The post script always adds excellent insight into the story. Winter Strain was awesome and Kat is a great character. Reading about her navigating these wild missions is the best.

I think I’m more intrigued by the effect seeing/ participating in violence has had on her over the more than human changes.

Thank you! The human cost is for sure one of the most interesting parts of Delta Green as a system. I just couldn’t resist adding a bit of unnatural flare to the main character haha. I’ve grown quite attached to Kat, which given the setting, is probably not a good thing!

Great to see some of the process behind the operation. I think when you are writing/playing it there is a tendency to feel it is getting drawn out because you know where you would like it to go but from a readers point of view it doesn’t come across as too long at all.

Really looking forward to learning more about Kat.

I love that you've included your mental process. I've often had that thought of, oh if this was a book I'd have to go back and fix xyz. But this is a game and it's fun and there are no rules. Plus, I do love the chaos that the dice and the spark tables bring, "oh you think you're going to that thread? ha ha, Hard right turn!"

I did not think your operation was too long at all. From the reader's perspective it felt about as long as an X-Files episode. I have to laugh that what takes me two hours to play probably takes 10 minutes to read.

Looking forward to the next "Op".

Thank you! I really love the dice chaos too, and I feel like there was a lot of unexpected turns while playing which is always awesome to feel.

I’m glad it didn’t feel drawn out, when I was writing it took a few months haha.
