- Memories of the sea. Trapped in tanks. A family brutally murdered, seemingly by children. This is peak Delta Green. I gave it a 9.5/10. Check out the video to see why.

...These are the best videos ever. My lord
Glad you’re enjoying them.
This review costs 1d3 san lost on a fail.
I'll take that as a... compliment?
Great comment. As always this was an excellent review but this module is far too R-Rated. Gore kills the suspense, at least for me.
quick nit-pick before resuming watching: 'ex' is not a prefix, but a preposition. It means 'out of' or 'from', which connects to the ablative oblivione (nominative oblivio - state of forgetting or forgetfulness). I'd translate it as 'from being forgotten' or, less imaginatively, 'out of oblivion'. Maybe 'from amnesty' if you're feeling fancy? Technically, 'ex' could be seen as a prefix when connected to a verb, like ex + it (it = 3rd person singular of eo - 'I go') gives us exit = he/she departs.
Love your channel, by the way. Kinda regret this being my first comment.

@@BudsRPGreview I'm not sure how to read this, but I can offer help with future Latin/Greek, however unlikely those would be.
I am definitely running this operation for my agents!

Glass Cannon Network does a playthrough of this with some modifications. It's absolutely brutal. Season 3 Get in the trunk.
This is some dark stuff. Excellent review though, thanks!
The plot of this one, and the map of the city reminds me very much of Stephen King's Desperation, with Marsh taking the place of Tak. Seems like a cool scenario.
Not read it to be honest.
I'm a new sub and have been tearing through your catalog. Great stuff, dude!
Cheers dude. I have more vids on my Patreon if that is something you would be interested in.
There were a series of novels about one of the survivors of the raid on Innsmouth. The one I read took place in the 50's during the Red scare. The protagonist was held in a camp, but out in the desert after raid when she was child. She mentions being there when the Japanese Americans were detained there during WW2. The book I read took her back to Innsmouth....
This is also probably first module since 'The Stars are Right' that had some adult themes in the scenario.
Lovering your channel, your voice is nice and gentle and your reviews are nicely detailed.
Why thank you.
Evil at its purest form; great review !
a good review... i might need to get into delta green nxt year.... keep making the reviews...
DO you have or have you thought about using your audio as a podcast as well?
I'm not sure my actual videos would translate well as I point to things on the page etc.
In general I tend to much prefer Detwiller's fiction writing to his game design. To me, "Ex Oblivione" comes across as a stereotype of his scenario design : it's basically a deathtrap that the agents have little to no chance of avoiding/surviving. The Delta Green writers frequently stress the idea that guns are not a solution to the Mythos yet in this scenario the PCs only option of survival is to simply shoot their way out.
I disagree. I thought it was excellent.
I really agree with you, after running it but also listening to the Glass Cannon Network - Get in the Trunk version of it. The end is really a game design failure, where you just have your PC rolling dices shooting their way out and the outcome purely depends on the gun fight dices between the puppets and the PC.. disappointing.
