Welcome to the Apocalypse Born of the U.S. government's 1928 raid on the degenerate coastal town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, the covert agency known as Delta Green spent four decades opposing the forces of darkness with honor, but without glory. Stripped of sanction after a disastrous 1969 operation in Cambodia, Delta Green's leaders made a secret pact: to continue their work without authority, without support, and without fear. Delta Green agents slip through the system, manipulating the federal bureaucracy while pushing the darkness back for another day—but often at a shattering personal cost. In DELTA GREEN: THE ROLE-PLAYING GAME, you are one of those agents. You're the one they call when unnatural horrors seep into the world. You fight to keep cosmic evil from claiming human lives and sanity. You conspire to cover it all up so no one else must see what you've seen—or learn the terrible truths you've discovered. DELTA GREEN: NEED TO KNOW includes everything you need to play Delta G

TERROR ON THE DEVIL’S HIGHWAY Thirteen people have vanished along Highway 70 in the Arizona desert. That stretch of road—the press already calls it the “Devil’s Highway”—runs through the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. Tribal police and state investigators are at a loss. Now the FBI steps in. It sends your agents. They may find a trail of terror that leads far from Arizona and a deeper evil than they can hope to overcome. Set in the late 1990s, “Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays” is an introductory scenario for Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game. It accompanies the Nineties sourcebook Delta Green: The Conspiracy. The players’ Agents can be members of the Delta Green conspiracy or newcomers who have no idea what to expect. The Devil’s Highway may drive survivors to a grim initiation. Once they see the unnatural threats that Delta Green confronts, can they ever turn away?
“Oh God, it's in my brain!” A Nineties rave drug called Reverb is back on the streets, better and stronger than ever. Now, its users and dealers have started vanishing. The Agents must identify and stop the source of the unnatural drug before anyone else falls prey to it. This scenario is meant to introduce new players and new Agents to Delta Green. It focuses on concepts that may be familiar to old hands: the Tcho-Tchos, the Liao drug, and the diluted version of Liao called Reverb. It takes place nominally in Chicago but could be played in another big city.
Even Death Has a Half-Life Two days ago, a newspaper delivery driver found retired geneticist Tibalt Grieves dead outside his suburban home. Police found Grieves’ girlfriend dead in the house. A detective discovered a hidden lab, outfitted with bio-hazard scrubbers. A CDC specialist found unidentifiable samples—samples that indicated that something had gotten loose. When the sun rose, Grieves’ body began to smolder and disintegrate. It was another five hours before Delta Green got involved. In Viscid, the Agents must keep a lid on a story that threatens to spin out into the public in all its unnatural detail. They must delve into the secrets of strange and lethal forces acting in secrecy all around them. They must follow a trail of carnage to a horrifying communion. As far as Delta Green is concerned, staying alive is the last of their priorities. Viscid is playable with the quickstart rulebook, Delta Green: Need to Know, or with the core rulebooks of Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game
PLACES, LIKE PEOPLE, GO WRONG They turn off the path and head into the shadows, becoming something other than normal. Black places filled with blank rooms, closed doors, and empty hallways lined with dust. In these places your voice catches in your throat, the air seems to hum, and bad things happen. People get hurt. Objects vanish. Misery flows like the water from the loose faucet in the bathroom. Hate hangs in the air like old paint. It smells of time and circumstance, and something just a little beyond the world. It smells like surrender. The house at 1206 Spooner Avenue is a place gone wrong. In the last 50 years, 18 people have died there, and you can feel it. Doors in 1206 Spooner Avenue stay shut, and no one ever hears a child’s laughter at night. In the hours that stretch like taffy after two, no one ever hears music from a darkened room. “Music From a Darkened Room” is a scenario playable with Delta Green: Need to Know or Delta Green: Agent’s Handbook, available from Arc Dream
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER? A secretive research company has developed a miracle drug, only to learn that every miracle has its price. Delta Green agents may be the ones to pay it. Delta Green: Extremophilia brings the agents to Helena, Montana, where people are going insane and dying of a bizarre fungal infection. But this is no fungus that ever evolved on Earth. It's something far older, far stranger, and far more dangerous. Can the agents find the source of this terrifying threat and stop it? Or will they become just another vector for an all-too-unnatural disease? Gather your players. Horror, suspense, intrigue, death, and strange wonders await. Delta Green: Extremophilia is a scenario for Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game. It is playable with Delta Green: Need to Know or Delta Green: Agent’s Handbook, available from Arc Dream Publishing.
JUDGES AND JURY Delta Green’s Task Force T.I. screwed up. They were in Myanmar, deep in the undeveloped hinterlands. The operation went south, people died, and something monstrous escaped—perhaps with the aid of an agent from the task force. Now they’re the operation for a new team of agents. The players’ Agents must hear testimony from the survivors of Task Force T.I., decide exactly what happened and who’s responsible, and recommend a course of action to Delta Green’s leaders. The testimony plays out scene by bloody scene. In each flashback, the players temporarily take the roles of the members of Task Force T.I. The players get tips on how to play them based on their individual personalities and prejudices—and, more importantly, the ways that their teammates remember them behaving. Memories of overwhelming terror are rarely accurate. But memories are all Delta Green has to go on if a further horror is to be prevented. “The Star Chamber” is a complete scenario for DELTA GREEN, the ro
