We're in the midst of layout for ICONOCLASTS, the forever-growing Adam Scott Glancy mini-campaign about the horrors of war and...other...things. Here's a look behind the scenes at the layout as it progresses!

No proofing feedback on this (yet), thanks!

Here are the first 110 pages. We're looking for mistakes. Please read below carefully before trying your hand at it:

THE THREE FINGERS STONES

Initially ascribed to the Wyandot peoples (the Huron), the ancient stones which sit on a sheer cliff on the Niagara escarpment in Wisconsin outside of the small town of Witona, are, as best described from the point of view of the Huron, “stones made by outsiders.”
Locals call them “the three fingers” or “the devil's tines”, and they are all but an after-thought, or merely used as a conveniently visible landmark to navigate by. Few, if any, have und...

THOSE WHO COME AFTER (Excerpt)

I'm very deep in THOSE WHO COME AFTER, the threat matrix for the Great Race of Yith in Delta Green. I'm currently working on a section on how to run time-travel scenarios to best effect in Delta Green. 

Enjoy!

ICONOCLASTS...

I know we pitched it as a soft-cover adventure book. Well, now it's a 176+ page hardcover campaign-length book, expanded with no additional cost to the Kickstarter backers. That's just how we do things. 

All the art is finished and it's gone to layout (WHEW!)

  • For those who missed it: here's the manuscript. And above is the cover image (poor Rassam, the kick-ass Delta Green Friendly, attempts to smuggle an Elder Sign past the Al-Hisbah.)

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: LAST CHRISTMAS

She doesn't know who I am when the door first opens, but it comes to her. Hi, yeah, it's Gary, I work with Bob? No, I don't know where Bob is. Yes, I know it's Christmas but...could I come in and could we talk for a second? She's dressed in faux-Elf pajamas, a Santa hat, and huge, furry slippers.

Her bland smile is replaced for a moment by a single crease in the middle of her forehead which tells me a lot. She really doesn't know where Bob is. That she probably doesn't...

DEALING WITH UNRULY PLAYERS IN DELTA GREEN

In my experience, there are two types of players that come to Delta Green. There are players who honestly want to play, and those who want to screw around or want to be in charge of games they're not running. Luckily the former outnumber the latter 10-to-1. Still, nothing can ruin a Delta Green game more than an unruly player who attempts to seize control of the game from the Handler. The difference between a great game and a mediocre or terrible game is cutting such poor players out, early. ...

THE CUCKOOS, A NEW THREAT FOR DELTA GREEN

"Survivors reported that though Kirk did not start the fight, from the point it was instigated he fought like a 'demon' and seemed impervious to injury that would have laid out a professional fighter. One participant, who lost three fingers to Kirk (who bit them off), claimed to have "cut the fucker's throat" with a buck knife after Kirk had torn the throat out of one of the brawlers. Indeed, the wound on Kirk was found — a diagonal slash across Kirk's throat, which revealed...a strange...

THE AGENCY SYSTEM

Sometimes, when the mood strikes me, I make up entirely new game systems. Here's a very efficient little game engine I made up for cosmic horror. Don't worry, it won't be replacing Delta Green anytime soon — still, I have run Delta Green with it. 

Let me know what you think. 

Cheers,

DELTA GREEN HANDLER TIPS AND TRICKS

I get a lot of emails saying some version of the following: “We played X mission, but the Agents focused on Y, which was not deeply outlined in the mission, and it ruined the game,” or, “The Players decided to suddenly do something completely counterintuitive and I didn’t know what to do.”

How do I manage my Delta Green games? How do I swing them back on track or deepen the mystery?

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: RETIRED

In my retirement, I read books all day. When I’m not reading, I play word-search puzzles. I have stacks of those flimsy, cheap, books, covered in red and blue ovals, scribbled notes and cartoons, with their puzzles done out; and a Tupperware bin of split-tipped felt markers. On Wednesdays, I fill a sponge with water, put it in the bin and let the pen tips soak. The pens are expensive and my…savings…does not go very far beyond the basics.

Okay, so, there’s a downside.

$513,158! AMAZING

3,582 Agents pitched in on the Delta Green: The Conspiracy Kickstarter for an amazing total of $513,158. This is a huge sum for us, and will keep the lights on at the conspiracy for some time. It's also an awesome endorsement of our production methods. We make the books as great as we can make them...full stop. Nothing gets in the way of that... We plan to keep on that course.
