This year, Arc Dream Publishing launched the Swords & Sorceries line of fantasy adventures for Fifth Edition. Swords & Sorceries began as a fun side project. I was reading a lot of ancient history and mythology, and having my imagination sparked by the evolution of the West’s most enduring myths and beliefs from theorized prehistoric origins. And ...

Excerpted from a passage I wrote for the forthcoming Iconoclasts.
When the Agents seek a ritual or some other piece of unnatural lore, a Program or friendly researcher sends a nearly indecipherable scan from some esoteric source, adding a handwritten note: “Original in Athens. Nat’l Library of Greece. Pnakotika in restricted h...

In an Internet video, already viral, a middle-aged, dark-haired, harried-looking woman stands on a park bench in a small-town park. She is crying and shouting at a handful of befuddled people. She says they live with a place that does awful things. They accept it into their community. They take its money. And it takes women and children. “It takes them and it—it—”
Suddenly she vanishes, screaming in agony. The handful of people in the crowd scre...

In my home Delta Green campaign, I gave a longtime Agent the option to retire from the field. There’s no real retirement from Delta Green, of course. But her case officer, growing perhaps ill-advisedly sympathetic to her traumas over the years, pulled strings to have her transferred from operations to intelligence. She is now an analyst, which means she reviews possible unnatural incidents before they are sent to operations. I plan to play a brief cameo for the character at the beginnin...

In Delta Green, Agent motivations are role-playing tools and a valuable resource. They give you ideas to shape your Agent's behavior and get into your Agent's head. And they let you regain Willpower Points when you start burning WP too quickly due to failure, exhaustion, and the overwhelming stress of Sanity loss and projection. But choosing motivations out of thin air can be daunting. Where do you start?

I wrote this tool up as a lark a while back, and it proved popular enough that I added it to the Delta Green Briefing Documents download. I built the incursion possibilities to give players and Handlers hooks on which to hang details, gradually developing and exploring why an Agent faces the horrors of Delta Green. And it's not a bad scena...
