Black Flare is a Delta Green actual play podcast. Our Episode Zero is a good explainer for what that exactly means. It is set within the Delta Green universe in the year 2006. The first mission takes place at Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. This first mission is based on an original Scenario, created by Bird Bailey, with additions by Arin and Caleb.

Our character players are completely new to the Delta Green system and all its secrets. Arin and Caleb pull the strings and are well versed in the Delta Green lore.

Mood: Suspense, Horror, and Comedy.

Real Human Being Bios

Caleb Genheimer he/him

I grew up homeschooled, and at university, got my BFA in Film and Art. I currently work as a custom picture framer, and also freelance as a 1st AC in our local film industry. I’ve always loved stories, whether that be books, theater, movies, or playing make-believe in the back yard with my siblings. Black Flare is my way of doing collaborative storytelling on a budget. It’s truly a group effort. This podcast exists only as a sum of its parts: the awesome other people here that I am lucky enough to create alongside.

Kimmy Genheimer she/her

Hi! My name is Kimmy. In my free time i enjoy thrifting, crafting and other fun activities with friends and family. 

I graduated with a bachelors degree of arts in theatre. I am fairly new to TTRPG. The only other group game I’ve done is DND, but I’ve really enjoyed the real life aspect of Delta Green. I feel like my theatre background helps with thinking on the spot, having improvisation skills… I would hope it helps move the story forward. 

I got roped into this by the producer, Caleb, who also happens to be my husband (not sure if that was ever mentioned haha)

It’s been a delight to see how the story develops and unfolds with my friends!

Arlo Siemsen he/him

Tiger Theobald they/them

I'm Tiger! I've been playing TTRPGs since late 2019. Making and playing characters is probably my favorite thing. I have about a million other hobbies too, but I'm, like, especially interested in characters.

I have a website: Tiger Theobald Land

It probably won't elucidate much about who I am or what I do, sorry!

Isaac Theobald he/him

I'm a glass art studio technician and instructor, and an "artist." I've been regularly GMing and playing (mostly GMing) TTRPGs since 2019. Like all the other players, I have little to no exposure to Delta Green or the surrounding genera other than through the show.

If you're interested in seeing glass related stuff, you can easily find me on Instagram or Facebook, where I will almost certainly take weeks to respond to any interaction. I also maintain an Etsy store.

Arin Colalillo he/him

Coming Soon

Andy Gryc he/him

Veteran music maker and devoted game master, who’s been recently having a blast combining the two. Lackadaisical vegan but committed vegetarian. Hard to get going on something, and hard to stop doing it once I’ve started. Relentlessly positive and inspired by everything. Proud cat dad with a love for all animals (mosquitos excepted). Started programming young since a kid’s budget couldn’t afford video games. Have both failed and succeeded at love. Just your average human, thrilled to have been invited to the Black Flare party.
