Sentiment Analysis On 2021 Shotgun Scenario Reviews

The 2021 Shotgun Scenario Contest was the first Delta Green contest I entered. Unfortunately, due to voter fraud no winner was declared that year. This sucks for everyone who submitted a scenario, but it also makes it harder for everyone else to find the best 2021 scenarios without having to read them all.

However, some nice people on the Night at the Opera Discord server have read a lot of the scenarios and shared their feedback in review documents. In total there are 461 reviews, which means that on average there are 8.87 reviews for each of the 52 submitted scenarios. If we can find a way to turn a review in a score we can compute the average score for each scenario and rank them accordingly. Doing this by hand for all 461 reviews would be quite cumbersome, so let's automate this.

Here is a Green Box that you can use for your Delta Green game. It's a bit unusual, because it's a digital Green Box, not a physical one. All the contents are of course digital as well, but might still prove useful and/or dangerous.

My Submissions To The 2022 Shotgun Scenario Contest

The 2022 Shotgun Scenario Contest has concluded. The winner scenario was Take The A Train by Bird, the second place and people's choice winner was Saturnalia by mellonbread. Two great scenarios that deserved to win, both were also among my votes.

There were a lot of other cool scenarios among the 53 entries. You can find all of them in the contest document or in the Fairfield 2 wiki.

I did not have time to playtest them, but I also wrote and submitted two entries to the contest, Applied Hypergeometry and Biodynamics. In this blog post I want to talk a bit about them and how I came up with them.
