Delta Green

Delta Green is a supplement for Call of Cthulhu set in the late 1990's. The supplement details the work of a secret conspiracy group known as Delta Green whose mission is to defend the United States and the World from Paranormal Threats. Delta Green agents maintain "day jobs" working within existing law enforcement and research agencies such as the FBI, CIA, the Armed Forces, or any other government agency.

The players play Delta Green Agents and "Friendlies". The entire set-up is designed to provide a convenient and plausible excuse to throw together investigators for a Call of Cthulhu adventure with a reason to investigate Mythos-related crimes, always a challenge in a standard 1990's Call of Cthulhu campaign.

The supplement is very well done by the talented writers at Pagan Publishing. They have been producing Call of Cthulhu products of steadily increasing depth and quality. Though their style is a little more post-modern than Lovecraftian, it's still excellently written and thoroughly researched.

This digital resource is meant to provide support for the Delta Green Game Master by offering scenarios, ideas, artwork, and hyperlinks.

Agents

Assistant Director Warren Glass, FBI, aka "Agent Todd": Warren Glass is a tough-as-nails veteran who served too long as a Special Agent in the FBI. A head wound in Texas in 1983 saddled him with a desk job. Now he's a Delta Green agent in charge of T-Cell, known as the "Killer-T Cell" (a little lymphatic humor).
2nd Lt. Shannon Brisk, USMC, aka "Agent Thorn": Marine Sniper and military advisor. She maintains her dream of combat duty despite the Marine's prohibition on female combatants. She currently teaches sharpshooting at to the FBI at Quantico.
Inspector Derrick Harper, aka "Agent Tiberius": Harper is a Postal Inspector for the US Postal Service. He investigates mail crimes using his canine companion, Rex.
James Morsay, CIA, aka "Agent Tipps": Morsay is a CIA data analyst whose job is to find meaningful data in seemingly mindless static and chatter. He is able to see patterns and make correlations out of chaos and randomness. (DECEASED)

Friendlies

Special Agent Ivana Lake, FBI: Though she is called "Crazy Ivan" by her peers, Agent Lake is a dedicated FBI officer with a background in Forensic Psychology.
Sara Connors, WUFO: Sarah Connors is a radio psychic for Charlotte talk-station WUFO, 550 AM. Though she lacks any real observable parapsychic ability, her natural insight into people's personalities, combined with her disarming charisma, is enough to fool the most hardened skeptic, at least for a while.

Profiles

Dr. Xenos, CSICOP: Dr. Xeno is Sarah Connors' chief nemesis. His arch-skepticism makes him blind to possible real paranomal phenomena, and his unceasing dedication to debunking Dr. Connors and her claims is her biggest challenge.
Agent Blythe Demarconi, NRO: Demarconi is an assassin for the NRO. She is a highly trained covert operative who has seen too many John Woo films. For Game Masters ONLY!
Mayana Lafayette: Lafayette is a Voodoun priestess from New Orleans. She defies stereotype, however, for she is young, attractive, and college educated. For Game Masters ONLY!

Story Seeds

Contagious Bacteriological Agent X-209: The Agents are assigned to find an ex-NSA agent and bring him in for questioning. He is tracked down to a remote logging town in Washington State, the site of, among other things, UFO sightings and an outbreak of an unknown and deadly disease! As the CDC quarrantines the area, can the agents find their man and discover the cause of the outbreak in time?
The Game: A group of teens in Arkham turn up dead, apparently as a part of ritualistic suicide pact. Reports of children manipulating their parents into purchasing hundreds of dollars in game books, as if by some kind of magic. College students go mad while exploring the steam tunnels under Miskatonic U. Their only connection? They all appear to be players of a mysterious role-playing game called "Return of the Old Ones".
Spawn of the Black Goat: A small town in Minnesota is terrorized by attacks of a vicious mutant creature. A man is killed and Delta Green sends people to investigate. The creature is tracked down and killed and all seems well, but the attacks soon continue. Clues lead to a reclusive farm of nature-loving pagans, and one who has taken her obession in zoophilia too far. The investigators are able to track her sick perversion through her Web page and surveillance, but the big break comes when her frightned partner secretly reveals all, resulting in a horrible confrontation in the Minnesota hills.
