S2:E6 – Impossible Landscapes - Dissection, Pt 5. End of the World of the End

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 fourth chapter End of the World of the End, which covers the finale of this epic campaign.

We briefly summarize the chapter, discuss it's strengths and weaknesses as written, and then, since we aren't really fans of how this final chapter is laid out, we then cover an overview of the chapter followed by explanations of how each of us would run this final section based on our own styles and internal philosophies regarding Carcosa and the nature of the King in Yellow.
