Goals & Direction
• 38:53 - Encountering Some Static
• 48:02 - Overall Section Thoughts (but really more Static)
• 56:21 - Encountering a Group Later
• 1:01:28 - Checking In
• 1:18:20 - A Quiet Maze
