Hexelis 99 Report post Posted May 11 (edited) In the new DG Handler's Guide, When studying a ritual or reading a tome, how do you determine the study time? I only see it says 'days/weeks/months' etc. How many days/weeks/months? Edited May 11 by Hexelis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10baseT 89 Report post Posted May 12 I love DG... the best history out there is in their books. While a set time, like 5 weeks or 9 months, isn't given. I would base it on the Unnatural % gained and whatever condition you think the tome is in... and just fudge it. (So if Unnatural % gained is 8% and 'months' is the time frame. If the book is legible and good condition, say 4 months... fudge it.) I know that's not telling you much. Or, you can do what I do, i just use what CoC 7e states in the Keeper's rule book, page 237-239. These work perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hexelis 99 Report post Posted May 12 @10baseT so there is no official way to determine this just up to the Keeeper then? I can do that, was just wondering if maybe I missed it somewhere in the book? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hexelis 99 Report post Posted May 12 @rsanford yeah I've posted all around. I'm just gearing up to start running some DG, and was looking for a good place where they're discussing rules and what-not. Haven't been over here in ages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm only just getting going with Delta Green... though I've had the original books for years, I always used them as background, rather than having PCs as DG agents. I picked up the new ones a couple months back and I really want to try running a straight up DG game but I feel I'm a bit weak on modern intrigue and spycraft... so I've been immersing myself in whatever real world stuff seems pertinent.

In a situation where the Handler doesn't feel like they can make a fair adjudication based on the tome under consideration, I suggest the following: Days: roll 1d6 Weeks: roll 1d4 Months: roll 1d12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThornPlutonius 41 Report post Posted July 9 I would base my choice of time on the nature of the ritual or tome. What are the effects of the ritual? What sort of knowledge is in the tome? The greater the effects of the ritual or the more complex & dangerous the tome, the longer time to perform/read-comprehend. Also, the more time involved, the more room to play out the slow corruption that comes from exposure to them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
