Hello Patrons. Here's a treat in progress. For years, John Tynes, Shane Ivey and myself have been noodling over the following: what would a game set during Lovecraft's End Times look like? When Delta Green had finally lost. What would the world look like?
The standard vision is Deep Ones crawling through Times Square and Cthulhu squatting on Madison Square Garden, but, as usual, we didn't think it would look like that at all. Such a concept is foolish, because such beings m...

Update: here's our Arc Dream Official announcement-
On January 5, 2023, Gizmodo posted an article about a leaked draft of a new version of Wizards of the Coast’s Open Game License. The article discussed the terms of the new OGL, which apparently include rescinsion of the current Open Game License in favor of the new one.

In the tradition of BLACK SITES and A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, we'll have another hardcover anthology of Delta Green missions coming up, tentatively titled DEAD DROPS.
Here's the cover image. A HUGE painting (one of the biggest I've done).

The earliest copy of THE CONSPIRACY has arrived and it looks flawless. The full run will arrive at our reshippers in late January.
The embossing on the cover came out even better than I had hoped.

Greetings Agents. Here's THE WAY IT WENT DOWN VOL 2, a new collection of 26 new micro-stories set in the Delta Green universe.
We're looking to fix any typos or errors as we head towards final. That's where you come in.
Please submit all feedback to acell@me.com before January 1 (please don't post it in comments...it'll be lost).
Happy hunting.

Recovered on the 1930 TALCUM raid and pried from the dead hands of the leader of the Mga Tao sa Karagatan tribe, Amihan; this narrow green stone weighs 2.3 kg and is shaped like an oversized ice cream cone. It is actually two stones, a cone contained within another.

I'm hard at work on multiple books, but the one that's taking the most time is OPERATIONAL HISTORY. It requires a finesse and careful craftsmanship as to dance between the drops of the Delta Green history we've created before it.
The goal for this book is to be a timeline AND a resource of handouts, operational briefings, assets and art for your Delta Green game in ANY time period from 1928 onwards.
(When you see these write ups, you're going to have to use your imagination to s...

Has come in for final approval and all looks amazing. The embossing (taken from the original 1997 book — that strange skein of traced lines on the cover) has imprinted into the book cover perfectly.
The printers are currently churning out these bad boys for a January/February arrival.
I get excited about silly things, I know. But every little bit adds up to make an amazing experience.

You meet a lot of people in government in your life and you never know it. Middle managers. City planners. Bus route commissioners. Departmental accountants. You meet 'em in a line up at a diner or in a hardware store, and you never know the political lives those guys, hell, and women, live. The fights. The reports and paperwork and nightmares of bureaucracy woven to trap them over the last ninety years.
I'm one of those guys...but my pay grade was...higher than that. I've been sch...

It seems like an endless refrain I hear again and again: with all the technological breakthroughs of the 21st century, surely the truth of the unnatural in the world of Delta Green would have become public knowledge?
Yet again I will say: nope. And not only has the world proved this supposition correct, it has shifted to the point where the line between truth and fiction in the real world has changed forever as well.
In our real world, we live in a twili...

With the help of Eric Holmes, we've taken our first fledgling steps into the world of AI generative art. I'm not going to stop doing my art anytime soon, but AI art is an incredible tool that might — in the future — make my productivity much, much, higher.
In any case, the cat — as they say — has left the bag, and it's not going back.
Here are some Carcosan/Clockwork Child images we generated using various programs. Hope you enjoy!

Structure, Knowledge, and Tone in Delta Green.
Often, when I set about writing an article like this, I am forced to think, "oh, I guess I'm just trying to slow down and illustrate each point of what I do when I run a game like this." A lot of this is just...built in, for me at least, and I guess that's one of the benefits of having been one of the creators of such a marvellous property.
So, while I will endeavour to take it slow, please feel ...

From Caleb Stokes and Shane Ivey. GOD'S LIGHT. Give it a run through and let us know what you think! (We're not looking for editing at this time, more content, flow and game problems).
In other news, I have returned from the land of Covid (though it did kick my ass). 0 stars, would not recommend. I'm glad to be back.

I've had this question a lot. "What system would you use to run [X horror work of fiction]?" or "How can I model [X monster] in Delta Green or some other system?" For the most part, I answer (unsurprisingly) that Delta Green is the best choice for horror (duh). It's a robust and simple engine that can accomplish many things without too much fiddliness.
I had a question of this sort a few weeks back, "could you model the vampires in Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot in the ...

A History Creation of Impossible Landscapes
What became Impossible Landscapes began at a strange little publishing house called Pagan Publishing in the early 1990s. For those that don't know, Pagan Publishing was founded by John Tynes in 1990 and based in Columbia Missouri. There, a tiny group of crazed individuals dedicated themselves to roleplaying horror like...well, cultists. Purveyors of the Call of Cthulhu magazine t...

So, it's that time of year where I take the pulse of the patrons to see what you're looking for. This place will forever be a testing ground for new scenarios, fiction, mechanics, and art for Delta Green, that goes without saying...and it will remain so.
But what else would you like to see? Give us a vote below and let us know, or drop a line in the comments and tell us something new you'd like to see.

...and the mistake that was made was multiform and total. We are trapped within the mistake, because we can never see outside of it. We are the mistake. Or, more to the point, we are the mistaken.
The inherent concept: mankind has the capacity, reason and senses to unravel the physical universe is taken as a given.
