Amazing entry! I really like how the grandmother plot unfolded. Is it going to be wrapped on the next post or is it a new adventure? In any case, can't wait for the finale.
One question about the mechanics (sorry about that, but it's always so interesting to me): why is roll #7 a random event?
Thank you! The next chapter is the last one for Lost Herald, and then I'll do a Post Script where I talk about some of the influences and what is and isn't working with the system, and updates for Kat's character. Then it will be on to the Next Mission! My plan is to play Delta Green with Kat until she dies or goes insane, or I wrap up enough of the plot points to justify a retirement. (That is the order of likelihood haha) and then try a few other systems to see if they click well enough to write another long form story.
For the roll, that's just a little house rule I use for playing DG with Mythic. Crit's in Delta Green are doubles on a d100, but a natural 01 is also a critical, so I play that I also give a Random Event when I roll a 01 on Mythic. This adds a slightly increased chance of a Random Event at all Chaos Factor levels, and also makes rolling an 01 even more special, on top of the Extreme Yes.
Another strong chapter. Plenty of intriguing plot lines coming to the fore. Looking forward to the conclusion to the operation.
Thanks! It was fun to watch this one go off the rails haha
I was on the edge of my seat!

That's a very cool rule! Let's see what happens to Kat then-death, insanity, or retirement haha. Thanks for answering!
Finale? We're just getting warmed up here!
