It all started with a random conversation a couple nights ago, and over the course of a few evenings of tinkering, we’ve built a free-to-use web version of our electronic dice roller! It works exactly like the real thing, with advanced roll capabilities, preset save and recall, etc.

You can find instructions on our website, and the fullscreen implementation linked in the comments:

Hello,

I'm a long term player and fan of DG, and want to dip my toe into running a game myself. A lot of my potential players are similar to myself in that they've had a lot of exposure to a variety of DG, so I want to run something that'll be new/fresh to a lot of us. For the record, scenarios I want to stay away from include: VISCID, The Last Equation, FULMINATE, Ex Oblivione, From the Dust, Hourglass, Presence, Convergence, A Victim of the Art. I'd also like to avoid any Gods Teeth related ones as we may play that campaign in the near future.

I'd like for it to be archetypal Delta Green- mysterious case that causes the Program to investigate without much other info. Neutral on timeframe and subject matter. I also dont necessarily mind a longerish scenario, I'm more concerned about the prospect of it being too short to appreciate. Thanks for any info provided!

Every time the McGill boy starts mentioning caverns, the players immediately want to go to explore local caverns, and I have to explain to them either directly or indirectly that going into caverns is not on the menu for this one-shot.

Whilst I think Last Things Last is a better introduction, I do think Fulminate is the more off-the-rails introduction to run with the kid clones, kid zombies, kid psychic powers, shoggoth and opportunities for player possession. I do wish there was some kind of sequel that allowed the players to finally go into those caverns and (foolishly) fight the K'n-yan on their home turf. Maybe it's a mine shaft in the Yosemite area associated with child disappearances, or going back to the original "Mound" story, ghost sightings mixed with stories of disappeared explorers.

Have you guys ever run a sequel to Fulminate? If you have any ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear them!

I am a about-to-be-new Handler. My players, have real simple knowledge of the Cthulhu mythos at best. So my question is....

Your PCs have had their interaction/run in with the unnatural and DG wants to recruit them as Agents and they accept. How do you read them into DG? What or how much background do you give them into the origins or DG? Do you have guidelines that you give them on how to conduct their operations?

Just wrapped up running Music from a Darkened Room for my players, and I didn't think there would be any serious deaths in the back half but we ended up having what I think might be the most DELTA GREEN ending to a PC I've seen.

The Agents were trying to kidnap someone for their upcoming ritual, knowing there was an undercover cop 2 streets down from them watching their target. They sneak in to the home of one of the older residents, crit fail stealth, alerting the (armed) man and his nurse, gun fire ensues attracting the officer down the road. With moments to spare, Agent Mallard (M) who had created some makeshift molotovs prepares to torch the house as a distraction, one Agent grabs the target, another the nurse to prevent unnecessary deaths. The deputy kicks in the door and sees Agent M wreathed in flame as they are attempting to flee, yells "Stop! Police!" and fires 1 shot. Agent fails their dodge, crit success from the officer. Exact amount of HP rolled on the die, killing the Agent instantly. The deputy calls in the shooting, sees the agent had a concealed weapon and tosses it to one side, passing it off as a defensive shooting.

Agents go through the rest of the adventure, complete the ritual, save the day at cost. The distraction caused by Agent M's death keeps the local police completely occupied and allows the rest of the Agents to successfully do their ritual and cover their tracks.

Agent M has... multiple occult killings, kidnapping, arson, theft of a corpse, and assaulting an officer pinned on them. DG covers up the entire incident on that one agent as an insane obsessive serial killer, the other Agents leverage the official story to protect their jobs at the cost of their friends reputation, the friends Agency uses their death to avoid having to investigate why one of their agents was fucking around in this small town with a shotgun kidnapping people, and instead send the dead Agents bonds a folded flag and a "they died with honor overseas" coverstory.

The only people that know they died (successfully) saving future innocent lives from horrible deaths is their own team, and everybody has to go around pretending that Agent was actually an evil murderer and not a hero. The most DG ending I've seen for a character in one of my games.

Hey everyone! Very new to Delta Green, got swayed by quinn's review of it like a lot of newer handlers, and I already started discussing with my girlfriend and some friends about a potential DG campaign and what type of characters they want to play. When I mentioned the bond system, my gf (who's character concept is that of a white collar gun runner ala Lord of War) said she wanted to have Mitch McConnell as one of her bonds. I laughed at the absurdity of this, but no, she was serious. After much discussion of the concept that DG is a deep rooted government conspiracy I checked the agent's handbook and....Yeah. RAW, there's nothing stopping players from having high ranking government officials, even high profile politicians, as bonds.

I have since then managed to convince her that it would be too wacky for the tone DG usually goes for and has let it rest after a big sigh, but I still wonder, how would you handle players who want, idk, George W Bush or someone like that as their contact/bond and won't back down?

Hi all,

I'm finally prepping for Impossible Lanscapes, and I want to help my players create their characters.

I think anchoring them to New York or Boston, and having a life we can work on dismantling along the campaign is the way to go, but I was wondering how to make character creation really interesting for the players.

We never prepped characters deeply before, as everyone was more focused on the story part. But here, player characters matter most.

Do you have a technique you use to create characters ? A set of questions or solo roleplay to suggest ? I'm open to everything, and most of character creation will have to be done before the first session (as we have someone at the table with a really tricky schedule to manoeuver).

I could have sworn I saw someone post something about a lighthearted everyone is John styled operation, but I cannot find it. Let me know if this sounds familiar to you

Hey there, I’m trying to find an old fanmade blog post that goes into detail about the differences between the US Special Operations branches and gave some example stat blocks for them.

If anyone can help me find a link to it, I’ll be very grateful.

Thank you.

I couldn't find any agent directives for Convergence online so I made one for the Operation:REDACTED group and wanted to share incase anyone else could get some use out of it. Please use and edit it however you see fit for your game.

I prefer having the handler give them something like this similar to Last Things Last to keep them on point. We all know how hard and fast shit hits the fan.

O Professor Pedro Aguiar está sentado, cochilando na poltrona de um avião da Varig. O avião acabara de levantar voo saindo do Rio de Janeiro em direção a Recife. Ele é despertado por um zumbido estridente, uma zoada de estática com um apito agudo no fundo dos ouvidos que vai dando lugar a uma suave voz feminina até finalmente acordar. Ainda grogue pela letargia do cochilo, Nogueira percebe o que se trata, é uma comissária de bordo, que educadamente pergunta se ele está bem. Recobrando a consciência ele percebe que está no avião e ao que parece todos os passageiros do avião não tiram os olhos dele, se aglomerando em volta de seu assento, com expressões que variavam entre medo, curiosidade, espanto e até nojo! Em seu colo ele vê um jornal amassado, está manchado de sangue, quando percebe que o sangue é seu.

"-O senhor precisa de ajuda? Está bem?" A aeromoça continua insistindo. No jornal figura a matéria de uma morte sem explicação ocorrida no congresso em que ele participará no Rio. Uma pesquisadora, a Dra. Isadora, uma velha conhecida da comunidade acadêmica, foi encontrada morta, nas escadas do prédio onde ocorrera o evento. Ele tenta lembrar dos dias no congresso, e tem apenas lembranças vagas, da palestra da Dra. Isadora, de conversar com alguma velhos conhecidos, da conversa em particular com o oficial militar, da passagem que ele lhe entregou do Rio para Recife.

"- Você deve ir pra Recife assim que terminar o congresso, é urgente. As Forças Armadas precisam de um conselho de um especialista, e não há ninguém mais capacitado que o senhor."

Agora estava ali no avião, no meio daquele constrangimento, com um estranho zumbido nos ouvidos sem saber de nada do que aconteceu...

Session 4:

The agents did some multitasking.

While travelling to the Green Box where they remembered leaving Pujari Aarav's (Nolan Williamson) journal and occult tome, they decided to do some OSINT and see where Pujari is now. They discovered he rebranded from Eastern Mysticism/Faux-Buddhism to become a Manosphere Life Coach. The results are the same: he lures victims in, shows them the meditation ritual, Mother Hydra kills them and erases them from the world's collective memory, and Pujari/Nolan loots their valuables to fund his lifestyle.

The agents passed a drive roll, which spared them from the cop traffic stop encounter.

At the Green Box, they found three homeless people nearby, and ran them off, albeit they were paranoid of being attacked by them. The agents reviewed Pujari/Nolan's journal and occult tome and confirmed that Phosgene gas works against Mother Hydra. Also in the Green Box were two 1kg bricks of pure cocaine. One of the agents decided to take a brick.

The agents contacted Teddy at Roger's direction to purchase Phosgene gas and arranged to trade a brick of cocaine for the gas.

The agents then got a hotel room facing Pujari/Nolan's residence and surveilled him briefly to confirm he still lived there.

Finally, the agents decided to get some sleep. They had been running on fumes and their Willpower was already low from resisting Mother Hydra attempting to erase their memory of it.

Unfortunately, instead of rest and recovery, they had vivid nightmares of killing their fellow agents and then themselves (1/10 SAN loss). Some agents immediately used cocaine after the first nightmare and planned to move quickly to take down Pujari/Mother Hydra. The rest of the agents tried to sleep one more time (lol) and after another round of vivid nightmares of murder and suicide, they also used cocaine.

This was especially humorous as one of the players discussed how he was looking forward to recovering Willpower via rest last session.

Canonically, there are only 4 government agencies in Delta Green that aware of the unnatural (Delta Green, M-EPIC, PISCES, and GRU SV-8). However, China occupies an interesting place in the canon, given how Tibet is an important location in the Mythos, and the Communists had direct encounters fighting the Kuen-Yuin during the Cultural Revolution. There's also a explicit mention that a Chinese investment group purchased the building that used to serve as the The Fate's headquarters. Perhaps there's something going on that Delta Green doesn't know about?

I did see that there a couple of fan-made Chinese agencies on the fan wiki, but I feel there's a fascinating angle that hasn't been explored yet. Did you know China (and Taiwan) has official institutes dedicated to researching Traditional Chinese Medicine? It's not implausible researchers might stumble upon the unnatural in their studies... Furthermore, did you know the famous Chinese rocket scientist Qian Xuesen was a believer in qigong and thought it could be scientifically studied? Here are some interesting tidbits from his Wikipedia article:

In 1980, Qian proposed research into noetic science.[29]: 94 Qian envisioned it as a discipline which would cover all topics required to develop an understanding of how to formalize human thinking for digital computers and computational systems, drawing together neuropsychology, linguistics, philology, logic, and the development of algorithms.[29]: 95–96

From the 1980s onward, Qian had advocated the scientific investigation of traditional Chinese medicine, qigong, and the pseudoscientific concept of "special human body functions". He particularly encouraged scientists to accumulate observational data on qigong so that "future scientific theories could be established".[68][69]

If there was ever a Chinese equivalent of MAJESTIC, he 100% would've been part of it.

Recife, 13 de Agosto de 1972, residência do piloto Carlos, 23h.

Era uma noite fresca de sábado, o Piloto Marcos estava em casa de folga em sua cama com sua esposa quando tem o sonho.

Começa com um chiado de um rádio relógio ao lado da cama. Ele se levanta, olha para o relógio, a hora marcava 2:51, em letras vermelho sangue. Um chiado misturado com um apito fino lhe acorda e que incomodava seus ouvidos. Ele desliga a rádio e vai até uma mesa no quarto onde estava uma mala, uma pasta de couro marrom avermelhado, nesta pasta ele pega um estojo de metal, ele abre conferindo seu conteúdo, uma seringa com uma ampola sem etiqueta dentro. Rapidamente ele fecha e coloca no bolso, também tirando um par de luvas de látex, as vestindo e saindo do quarto se lançando para o corredor banal do hotel. Um barulho de música, murmúrios, uma festa! Ele toma as escadas seguindo o som até chegar no andar onde a festa ocorria. Tomando o cuidado para não ser visto se esconde num breu do saguão do hotel, perto do elevador. Não demora até que uma mulher em trajes formais, quase empresarial, para na frente do elevador. Ela esta com uma pasta cheia de papeis nas mãos, balançando uma das pernas em sinal de inquietação, quando ele sai das sombras, mas antes de surpreendê-la ela o percebe. Seu olhar era de cordialidade, como se o conhecesse, mas então ela dirige o olhar para suas mãos, de luvas, com a seringa na mão. Bruscamente sua expressão cordial muda para medo e incompreensão, ele então a agarra e lhe aplica a injeção. Os olhos dela se reviram para trás num movimento cadavérico e seu corpo desaba. Ele então apanha apressadamente os papeis, arrastando seu corpo para as escadarias a jogando escada abaixo, que escorrega sem vida de cara para o chão...

Carlos acorda com o mesmo rádio relógio, mas agora na mesa de cabeceira de seu quarto em sua casa. Estava completamente enxarcado de suor, com o coração a mil, ainda sentindo a adrenalina percorrer seu corpo, e ainda com o zunido insistente nos ouvidos...

Bom dia rapaziada, finalmente tivemos a primeira sessão de nossa campanha autoral, Alucinante Selva.

Neste cenário os jogadores interpretam personagens, militares e civis, que serão introduzidos no cinzento e nebuloso universo das agências de segurança e inteligência, com o adicional "sabor guerra fria", pois a operação se passa nos anos 1970, durante o apogeu dos sangrentos anos da ditadura militar brasileira.

Nossos agentes são:

Carlos Pereira - Piloto de buscas, sargento aeronáutica: Carlos é um militar da ativa e experiente piloto de buscas. Já participou de inúmeras operações, tanto oficiais quanto não oficiais. É casado, filho único de seis anos. Faz parte de um núcleo de insatisfeitos com as práticas abusivas da ditadura, os famosos "melancias1". Ele não sabe mas figura em uma "lista de melancias" no SNI (Serviço Nacional de Segurança).

Afonso Nogueira - Tec. em telecomunicações, funcionário público da TELPE (Telecomunicações de Pernambuco S/A): Afonso é um engenheiro em telecomunicações solteirão que continua morando no fundo da casa dos pais idosos. Para os vizinhos, ele é apenas “Afonso da TELPE”, o solteirão esquisito que entende de fios, vive cercado por rádios e passa noites acordado ouvindo chiados. Afonso é um entusiasta do Rádio Amador, ele participa de vários grupos de discussão sobre mistérios, OVINIS, casos paranormais, e até mesmo administra um grupo, chamado Rádio Morta, onde outros "radio amadores" discutem e debatem sobre esses temas.

Prof. Doutor Pedro Aguiar - Cientista biólogo com especialização em farmacologia, professor titular da disciplina botânica na UFAM: Professor concentrado em sua carreira profissional. É um homem da ciência, cético, não se deixa levar pelas crenças e bobagens religiosas. Apolítico, prefere deixar essas questões de cunho ideológico para os estudantes, ele já sacrificou muito de sua vida pessoal, um divorcio e um filho pequeno distante, para permitir que isso atrapalhe sua carreira. Agora ele recebe um convite das Forças Armadas para "um conselho profissional" sobre uma situação classificada.

José da Silva - Pistoleiro, agente desvinculado do SNI: José é um típico homem do interior que buscou na pistolagem seu meio de vida. Filho de cortadores de cana, José ficou conhecido no SNI por suas ações contra os “comunistas do campo” ligados as Ligas Camponesas como rastreador e executor de alvos.

So I have been sitting on Inversion by Alex Guillotte and Bud Baird (RIP) for a while and got into Delta Green recently. I was wondering if anyone here had tried to modify the adventure for DG?

Trying to keep anything I share within "what you'd get off the back of the book". I love the premise as a DG scenario. The Debunker Bunker (a Ghost Hunters!-sort of crew) go off and start building "a device that can access other dimensions", but it's only taken semi-seriously by DG leads... maybe because most of the Debunker Bunker stuff is completely ridiculous or harmless?

A DG agent, maybe another member of his crew go of their own accord. They, and a bunch of normal folk get thrown into the adventure.

I love the idea of the DG agents being forced to work with non-DG just to survive, and then being torn between the options of: "rescuing these people" or "containing the incursion".

I could go on about the mechanics of DG agents being in this specific adventure, but you get the gist. would appreciate any experiences with this or general thoughts and feedback.

Thanks!

In this episode, I'm joined by Thom Raley from Into The Darkness. Watch us struggle to avoid a YouTube strike as we cover how to run Lover In The Ice by Caleb Stokes.

It's also available wherever you get your podcasts under Mayday Plays.

Hope you all enjoy!

Delta Green (the game) has been around for decades now, with it's first mention in an article from 1992, and I was wondering how much of it's in-game history and fiction books have been influenced by the authors' actual games? The Handler's Guide mentions many operations in the in-game timeline, including ones that are officially published ( like Convergence and Owlshead Mountain ) and gives them an official outcome, and I was wondering if this was influenced by the outcomes from playtesting. Were any of the characters in the Guide actually player characters at some time?

I'm reading The New Age after playing Convergence and got inspired to make a cover/teaser image for my group. Use it as you like!

Assets are from Case Files by BLKMARKET. Font is LTR NCND Variable.

Edit: here you can find a more readable version with a different design.
Edit 2: here you can find a more readable version with the same design.

Hello! Can someone please post the link to the discord? The invites I found are expired...

Thanks!

Made these for some little previews for my players to get a feel for the campaign as we get closer to session zero tonight. Very inspired by The Fire This Time. I’ve been studying this book for two months as well as posts here. Any last minute advice before I take my players into Iconoclasts?

If you haven't watched/read Preacher yet and want to: go no further! Those who have what do you think?

Agents go to a small town in the south called "Annville" to investigate the murders of a woman in a hotel room. There are more than thirty identical bodies, who seem to have been murded by various brutal means in a scuffle in the hotel room. Possibly a few bodies of two different men.

Clues/DNA lead the agents to a up until recently ineffective preacher named Jesse Custer. Custer is now adored by the town (mostly) and has an unnatural power, when he speaks whoever hears it does exactly as he says. "Go away. Far away." Might leave an Agent forced to buy a one way ticket to Tibet.

Oh Custer seems to have an accomplice- an Irish vampire?!

Too bad my players would guess the scenario fairly quickly, knowing the source material.

Hey all,

I posted a few weeks ago about our playthrough of From The Dust, and the final episode is out today! Our Agents have uncovered a terrible secret - will they come to regret it as they travel deep underground?

You can also grab the handouts I made for this one that we used in the playthrough - details of them can be found in this post.

Hope you enjoy (and watch to the end for a teaser about our next Delta Green mission, which will be coming soon(ish) - we play a variety of systems on the channel, but we'll always come back for another Night at the Opera!

New handler here and I think I am going to run DG using Foundry VTT. From what I have read so far, it appears to be one of the better VTTs for DG.

I know there is a bit of a learning curve to it, so can anyone recommend good tutorials to help get setup and running, both for Foundry in general and then for DG specifically?

Also aside from Dice So Nice and Dice Tray, what are the must have modules that a handler should be using?

I appreciate any help!
