Stories and Lies is a podcast that features recordings of our actual sessions of Delta Green, the Roleplaying Game, set in the 1990s using The Conspiracy sourcebook. We will be featuring both Delta Green and Call of Cthulhu scenarios chosen for story-specific reasons, as well as some homebrew.
We take our presentation seriously. We record an additional narrative in the opening segments of our podcasts that adds another layer to the story. We edit the recordings to remove distractions and audio issues. Sound Effects and music are added to enhance the presentation. Our theme song is an amazing piece of music that has inspired both the name of our podcast and sets the tone perfectly. It is by the band "Fifty Dollar Dynasty" and is being used with their permission.
We are a group of experienced “Game Masters” with decades of experience in different roleplaying systems, who have come together to participate in a game that features strong characters in compelling mysteries. We have created extensive backstories, including short stories, to flesh out our protagonists and the world that they are exploring.
Our stories will be very character driven, and will lean heavily into mystery and investigation, with moments of horror and dread. And difficult decisions. We like to take our time. Ideally, we will watch these characters grow and change over the course of several stories, but none of these characters have “plot armor” and as much as we love creating them and portraying them, we have a cold and rational understanding that their stories will one day suddenly end. They will all end. Over the course of several stories, we will all find out, together, how their lives unwind.
Ideally, we want to give you a new one-hour episode each week and will do our best to keep to that schedule, as long as “real life” doesn’t get in the way.
We have some amazing ideas already for future stories to share with you, but we won’t rush into any of that. We want each individual story to be outstanding, and like a fine wine we will savor the depths and mysteries of our own imaginations, creating what we hope are stories that you can savor with us.
