![]() The tone of the book is even bleaker than standard CoC: where the basic game has investigators struggling against Mythos creatures and the cultists that serve them (and DG does include its fair share of fighting against these forces), the primary adversaries are evil and/or utterly amoral humans that use (or at least attempt to use) the forces of the Mythos for their own benefit, and are becoming as amoral as them. Other players are the Karotechia, occultist Nazis serving an "ascended" Hitler the Fate, a criminal organization that makes heavy use of Mythos creatures and spells for fun and profit SaucerWatch, a naïve yet well-funded UFO research group that may be closer to the truth than they know and the Cult of Transcendence, among others. Nicknamed "The Outlaws", this group acts more like the old Delta Green, as an illegal and unauthorized conspiracy.ĭelta Green is heavily based on classical conspiracy/UFO theories, meshing them with the Cthulhu Mythos milieu: DG themselves are a spin on The Men in Black, but there are also other shadow agencies involved, including the now famous Majestic 12 group that deals with The Greys (actually mi-go in disguise). Some old members refuse to go official and decide to keep the old group running. Delta Green is reactivated, brought back into government fold, given a proper budget, and, using The War on Terror as their new cover, returns as "The Program". ![]() After a series of operations against the mi-go and The Greys, Delta Green delivers a huge blow to MAJESTIC-12, coinciding with the total reorganization of the US intelligence community after 9/11 attacks. The new Delta Green was released in 2016 and advanced the plot. Not until the 1994 assassination of Major General Reginald Fairfield, Delta Green's de facto leader, would it take up its current incarnation: a deeply hidden conspiracy in the labyrinthine world of the United States federal agencies, structured in semi-independent cells. After an operation gone horribly wrong in Cambodia in 1969, Delta Green was officially shut down - but its leaders, aware of the things lurking in the cracks of reality, continued the fight illegally, stealing resources from the government, carefully picking new members from the federal agents community, and generally acting like rightfully pissed off Cowboy Cops in their battle against the Unnatural. ![]() Delta Green tells the story of the eponymous organization, a secret United States agency born of the Federal raid on Innsmouth, Massachusetts in 1928 and tasked to protect the country from paranormal threats. An acclaimed sourcebook for the famous Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game, which would later become its own standalone game.
