“That cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy.”
 —H.P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu”

IN PROGRESS: THE KING IN YELLOW TAROT

In Delta Green: COUNTDOWN, we outlined the King In Yellow Tarot; a deck (perhaps) created by the mysterious seer Madame Sosostris in the early years of the 20th century.

Now, we work to unearth the work. We have sent skilled artist Kurt Komoda into the outer darkness to find the pieces that once composed the Sosostris-tarot. He has returned bearing sketches.

These amazing first-pass sketches (there are ...

FUTURE/PERFECT PART 1, ACTUAL PLAY—SESSION 1

"Future/Perfect, Part 1" is a scenario for Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game. It's ideal for introducing new characters and new players to Delta Green.

Decades ago, an explosion leveled the Hunt Electrodynamics Plant and put most of Hellbend, California, out of work. Now the town is nearly dead. Only eighty-two people call the crumblin...

THE THREE LIES OF DELTA GREEN

Delta Green is about lies. These lies haunt Agents throughout their career, and some Agents never move past the first lie. Others move back and forth between the lies as they attempt to "reset" their world view. Still others discard them all and live a life completely surrendered to cosmic nihilism, before they too fall under the sway of the forces Delta Green struggles to fight.

The following are the lies all Delta Green Agents face:

  • Mankind is important
  • Man...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER

The attacks began on 4/22/16 at Prince and Greene St at 10:45 PM. The first victim was a teenager, Javier M. Calhoun m. 13 YOA. The boy was walking back from Genovese drugstore and "something fell on him" from an overhang. Witnesses saw the boy run into traffic with something dark on his back. He was struck by an Uber vehicle, taken to Mt. Sinai via ambulance, where he briefly regained consciousness. He claimed to have been attacked by an animal approximately the size of a raccoon, with "hum...

Delta Green: Black Books

Is there such a thing as a ASCII version of the NECRONOMICON, translated into plain English, that can melt your brain? Can you simply copy Unaussprechlichen Kulten into a Word file and spam a message board with it and cost everyone who reads it a bunch of SAN points?

The issue of what constitutes a unnatural tome, and what that even means, have come up in my Delta Green games. A lot. 

What constitutes a “unnatural tome" is an interesting question in and of itself...

Next for Delta Green

As we wrap up Delta Green: The Role-playing game corebook, and Impossible Landscapes, the question of what comes next looms for me. I won't bother with any of the non-Delta Green options here (though there are a few on the table).

3rd Option for the Cover

And, out of left field, a 3rd option for the Delta Green RPG Cover (you’re welcome, Scott Glancy)

Hey guys! We're mad at work on Delta Green: The RPG. It now sits at 222k words, and is about 523-pages in raw text format. ENORMOUS. Here's  sneak peek at the first half of the Unnatural section (53 pages of part 3), which contains a ton of stats for Lovecraftian beasties.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF HENRIETTA Z.

Assistant Medical Examiner for the City of New York, Dr. Henrietta Zimmerman is having a bad month. On 12 OCT 2017, she was called to the Tomassino Funeral Parlor near her home to perform an autopsy on a John Doe recovered at Mt. Neboh Cemetery in Brooklyn. She was technically on call, and the medical examiner was uninterested on coming out from Manhattan. It was hoped she would show up, find an obvious and uninteresting cause of death, and put it on the back burner. But that didn’t happen...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: THE STRANGE PEOPLE

I can see them, and I think I know why no one else can.

They stand out to me. They feel different, even though they somehow look the same in those differences. Each one is carefully nondescript. None share the same characteristics except maybe a flatness to their eyes; a look that says,
"I will consider you with equal import as the wall, or the door, or the car—you are a thing to be cataloged." I call them strange people.

Anyway, no one else sees them, and it's becau...
