IMPOSSIBLE LANDSCAPES, GOLD ENNIE AWARD WINNER

When I, Shane Ivey, and Jen McCleary set out to design the physical look and feel of Impossible Landscapes it was as big an undertaking as writing it (I did write it, right? It exists? It's not a dream?) 

Jen was amazing, and waded in and just wrangled the look and feel to make it unique, and also of the Delta Green world at the same time. She broke new ground, but you could tell at a glance where it came from. An amazing job, and the central reason we won this En...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: FATHER OF US ALL

Some call this nexus Nyarlathotep.

Hey guys! We're super-busy in the midst of creating DELTA GREEN: THE CONSPIRACY. While this design is not final (we're sticking with the current Delta Green books design, but "aging" it back to the mid-1990s), the text and art is. 

Enjoy! And go kill some Nazis!

My name is Lucuis Greenblatt. I was director, um. Director of station custodial services for Path WTC. Also the mall. Good job. Good gig. Yup.

THREAT MATRIX: THE CHILDREN OF SMOKE

Re-posted at request. 

“And then the child moved. Dead as it was, it rose, uncertain at first, and when it turned to me, the eyes— which I had watched the priest scrape out with the golden dagger while the child wailed its death cries— were a mass of green smoke that smelled of burning hair and cooked pig.

It wept blood while it reached for me, and then, God help me, I ran...”

THREAT MATRIX: THE HEADLESS GOD

An ancient force of evil that can enter into a human host through the pronunciation of its name, thought to have been first rendered in the Akkadian language sometime in the second millennia BCE in Babylon. Its name: ES-SO-GOL-NA-EK means literally "the god whose head has been removed," in Akkadian.

Descriptions of this entity in historical documents are understandably sparse, and where its name was rendered, it is often struck out...to prevent further infection. Several la...

THE 2-MINUTE HORROR: MISSING TIME

Missing Time is a term that came into the common parlance in the early 1980s, and is usually linked to UFO/Alien Abduction stories (first delved into in detail in Bud Hopkins' book Missing Time in 1981). "Missing Time" is the purported loss of consciousness or memory during a set period of time, during which, usually, it is suspected that the sufferer either performs unknown actions, or is literally kidnapped and subjected to various examinations, conversations, or strangeness by unknown ...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: LAST CALL

When I first read the books and picked them apart for the group, I was unmoved. I was young and idealistic. I thought I would make my mark. I thought the things we were doing (or more importantly, preventing others from doing) would shape the world. I didn't fully realize then what I had worked on. I didn't know what it really meant. That was 35 years ago.

I know now.

First, the hard facts. We're not going anywhere...permanently. Oh sure, we'll visit the moon again and...
