By playing the game, we realised what we should have done ... so we thought we'd give it another go, doing all the things we realised we should have been doing in the first place. And sure enough, we survived the end of the first night! And the second! As we still had another couple of hours left, we decided to play on and see how far we could get. Third night went off without a hitch, but on the fourth night, one player's squad got killed just before we managed to take out the last zombies. But in the words of Meat Loaf, two out of three ain't bad.
This game was split over two sessions, as we ran out of time after the first night. However, as there were only a few quotes from each session, the two sessions are collected in this one post instead.
And yeah, at least half of these quotes were snagged from the adjacent Mutants & Masterminds table again, because they're actually roleplaying, and their quotability is higher than our boardgaming ...

Next session, we should all be back together, if it wasn't for the Blogkeeper's parents coming over for a visit, which means half the group will be missing ... including the Blogkeeper. Not to worry, a post has been pre-prepared for the occasion: what might or might not be the final part of the first Jurisfiction adventure. The week after that we should be back to Delta Green. Should.
