Took part of Impossible Landscapes (season 3) on Lost Caravan RPG and I hadn't posted apparently for multiple sessions. Here are 4-8. We are about two sessions away from the end of the season.

Translated the infamous Cassilda's song to Russian while preparing to run Impossible Landscapes. Everyone is welcome to use my translation if you like it.

О берег бьются облака, Два солнца прячутся в волнах, И тени все длинней в Каркозе.

Созвездий черных странный свет Мерцает странным лунам вслед, Но всех страннее мрак Каркозы.

Струится с неба песнь Гиад, Лохмотья Короля шуршат, Но тишина царит в Каркозе.

Мой голос нем, слова мертвы, Невыплаканных слез следы Засохнут навсегда в Каркозе.

Sorry, WHO did you say painted this?

impossible landscapes continues to haunt me what's the coincidence that Abbie is the name of the artist for this pretty rad piece of art and the nickname of a artist from impossible landscapes. I've seen the yellow sigh and I can't escape it. I'm going insane I'm going insane I'm going insane make a sanity roll I'm going insane I'm going insane I'm going insane I'm going insane

If hasur cultists existed in the modern day they'd say take the yellow pill instead of have you seen the yellow sign send tweet.

"My friend won't shut up about this play and I think his politics are getting weird, he keeps ranting about the 'imperial dynasty of america' or something." "Sounds like he's based and yellow-pilled"

what the fuck how am I the first person to ever try this

I’ve been waiting to talk about this season since we recorded it back in January, as I’ve categorized it in my head as the Stages of Grief Season, if those stages typically included a Dante-like trip through Carcosa and an invitation to the masquerade of the King in Yellow, hand in hand the whole way with the same friends you were actually mourning.

We started the podcast playing a trio of friends, and after two stories together, my character lost those two best friends in an adventure she wasn’t even a part of. In the very next chapter, she lost two other friends. Then suddenly, she has a chance to chase after closure, even if it’s in the worst place imaginable.

This is also the season we recorded when I was in my second go-round with Covid. It brought all the emotions right to the front, but I did also make the GM and other players swear that if I wasn’t actually playing up to snuff, they’d tell me and we’d reschedule.

But we made it through, mixing The Yellow King RPG with Delta Green’s Impossible Landscapes into a season of actual play I’m proud of. It’s weird to try to talk it up when more than any other season, it builds on what came before and wouldn’t stand alone as well as any of our other seasons. That said, it’s not every day you get to walk with dead friends into the heart of Carcosa, so there’s that much going for us.

Trailer is out today on Apple and Spotify.

Have you read/played Delta Green’s Impossible Landscapes, and, if you have, thoughts on it? It’s my favorite piece of weird fiction of the past few years.

Not only have I read it, I've run it to completion, and am working towards a second run starting next month! Doing a full re-read of the book ATM, just started A Volume of Secret Faces again.

It's one of if not my favorite campaigns for any game I've ever read. It's an immediate classic, up there and maybe even surpassing Masks of Nyarlathotep. I'm reading it for the third time and am still finding new connections and details that I never noticed the first two times.

It's not perfect, because nothing is, but it's damn near close.

Why is Mary Ann so angry and covered in blood all the time?

Oh Mary-Ann.

OK so this is a whole thing. First of all she is from a streamed game of Delta Green: Impossible Landscapes (starting from season 2) with TheLostCaravanRPG on Twitch.

Starting in season 2 this is Mary-Ann Johnson AKA Agent Maple:

An 83 year old chain smoking, card-carrying-lesbian, NSA intelligence analyst. She was sassy, computer savvy, and died as she lived: trying to do what was right.

Guess spoilers: She died at the top of season 3 and the King in Yellow recast Mary-Ann Johnson with.... THE REAL MARY-ANN JOHNSON!!! DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN! Also known as Agent Million.

Ends up in 1950, Maple was originally Deborah Brown, a young woman who stole the identity of a woman of similar age who had been brutally murdered by a serial killer. Yada yada yada. Million coming back from the dead in an alternative universe 2015 with the memories of an 83 year old "Mary-Ann" that lived her life, is kind of messed up. All she knows is that the man that killed her is in the Hotel Broadalbum and so is her bottle in the Whisper Labyrinth below the hotel. So yeah she is a bit murdery. Happens to the best of us.

What have you done? What have you done? What have you done?

A good friend of mine has been running the Impossible Landscapes Delta Green campaign for me and a couple others. We just reached what might be the biggest mindfuck of the entire campaign. I cannot stop thinking about it.

This season of "Get in the Trunk" is so incredible. Joe has done an enormous amount of prep for the players to facilitate the players starting to piece things together, and to remind them of the people and locations they have heard of. He is able to pull information at the drop of a hat, it's incredible.
