Is There Anybody in There? | Get in the Trunk S4 E6 | Delta Green Impossible Landscapes

[@vindictaRPGs]

Man... I thought I'd give this a shot while waiting for Time for Chaos S2. This is just as good. Unbelievable.

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thanks!

[@theyellowstripe1]

Same, but for ToC S3. Honestly, I think it's even better!

[@chelseabingiel4812]

I am awed by the amount of side work Joe has done to incorporate the PCs deeply into the story. I had to thumb through IL to see if the Vanity Fair article was in the book. Wow, just wow, applause to Joe with this preparation.

[@jamesaydelotte8666]

Joe kills every role on this ep!! Everyone is amazing- the art is off the chart-aahhhh! This is the goddamn level of commitment, talent and production that actual play CAN be- what makes the form viable next to big $$$ media.🤔👍🏼👍🏼

[@origintrackz5235]

At first i didnt like him as a GM(or whatever its called in Delta Green) but he grew on me the past 2 episodes or so!

[@jameswalker7382]

Unbelievable. I think this is exactly what Detwiler imagined this campaign being like. I cannot wait for next week’s. I’ve never felt this obsessed about an actual play.

[@JamesKiley]

This may honest to God be the best show they've ever done. Joe's work is incredible; Francis is great; these are the most enjoyable characters I've ever seen from Syd or Skid, and Troy is starting to make me actually like Roger. And I never liked Roger. Simply amazing, top to bottom. Keep it up gang.

[@GodsNumberOneSon]

I absolutely agree. It's amazing! This is truly special and I'm so grateful. You guys are killer!

[@perotekku]

First exposure to the GCN actual plays, and it's easily the top actual play of any game I've seen. The characters are great, unique, and the players are super committed and comfortable in their roles. And Joe is delivering a masterclass on DMing every session. I'm glued to my screen trying to learn as much as I can, I know I can elevate my own DMing from his example.

[@jimbowardoable]

@@perotekku Watch time for chaos, just as good

[@yourspookyaunt]

Troy sipping beer with a cig hanging out the corner of his lip is PEAK Roger behaviour.

[@GuerillaBunny]

I once saw a guy rollerskating, cig in his mouth, a beer can in one hand and talking to his phone with the other. I thought to myself "That guy's mastered time management." He was too skinny to be Roger, who also wouldn't rollerskate. So who was he?!

[@yourspookyaunt]

@@GuerillaBunny in the future, in our timeline, Roger had a son. That was Roger Cumstone Jr, I have no doubts. (Also, I think I could picture Roger roller*blading* for some odd reason. "It's faster than walking, but not as weird as jogging. I like it.")

[@GuerillaBunny]

@@yourspookyaunt This is how I'd imagine Roger's train of thought: "Roller...blading? What are they talking about, there's no blade! It's shoes with wheels! These young hipsters... Is that what they're called? They're fucking weird." The son part checks out, though. I could see him thinking that. But the question arises... Who's the mother? Who wants to have Cumstone's baby?

[@yourspookyaunt]

@@GuerillaBunny oooh, fair point. Fair point. I knew that the word "weird" was involved somehow. I have a feeling, knowing his penchant for "casual encounters" ( in true 90's action star fashion), probably some very hot broad he met on a mission. True to his perfectly 90's design, I feel like he had no idea he had a son until the mother had mYsTeRiOuSlY DiEd, and in a cryptic letter, alludes to the kid. Obviously, her death is Delta Green Related, but who was she? Another Delta Green agent? A cultist? Or maybe she's an African Grey Parrot breeder? (Are we writing the Roger Cumstone spinoff fiction right now?!)

[@GuerillaBunny]

@@yourspookyaunt I don't know what we're writing. Could be a spinoff, could be alternate timeline, backstory he doesn't know of, a future that might not come to pass... no idea :D Considering he had an "encounter" with miss "That's what I call music #57", he might've gone down in pedigree. Could be anybody, tbh. But I agree, he'll have learned about the son after the mother's death (which could very well be Delta Green related). I'd also figure he's a terrible father who'd bribe his kids (or just the one, for now, thank goodness) into silence with cigarettes and alcohol. He'd probably continue to numb his existential angst with random encounters, sometimes while his son is in the next room (he seems like a "dun give a fuck while I'm fuckin'" kind of guy, as per his music choice with miss TWICM#57). They'll probably eventually mutually agree that the father and son thing isn't working, so they're gonna be flatmates who can barely stand one another while the son looks for a new apartment, which Cumstone might or might not sponsor, at least a little bit.

[@amichaelson10]

Joe really knocked it out of the park with the characters and improv this episode

[@11OBlitzO11]

This particular combination for Delta Green is excellent. Got good synergy.

[@pr3tend3r-01]

Man Joe really knows how to tell a story, I loved his ending scene in Giantslayer and he's bring his A game as a GM.

[@yourspookyaunt]

BEEF.

[@11OBlitzO11]

Couldn't agree more!

[@buchor9455]

Absolutely loving the fuck out of this playthrough. FANTASTIC viewing, y'all!

[@bigeye6606]

Sidney is CRUSHING IT!

[@TheRapierTheBetter]

This is my favorite show on the network at the moment :) the character portraits were absolutely incredible! MAKESHIFT 28:08 MURNAU 43:41 MESSIAH 1:08:02 MAYBELLENE 1:15:39

[@jamesthelimey1738]

Thanks for this! 😀

[@thetoweroftomes]

Oh Yea! Get in the Trunk has become a favorite!

[@someyoutubecommenter5164]

I'm so glad to be alive in 2022 to watch this. It show reminds me of the best days of the Breaking Bad hype-the tone, balance, and writing are just so well balanced. I laugh when I watch the show and have nightmares about it when I sleep... what more can you ask of an unnatural horror ttrpg.

[@jamesthelimey1738]

Joe is just knocking this out of the park every week. The cast is excellent too, but he’s been outstanding.

[@Tecmaster96]

A giant fly attacked me for 10 minutes during the creepy painting part. It was this that told me that clearly the hotel is in Carcossa

[@ZebMeierWatz]

OMG! The reveal of that painting had me screaming at the screen 😱

[@Humongeloid]

My fucking favorite thing so far in this episode, "Jade!" That scene with Joe and Skid was fantastic.

[@bernard832]

Listening to a conversation I never had? Check my answering machine after I've had a couple. Being followed by a tiny clown? Let me tell you about things I saw in the Gulf. The milk is fresh? WHAT THE FUUUUCCCKKK

[@vectortubes]

IPA, espresso, key lime pie... Living the fucking dream.

[@Swoozie89]

Joe is killing it this season! This whole cast is.

[@onyxdragonlady9928]

I normally like to let some episodes pile up and then binge. I also need to actually finish the Giant Slayer pod. Instead I'm here watching this as soon as I had a minute to do so. I can't get enough of this. I couldn't be happier to have Sydney and Francis.

[@Johnny_Hipp]

This show has all the best elements of so many great fictional works like Twin Peaks, David Lynch films, mixed with X-Files, and even the comedic art world parodies in the style of Portlandia. The "King in Yellow" story definitely starts to get really weird when the character's pet and love interest start to drive him mad this doesn't bode well for Jimmy the bird 🦜 and Norma after too much more Cumstone sanity loss. The Agent Maybelline character reminds me a lot of the bounty hunter in Janet Evanovich's ensemble cast series of "Stephanie Plum" which is a fun classic too.

[@Vorpal_III]

Masterful work from Joe and the amazing players of this campaign. You guys are spoiling us with how good this show is. Taking notes as a future handler running this module.

[@LordCyler]

Joe is so amazing in this role. I love them all - They all bring something I could rave about. But today it's Joe.

[@shadram_nz]

Best episode yet - so many fun twists and turns! The cast are nailing it, and Joe is so good at keeping them on their toes.

[@deathpunchdingo2981]

Awesome production guys. Fantastic compliment to Troy's parallel mythos game.

[@TheCountryDoctor]

This has to be some of Joe's best work

[@matthewcaron3319]

This past February, we got off a cruise ship in Miami, flew to New Orleans, picked up a rental car, drove to my brother's house in Mississippi, spent the day there, picked up a new puppy from him, then drove back to NY over two days with twin 8 year old boys and a 4 month old black lab. It was one of the most fun trips I've ever taken

[@shakeysbarn9571]

Joe does such a good job with this show. Can't imagine how much work he puts into it, but it shows.

[@lionalofthedalelands184]

Cumstone looks like god damn Doomguy from OG Doom

[@tisbor2]

The rosemary's baby thing killed me 🖤🖤

[@jamesthelimey1738]

Sydney totally made that

[@mbalotin]

This is so cool, Im about to start DMing Impossible Landascapes and I wish I had such ana amazing prep!!

[@GryphonDes]

and there it is -- even if it ain't the really real thing - but the King in Yellow -- is just absurdly terrifying

[@walteringle2258]

@5:00 I'm 49 and when I was a kid, Dramamine was how my parents dealt with me on longer car trips. A tablet at that time was something people wrote commandants on.

[@mybuddyken436]

I am loving this series.

[@marcclement6597]

Love Sydney's interpretation of Janine in Ghostbuster, very solid. Learned she's an actress in this episode, it figures.

[@Pend3rlab]

There have been MANY great series on this channel. But I feel like everything else has been spring training for this campaign. I 'm sad that I have to wait 6 days for the next part. High marks to everyone involved, real compelling stuff going on here...and to think Joe is the one at the helm, who would've thought =)

[@jamesthelimey1738]

Joe has been amazing. He just gets better and better.

[@jmarquiso]

Joe is so good. This gallery owner is wunderbat

[@bernard832]

Don't read the play. Burn the evidence. Don't read the play. Tear down the building. Don't read the play. Stop looking for Abby.

[@DarthHugsALot]

Abigail Wright has gone to sea...

[@oskarkartoffel4764]

Don't read the play!

[@oskarkartoffel4764]

Shit, they read the play.

[@GryphonDes]

Saw that cliff coming and WHAMMO there it is -- awesome session!

[@yourspookyaunt]

Just the most raging of cliffies!!

[@unclestaple]

Roger Cumstone may be the flesh golem of the patriarchy.

[@irashu]

Joe again its impressive how you build the players bonds into everything and how some things you plant so early as a throwaway line comes back to bite the players in the ass. I am looking at you Vanity Fair article. The rest of the group is amazing when it comes to "Yes and..." its a joy to watch and I think for me its so far one of the best if not the best AP pod I have ever listened to/watched. And I have watched a lot mostly cause that was how I dealt with my GM-burnout. I have ran The Nightfloors for Delta Green when it was a part of CoC way back. But this is another type of monster and I love it.

[@TheOffkilter]

Rewatching this and its absolutely criminal how few people have seen this show, in particular this season, I feel like Im watching a episodic horror mystery on Netflix or something.

[@nonam3party]

This is getting better with every episode!

[@moritzlohmann8682]

Great Episode, great cast, but who was the commissioned artist of the character pictures, stunning work, is there a contact or social of them? How can we hire them?

[@matthewmolnar1285]

Wow... !! Thank you Joe, Troy , Skid, Syd and Francis ! Absolutely wonderfully Amazing Episode ! Excellent job, all around , Thank you. So intense, and Entertaining with a good bit of humor. Had time left before the standard 2 hour mark, which i don't know why 2 hours semi maximum for quite a few of rpg channels shows. And Syd, it was funny and interesting when Joe asked what you're eating then your explanation. And i like in what i've seen so far of GCN vids, Skid has Sydney's back, backs her up.

[@TheGlassCannon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@augrad0653]

Dang it now I wanna read the king in yellow...

[@wilknoble6072]

Glass Cannon has the best show openers... what a great group of people... they make it so fun to just hang out... god I f&%$ing love GC... when you watch/listen, it's that energizing, buzzing excitement you feel in a movie theater when you want to walk out during the end credits and buy another ticket for the flick you just saw - Because. It. Was. Just. That. Good. (Like Top Gun Maverick)

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thanks Wil!

[@iamded.]

12:08 holy shit that caught me off guard hahaha, I'm laughin' so hard I'm wheezing over here

[@callumstuart9094]

I had a mate growing up whose parents were kind of preppers and they would freeze everything. It wasn't uncommon to find fresh milk in a bottle months out of date in their fridge. Now I'm thinking about looking him up and asking if he's ever had to explain away a similar situation.

[@theyellowstripe1]

I'm still waiting for Skid to roll a 33 on an important percentile roll and lose his mind!

[@anthonycampbell422]

Joe makes me want to run thisssss

[@grendelzero8375]

I'm wondering if this is like the story "The Music of Erich Zann." I'm loving it so far and I can't wait to see where it goes.

[@GryphonDes]

Been waiting for this one ! So excited!

[@BostonDeadHead]

I'm blown away by how well done this campaign is.

[@maxnomicon]

I love this show.

[@deanospimoniful]

Love the portraits.

[@anmimc]

As an okie, it is rare to hear people talk about Oklahoma Vibes in a positive light! Lol

[@TheGlassCannon]

Hahaha! We like to break the mold around here, I guess.

[@nolanc9344]

Potential spoilers for the campaign: I absolutely love Vicky’s interaction with Louis. So clearly this is a man who is not present, and now, after listening back from s6, I am just now figuring out that while the agents were investigating in 95, Abigail was headed on her own journey having not yet reached Broadalbin, perhaps somewhere scattered throughout time. Of course, Louis has no idea how to get to the hotel, but somehow, knows Abigail has left to sea…

[@blackstone777]

Holy shit. Genius indeed.

[@jmarquiso]

Nightshade froze makeshift

Nobody expects the Dairy Police. Roll for milk.

[@jrlonergan6773]

I hate when these end. Any chance of a long 5 hour stream like from SQSS??

[@11OBlitzO11]

you gotta pool up like 4-5 eps so you can binge. However after today's episode ... I have to hear the next one on release.

[@moses0686]

[@totakkyr7627]

Are we going to see Roger do some investigating once he finds out Maybelline's name at 1:09:35‽

[@heartlesskitten88]

This is great 😂 I've played a DG campaign before and starting a new one soon, this is a wonderful filler.

[@EdwinSteiner]

starts ~ 22:45

[@ianthrower8744]

Joe seems so happy running this game. I mean, he always gets infectiously excited, but I bet this kind of storytelling is actually lowering his blood pressure. It's, uh...it's not doing that for me, lol.

[@jamesthelimey1738]

I think some of it must come from seeing their reactions to the ways he’s been messing with them (in a good way). You could see his satisfaction when Roger heard his own voice on the radio in the earlier episode. He’d probably been waiting to drop that on them.

[@Joeys-Channel]

So good

[@BostonDeadHead]

Love Tennessee. I used to go to the Bonaroo music festival back in the 00's when it first got started. But this year in march I spent 2 weeks a hour north of Nashville in the sticks on a farm. It was so amazing out there. The sky is nuts. Waking up to Roosters in the morning. There's caves and all sorts of cool stuff out there. I can't wait to go back and do some fly fishing next time. Joe your space is like a good guitar that's seen a lot of action. It gets endowed with all the great vibes from all the awesome shows that get played on it. You can almost feel it resonating off the guitar. I'm sure you're room is the same way with your art.

[@KingPhilipsRideshare]

Can someone come through and time stamp the character art?

[@RaymondRich]

One criticism I've long had with Delta Green and how it's presented is players always seem to latch onto their agent covers as superhero IDs or G.I. Joe codenames instead of something that could plausibly pass for a name, so instead of Agents Max, McIntyre, Morgan, and Murdock, you end up with Agents Mayhem, Meteor, Murderhobo, and Mystikal. Then, typically within the first session or two, everyone abandons that and breaks cover to use their real names.

[@Tibbyvc-rb7od]

But they don't need to plausibly pass for names... they're only to keep covers from other DG agents, who know they are fake...

[@RaymondRich]

@@Tibbyvc-rb7od Agree to disagree, I guess. If you're out at a Denny's planning an op, you don't want to be tossing around names at each other that draw undue attention like Odin, Oddjob, and Orangutan.

[@BostonDeadHead]

I hear you Joe. Love a good road trip. Try living out of your car for 2 months with only 2 days week rest in between stops. Hopping in your car after a concert gets out and driving 8 hours starting at midnight or 2:00 AM if you can't get out of the parking lot. Its a ton of fun. I'm on phish tour and I have been doing nothing but driving and seeing phish.since my birthday July 15th I have one more month to go only stop were not doing Is Toronto.

[@BostonDeadHead]

There's only one thing I hate. Only one thing that gives me the creeps. Its clowns.
