How about 61 pages of Delta Green The Role-Playing Game Corebook?

I think I can alter it to avoid this problem. Thanks for the heads up!

Aha, that makes a lot more sense to me. So while many more people may have some knowledge or experience with the unnatural, only 3000 people in the US have an understanding of the true history (and inevitable future) of the world. Something like "Less than 3000 sane individuals in the United States have any knowledge of the truth of the unnatural"? That's probably too wordy, but I misinterpreted the intent of the original sentence.

Thanks.

Survivors and most MJ 12 members etc had NO IDEA what they are dealing with (in fact, many believe it is not unnatural at all—but science). Most Delta Green members also have no idea. Perhaps you are misunderstanding the concept of "understanding". Many people have seen things. Do they know it is linked to the inevitable rise of the Great Old Ones? No. For thirty years the conspiracy was less than 78 some active members in Delta Green at any given time. Many, many (many many) died. This number represents the people who understand the unnatural is a degenerative force on the human mind and is linked to prehistory where THINGS populated the earth and that they are coming back. We've done the math.

You write Yian-ho is "in the mountains of western China (or of Xinjiang)" Xinjiang _is_ western China, unless you're a staunch supporter of East Turkestan secession, which then makes it odd to use the Chinese provincial name. If you were going to get specific, "in the mountains of Tibet, Qinghai or Xinjiang" might be better. Unless it's hidden in the mountains of Sichuan or Yunnan, which seem likely if Lester Dean wandered into some Yangtze River village. Maybe best not to be specific.

"Less than three-thousand people across the United States know anything about the unnatural" This can't be right. I know it's to emphasize the rarity of the unnatural, but numerically it clashes with canon. This is too much of a reaction to White Wolf excessive supernaturalism. 3000 people? 3000 people divided among a top secret federal program, an illegal government conspiracy, MJ-12 survivors, independent Mythos investigators, and witnesses or victims of the Mythos who survived? That's not even counting cultists, occultists or Jensen Wu. With these numbers and accounting for all canonical groups, the Program must be operating from a garage Men Who Stare At Goats style, while the Group is just Rust Cohle sitting alone in a Green Box. 3000 people who know anything at all! That's less than 0.00001% of the US population. The inevitable rise of the Great Old Ones notwithstanding, with that rate of exposure the Mythos corruption threat seems less of a concern than vending machines falling on people.
