Directive From A-Cell 102, “Conspiracy with a Little c,” provided advice on how to create Delta Green-style campaigns set in other countries. Part of that directive addressed developing foreign government agencies into campaign settings by building unnatural-aware conspiracies around local law enforcement agencies.

Editor's note: This column was written in 2013, long before Russia's disastrous 2022 invasion of Ukraine revealed how badly corruption had hollowed out the strength and effectiveness of the Russian military. When I wrote about GRU Spetsialni Viedotstvo 8 for Delta Green: Countdown, the world was

Written about the Delta Green conspiracy before the Program. Delta Green is an odd organization. It employs a sort of Orwellian double-think when it comes to science, intel on unnatural creatures and “hyper-geometry” — the science of “magic”.

Something is wrong with Indian Hill, Vermont. It’s been wrong a long, long time. The Indians knew it. The Pennacook cursed the land and told people not to settle there, even after they were treated as squatters in their own country. They called the one bald peak “Gizos ndeb”

In an earlier directive I briefly discussed the appetite that Delta Green’s foreign audience has for inventing Delta Green-style agencies for their home countries so that local players feel more at ease.
