![]() THE PENULTIMATE TRUTH Our group first found Delta Green when came out. That was in the middle of something of a Call of Cthulhu renaissance. The scenario “Convergence” referenced 'Delta Green' and it was pretty awesome. I ran it for three different groups, with wildly divergent results. There were the early days of the internet, but I managed to track down the sound file Pagan had created for the scenario and played that off of my crappy laptop. Within a year or so we’d see an explosion of related material, not least of which was X-Files. One GM in our group began a Delta Green game, coming up with ideas just based on the seeds from that original article. That game was dark. In some ways, it was the darkest game I’ve ever played in. There’s something about seeing the horror that the Cthulhu mythos can create placed in a modern context and filtered through multiple levels of uncertainty and misinformation.

More than any other CoC I’ve ever played, our characters remained ignorant of the nature of the Mythos. We put what pieces together we could, we saw the effects, we tried to figure out how this could be real. My character had come from the CDC and rapidly began to see this as a contagion operating on some level we simply didn’t understand. The Ithaquan Ski Resort, Scissormen and Manifestos, Anthrax-Bearing Last Dawn agents, and Back Woods Pot Growers worshipping the Black Goat of the Woods. But we operated under another dimension of uncertainty. We’d each been recruited individually, we had little information, we had some support, but we lacked channels for feedback and follow up. About halfway through the campaign, I began to realize that there was something wrong with my own reporting line. Everyone played those details close to their chest- revealing little. But I began to recognize that I was operating under different procedures, even different people. And I wasn’t sure if I was working for the bad guys or they were. Even after I tracked down my handler in a Nevada bunker and put a bullet in his head, I wasn’t sure. I still don’t know. That’s what Delta Green is to me. WE CAN REPRINT IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE After being OOP for many years, Pagan Publishing has finally re-released Delta Green (and the excellent companion books) as pdfs and as POD. A few years ago I lost my copy of Delta Green (among many other game books) in a house fire. Afterwards one of my friends gave me a disks with pdfs of many of the games I’d lost. I didn’t ask about the origin. When I went to look at the Delta Green and books, the scans were pretty bad. A good deal of that came from the style of the text and the greyscale in many places. The layout wasn’t as bad as some of the White Wolf watermarked pages where the design meant invariably reproductions lost text, had image artifacts, and ended up hard to read. I’d seen that even with legal pdfs- when WotC released the various TSR products they appeared to have been rush scanned by an eleven-year old with no clean up: obscured text, bleed through, crooked pages. I’m pleased to say that Pagan Publishing has done a thorough and careful job scanning this book. ![]() The light/dark balance seems right, the margin art works, and the handout-style pages look good. It is however, fully a scanned image book- rather than coming from original electronic layout. That maintains the original look, but also means the file is pretty large; clocking in at almost 200 megs. On my PC that works fine; on my tablet it means the occasional delay in loading pages. It also means GMs who use materials like this to build player reference books will have to do additional work when copying and pasting text. Pagan has carefully put this together. I found only a couple of small image artifacts (a handful of lines with an italics-like warp and a strangely darker page). The book looks great. The option of a POD version finally brings one of the most awesome CoC supplements back into print. RADIO FREE ALGOL I expect most gamers with a passing interesting in Call of Cthulhu know what Delta Green is. Evanescence fallen zippyshare. For those not so informed, DG presents a modern campaign frame for CoC- although by modern here I mean the late 1990’s, a point I’ll come back to.
