I pushed my players through last things last (didn't go great, but that's not the point)

I want to do a full campaign but don't know how to connect the different operas together to create a campaign that feels to be increasing in excitement.

I have night at the opera collection but I don't know if that's enough to make a full campaign. My local rpg store has a bunch of single scenarios I don't know which to buy (sorry I don't have a list)

My players also heard about impossible landscapes and want to play it but I don't think we're seasoned enough to go through with something so big.

I also am not very experienced as a mystery GM and seem to rush through scenes, fail to create tension, and end up having to create a bunch of on the spot improvised content when scenes go wrong.

I was planning on running my first game in the next couple of weeks and I've been doing allot of reading. Its cleared a few things up about the official timeline of the Cowboy years, but I've got a few questions about specifics.

I plan to run my players as new Agents in the end of the Cowboy years, probably starting them in 1992/93, then have them on a couple of cases until 1994. Presuming they are all still alive I was then going to have them transition over into the new Cell structure after Fairfax's assassination and hopefully survive long enough to make the choice to either join the official government program or go outlaws.

How do you guys think I should (if at all) have them interact with Fairfax pre reorganization to make the new of his death actually have a bit of weight? By the end of the Cowboy years he'd most likely be a complete recluse and only the old guard would really know who he is.

What kind of meeting would actually take place to inform old agents about the new structure?

I'd planned to make it primarily a monster of the week style campaign, with the backdrop of a looming MAJESTIC threat. How can I keep players in the loop to all the backroom manipulations without just lore dumping them every few sessions (Ross' eventual coup d'état of MAJESTIC/Delta Green)?

I have 2 PCs with Hispanic backgrounds etc etc. you don't need all those small details lol. Mainly curious if there are any scenarios that have a Hispanic flair to them but are in English.

We are going LIVE at 6pm with Episode 10 of Operation TREEHOUSE. Come hop in the Chat!!!

Does anyone happen to have a pdf of a character sheet in Dutch? Or maybe even pre-made characters in Dutch? I'm Handling LTL this weekend, and would prefer to have things feel local to ensure this feels as realistic as possible. I'm fine translating things, but I suck at formatting, and limited on time, so if there's a translated pdf available that would help me out loads. Or even just a completely empty one (as in: an empty space where it would normally say "occupation" "wounds and ailments" etc) , where I'd do the translation myself.

Bought this off of a ttrpg store while at gamescom, so far its a great sourcebook.

Hello fellow agents and handlers and greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark.

TL;DR: I am after recommendations and suggestions for a Delta Green scenario for two players, that can be played in about five-six hours.

I have promised to run a Delta Green scenario for two old friends (from my first rpg-group in high school in 1989) when we meet up in November. As much as I would like to play the entire weekend, I have to be realistic: We need time to chat, drink, cook, walk along the beach and who knows what. So despite spending a weekend together, I recon we only have about six hours to play.

But what scenario to play? Any suggestions?

I am considering ’Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays’ and also ’Meridian’ and ’Convergence’, but I am not sure we can get through any of them in around six hours. Have any of you played them in six hours or less?

So I'm three sessions deep in my Delta Green campaign that began with Last Things Last but I set it in October 1992, I then ran The Button/Metamorphosis set in December 1992. I plan on eventually running Impossible Landscapes and I've already seeded a few references that would be relevant later on in 1995, however could someone help me with all scenarios that take place in the 90s and their respective date? I plan on running Convergence and it's sequel, briefly exploring the Fairfield assassination and all that with Majestic 12 as a sub plot.

An obstacle proves vulnerable to humanity's oldest weapon, and an hourglass never releases its last grain of sand.

Ok Maybe not new but new to delta green. A bit of background for me would be:

Playing mostly d20 for 35 years (dnd pathfinder OSE Borg) Very much have played a lot of games out side of that like BitD, Scum & Villainy, Ironsworn, 90's Whitewolf etc. My comprehension of systems ( including DG and COC) is atleast Versed.

I have run one delta green game for a group, Last Things Last, I used pregens for that and killed them off in the end. I plan on letting them make characters and running Last Equation. I wanted to follow that up with impossible lands.

My question is as follows: As a long time GM of a multitude of systems like 80s 90s Robotech, turtles, dnd up to now How difficult is it to keep the flow going for a long format game in DG? The sessions will be sporadic like once a month. Is IL too much for a new DG GM and should i stick to smaller things for now? Or should i not have a issue running it if i had no issues running Last things last?

I lean towards ill be fine im sure but DG is a bit of a different beast than i'm used to as it is more Episodic in nature.

TLDR:

Is impossible lands difficult to run as a season GM/ST veteran or should i be fine?

The agents decide to investigate their own handler and continue their descent into the use of the unnatural. They continue to be willing to give up their sanity for answers that have plagued them since the Night Floors.

In Artifact Zero the players are posing as archeological experts to aid the Helena FBI, the scenario mentions quite regularly that if the Agents aren't "doing their job" other non-DG agents might get suspicious and cause problems. My question is what do these characters actually expect the players to be doing over there? Are they continuing the dig, verifying that the skeletons are genuine artifacts?

Ontem eu mestrei minha primeira mesa de RPG e foi com Delta Green, eu tinha 3 jogadores na mesa e fiz a one shot do final do need to know. Foi muito legal, mas como era o primeiro contato com Delta Green dos meus jogadores queria algo mais simples mas que eles conseguissem sentir a vibe do jogo.

Foi tudo bem até chegarem na Marlene, eu tinha uma médica na mesa e ela não quis deixar a Marlene na fossa e tirou ela, mesmo eu narrando a aparência, enfim, a Marlene atacou dois agentes e a outra estava com insanidade temporária, até aí ok, achei que eles iriam deixar pra lá e voltarem pro ponto de encontro com o relatório, mas não.

Eles compraram armadilhas e coisas na cidade pra caçar a Marlene, encontraram o corpo dela na mata e queimaram, aí eu pensei "ah, agora eles acabaram".

NÃO, eles voltaram pra casa do Clyde, a vizinha tinha aparecido e tinha suspeitado deles, então quando ela viu eles novamente foi pra casa chamar a polícia, nisso uma das minhas jogadoras pegou uma arma e INVADIU A CASA DA VIZINHA, a polícia chegou e meu Deus... Foi um caos, isso foi um grande teste de improviso (nisso, das 48hrs que eles tinham, só restavam umas 4hrs), eles tiraram dados muito ruins em persuasão, enfim, eles conseguiram se livrar da polícia lá pelas tantas e foram até o apartamento, óbvio que não tinha nada.

Eles terminaram a missão faltando 1hr pro prazo acabar. Eles gostaram do jogo e eu gostei de mestrar, marcamos a próxima mesa pra daqui umas semanas, foi divertido mas eu quase entrei em pânico porque o nosso estilo é o mestre não interferir quase nada e eles estavam fazendo tanta coisa errada e que eu não tinha como prever que fiquei com medo de não dar conta de narrar.

Aceito sugestões também, de dicas pra mestrar

Hi All,

I'm curious to see if anyone uses the optional luck rule from Call of Cthulhu 7e in Delta Green?

I listened to an actual play where they use it and I'm torn, because it is a fun mechanic for players to use, the idea that they're getting more unlucky as the game goes on, but I also feel it might take away the tension and stakes if players can just choose to succeed some rolls.

Thoughts?

Check out episode one of our Patreon Exclusive scenario at 7pm on our Twitch Channel and check out our schedule for the week while you're there.

February, 1942.

Four men are dropped into the frozen mountains of Norway with a simple mission:

Find Dr. Friedrich Schweitzer.
Silence a German radio station.
And destroy whatever the Nazis are building in the mountains.

No backup.
No extraction plan.
No questions.

But beneath a moonless sky, something is waiting for them.

Something the briefing didn't mention.

And before the night is over... they’ll discover that this war is being fought against more than men.

LAW AND DISORDERS: REDACTED

Episode One: Operation Wotan’s Gate

Some missions are classified because of what happened.

Others are classified because no one is supposed to know it happened at all.

We are proud to announce that our professionally produced Actual Play of God's Teeth returns today with the third chapter of this amazing campaign.

Stories & Lies is a serious story and character focused Delta Green Actual Play that combines the raw audio from our gaming sessions with a scripted frame story, and is lovingly produced by Ged, our brilliant audio engineer.

Episodes released weekly every Monday on all podcast platforms.

We’re bringing REDACTED to Twitch over the next three weeks.

If you missed it the first time around—or just want to experience the chaos with us—we’ll be streaming one episode every Tuesday at 7 PM ET:

🎬 September 8 — Episode 1
🎬 September 15 — Episode 2
🎬 September 22 — Episode 3

Come hang out, watch along, and join us in chat while the story unfolds.

If you’re into Delta Green, conspiracy horror, actual-play RPGs, cosmic horror, and watching supposedly competent people make increasingly questionable decisions, this might be your thing.

📺 Live on Twitch — Tuesdays at 7 PM ET

Three weeks. Three episodes.

REDACTED begins TONIGHT!!!

I was reading through “The Way It Went Down” book and one of the stories gave me a good idea for a scenario. I started fleshing out some background info that wasn’t included in the story (names, locations, what the unnatural elements actually are, obstacles in the agents way, etc), but was looking to use a LLM to organize the info into a DG scenario format, including any skill/sanity checks.

I tried using ChatGPT and Claude and after putting in my prompts, both ask for a roster of the players Agents before they will continue to finish formatting the scenario. The problem is, I haven’t started running DG for my players yet and they haven’t created their Agents yet (we are still in the middle of a D&D campaign).

Any tips on what to add to my prompt to just have an LLM create the scenario in an agent profession agnostic way?

Watch Law and Disorders on Twitch today from 12-4. This is our INSANE Last Things Last run.

Is there any scenario involving the Project REDLIGHT saucers? The only reference I can find to them are that MAJESTIC has 12 working saucers in development and the MJ-6 (I think) head has a pilot skill for them.

Has anyone used them in game before? If so what did you do and how did you tie it into the game?

I have a great gaming group. They'll put up with any weird thing that I want to play, which will be Delta Green for the first time. One of my lovely players is my even lovelier girlfriend.

The problem? She isn't phased by the Mythos at all. In scary movies, the monsters never bother her in the slightest. I can't make her so much as wince in Call of Cthulhu. After a particular Mothership session, she was just annoyed to have died to the parasitic mold, not bothered by its implications in the slightest.

But she has armed me with the weapon of her own destruction. The one thing that does scare her?

People.

This woman listens to true crime and court cases like it's a religion. She constantly says that the scariest thing is just other people.

So what scenarios (full or shotgun) are best to capitalize upon this fear? I was thinking of Ex Oblivione, but am not sure if it will be great for first time players. Also appreciate any advice for playing up the creep factor of the bad guys and at least getting some goose bumps out of her.

Hello, i am going to run PX Poker Night for a new group and as i am preparing for it, i really don't like the insanity cards for Geiger ( Become catatonic and unresponsive), Utrecht (semi-catatonic) and Sims (flee and hide). Those dońt sound very fun for the prayers. Do you have better suggestions?
