It’s been nine days back now and people are starting to notice. “Annie, what’s up? Are you okay?” Yes. Sure. I’m fine, I’d love to say, but instead say nothing and smile a thin-lipped smile. My mom called that smile my “fuck you” smile.
Mom, I’d like to say a lot of things. I’d love to tell someone my problems, but the group doesn’t want to hear it, no one else will believe it, and if I say anything...
Jet-lagged? No. Oh, no, I’m fine It was a long trip yea...

Well, good and bad news on IMPOSSIBLE LANDSCAPES. The good news is it's likely to be ~350+ pages long (128 was the projected size). The bad news is, I'm still working on it, and it's still growing, changing and twisting in new ways. Here are two sections for your early perusal...
SURREAL HORROR
Delta Green is about fear. Surreal horror fundamentally changes what that fear is. Lovecraftian monsters represent powers beyond human comprehension. The sur...

“Perhaps the only physical remnant of the hysteria which once gripped Europe and the Americas concerning witchcraft, the shape is considered one of the few items that has raised more questions on the phenomenon than it has answered. Though its provenance cannot be conclusively proven, few doubt the story that accompanies the Godwie Shape.”
-New York Auction Lot Description, 1969
Isabelle Godwie, wife of a farm laborer, confessed to witchcraft an...

Time doesn’t pass right, down here in the tunnels. It hums along, with days and weeks and months piling up in an invisible weight on top of you, baggage that you drag along in silence, that only the other ones can see properly. At some point, when you become old enough, it all falls away and doesn’t matter anymore.
I’m almost there. I can feel it.
There are passages down there that go places that the people can’t go; but I can. I’ve wal...

The 9895 Dump: A Brief History
Based simply on the incredible story they purport to tell, these documents were tainted with an air of forgery from the moment they were received at Phenomen-X in the summer of 2018. Still, their existence required careful research — ongoing — and the fact that they point towards one of the most famous sets of forged documents in the world (the MAJESTIC-12 documents) d...

B. called for the second time at just after 9, less frantic this time, to tell me they were ten minutes out. Same deal? I asked. Same deal, he confirmed. I told him I didn’t want to hear it when he got here. If he turned up with just the kid, I wasn’t going to do it. Not on credit. I’m not risking this job for a fucking favor, I don’t care what it’s for.
B. hung up and then called again at about 945 to say he was ten minutes out. More like forty minutes out. Why should I give ...

45 pages of a new Delta Green Antagonist by John Scott Tynes, for the upcoming book Delta Green: The Labyrinth. Read it here, first!
Against this backdrop of pain, sickness, degradation, and suffering, the Prana Sodality has finally found the answer. Their decades of study in energy medicine have led them to construct an enormous resonator and energy collector within a former ICBM silo that was used for electromagnetic research for many years by Columbia National Laboratory. ...
And then I’m home, and it’s like a place I’ve dreamt about, but never been to. In my mind, it’s like I know what’s around every corner. What people are going to say. But it’s not like that too, because things have changed. It’s been 21-years (and let’s not talk about the last 8, OK?) and the town has shrunk, collapsed, fallen away so that all the angles and shortcuts and pointless things are not only visible, they are jarring. Everywhere.

Here we have a new, 81-page operation for Delta Green by Adam Scott Glancy we need play tested!
Explore the horrors of ISIS occupied Mosul, and a horror much older, the Walidu alharb, the "father of war," an avatar of Nyarlathotep. Feedback can be left on this post, or sent to acell@me.com.

Located on a dig in an unmarked mound in Louisiana in 1967 by self-proclaimed archaeologist Teilhard Boucher, the Hunahpú mask — sometimes called the “god mask” — is considered by most in-the-know as a fake, albeit a very clever one. After 1973, it was entirely ignored, and vanished from official record. No one knows its current location.
When the mask was revealed in the summer of love, it was a sensation and considered the northernmost example of Mayan culture fo...

The horrors of the King in Yellow spread. They stretch and change and move. They make the ordered world into a dream-jumbled mess of terror. Usually, when that terror reaches the limit of the mind it occupies, it settles and pools, consuming that person and location in darkness. Sometimes, that location skirts the edges of Carcosa for some time before being eaten by it.
Here are two such examples of King in Yellow haunted locations in the upcoming campaign book Im...

Lynch,
It seems I should write to you once again, even after previous letters have found nothing but silence in return for their ink (though it must be noted the post delivery here is questionable at the best and the postmaster a well known drunkard who is fit to drive his carriage into the river as deliver his charge). Still, enclosed find my package containing the oddity I have located here...
Attention Delta Green Agents—here, just in time for Halloween, enjoy a free PDF copy of Music From a Darkened Room, my Delta-Green-styled-ode to the haunted house along with 961 pre-generated Agents (you'll need them). Gather your group for a Halloween treat and unleash the horrors of 1206 Spooner Avenue on them; and be sure to pop back and let me know how it went.
Summary:
Places, like people, sometimes go wrong. They turn off the path and head into ...
There are many mechanical aspects of violence and combat that the Delta Green Role-Playing Game — in a bid to keep combat streamlined and simple — has chosen not to emulate. Blast overpressure, concussions, internal injuries, bleeding out and more have previously been hand- waived. Not anymore. Here are some alternative rules to give the Handler more tools to make combat even more dangerous.

I was coming back from well, someplace I don't want no one to know about when it happened. We'd seen Tommy off in style, in a Chicago fashion. Too much to drink. Too long. Black suits and full blues and drunk people laughing and talking about times before he turned up in a welded, steel drum with no arms or legs. Too much information. Hey Charley, too much information, man.
I get it. I really do. I'm sorry. I been drinking.
Anyway, I alone t...

Shane Ivey, Rob Heinsoo, Kurt Komoda, and I have been working on a card game about wrestling Great Old Ones for some time now. Here is a fully playable demo kit ready to test! You're among the first to give it a whirl. Let us know what you think. Drop feedback in the comments here, or feel free to send me private message.
This includes the introduction, entities and artifacts section, as well as the revamped THE NIGHT FLOORS. I've been feverishly working on this for some time. Here's the first half of what I've "finished". It will be approximately the same size as THE AGENT'S HANDBOOK when it is done.
Right now, I'm writing the last operation for IMPOSSIBLE LANDSCAPES which concerns the Agents traveling to the Palace to meet the King in Yellow himself... Enjoy.
Anne calls from somewhere out past Inland Empire, and, of course, I have to go. Emily stares at me as I get the keys and put on my shoes.
"You don't have to," she says, but I can tell she doesn't mean it. Behind those eyes are other statements of fact and fiction. If I don't go, there's a whole other chain of events there. It's her damn sister, after all. Her twin. For some reason decided by those in charge, this is my responsibility.
Why?
Because Anne is a piece...

The house was as dark as the sky when I finally arrived, so I went around the back and sat down. The darkened house spoke the first rule of empty-nesters: old people go to bed early.
The neighbor, Mr. Kandusky poked his head at the window on the alley to the side and after a moment said:
"Oh, Graham. Hiya."
"Hey Mr. Kandusky."
"Home for a visit?"
"Yep."
He waved.

Delta Green slams teams together for all manner of operations. They do this suddenly, and in secret, and often the horrors this new team shares transcends any normal relationship found in the real world. It’s more like a bond found in combat, or in survivors of long-term traumas. Delta Green Agents know only other Delta Green Agents trulyunderstand what’s going on.
So, what happens when things go wrong for a Delta Green operative and they no longer have anyone to turn to? They grab ...

Fifth day in the stacks, and the MacBook Pro was glitching. Not that I was working, really. They'd forgotten me down here in D, it seemed, and that was cool, cool, cool. AC and silence, away from the rest of the museum while it churned through summer people. I mean, the other option was a pink slip; so saying I was good with this was a huge understatement.

The particular flavor of horror and conspiracy that Delta Green brings to the table is unique and often commented on. A mixture of hopelessness, fear, split-second decision making, and self- sacrifice, Delta Green has thrived for 21 years based on this formulae. Sometimes, fledgeling Handlers have a hard time wrapping their head around it, and struggle to find the right balance of elements. Here, I’ll examine some methods I use to maintain the feeling and bring the horror...
