Episode Notes

In this episode, we discuss our thoughts and experiences with designing and running Green Boxes in the Delta Green TTRPG. We discuss the core elements of what we believe constitute a Green Box, ideas to shake things up beyond the typical storage container, thoughts on ways to make them feel more alive and engaging, and share some of our favorite (and least favorite) items to include for our players!
