DIRECTIVES FROM A-CELL 107: FIRING THE CANON
Writing this Directive I'm taking a break from the Delta Green post-9/11 update, our new Delta Green book that will cover the changes to the fictional Delta Green universe caused by such real-world events as the 9/11 attacks and the War on Terror, Hurricane Katrina, the

Editor's note: This 2012 column deals with rules from before the publication of Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game. The DGRPG rules explicitly use Stealth in conjunction with other skills to represent the needs of tradecraft. One of the beauties of Delta Green's percentile system is the

December 13, 2024DIRECTIVE FROM A-CELL 106: AFTER 9/11, A 'FRIENDLIER' DELTA GREEN
Editor's note: This column from 2009 considers the Delta Green conspiracy before the advent of the Program and the Outlaws as described in the Handler's Guide. The 9/11 terrorist attacks didn’t just change our world. It also changed our fictional worlds. No fiction set

Apollo 20 is a hoax that's been on the internet since 2007. Here's how to use it in your Delta Green game. For those who have never heard of it, the story of "William Rutledge" is interesting and ultimately completely unbelievable. Still, it has

December 08, 2024SCIENCE AND INTEL
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”. When something anomalous is recovered, there is a limited inquiry by the group,
December 07, 2024DIRECTIVE FROM A-CELL 105: DELTA GREEN AND THE LONG WAR
Editor's note: This dispatch is from 2007. Some things have changed. The 21st century opened with America ‘discovering’ an enemy that had been making no attempt to hide itself for the past decade. Radical Islamists had been blowing up western interests around the world for the better part

Much has been written about how new Agents and Friendlies are brought into the [1990s] Delta Green conspiracy. It’s all laid out in The Conspiracy. What was left out of the discussion is how someone gets out of the conspiracy. This has led to a fair amount of speculation,

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”

One of the main reasons I wanted to write about the U.S. government’s interest in the unnatural was that Lovecraft himself gave me the opening with the government raid against the Esoteric Order of Dagon in his story “The Shadow Over Innsmouth.” With that one opening my co-authors

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. I can certainly understand why foreign players intrigued by Delta Green’s contemporary setting would prefer a

Editor's note: This Directive was written in 2004. It touches on elements of the Delta Green setting that have evolved since then. In the first Delta Green sourcebook we came up with a number of organizations for Delta Green to grapple with. Chief among these was Majestic-12, a
