Still one of the greatest, and most savage, RPG scenarios ever written. The follow up in the OG Delta Green book is brilliant too.

If I remember this correctly, after the town of Groversville is destroyed by the Mi-Go, MJ-12 builds the town of Promise on the ruins.

Love Convergence, was my first Delta Green game. None of us ended up making it out of the town however.

Bud talks Delta Green...... why do I have to make a San Roll?......( darn).

Fantastic review, I have this in the 90s corebook but shall be picking up this version as well, looking forward to the Majestic 12 video!

I ran this script a long, long time ago. I remember that I added two scenes: A meeting place for youngsters, next to old disused concrete grain silos, with graffiti with a UFO vibe. I used "In the air tonight" by Phill Collins as background music. The very end of the session, the players return after the barn fight: Background of the scene - "i saved the world today" by Eurythmics (exactly this song, it's very important). Description: contrast of hell-weary players vs beauty of surroundings. The middle of the harvest, combines in the distance harvesting grain, a group of elderly people boasting about their harvest, a beautiful girl serving breakfast to the weary workers. Contrast #2: the sight of approaching military trucks. Lockdown of the village. People in chemical suits spraying some kind of licquid. Players brutally stripped, without asking, cleaned with a brush in some gray tent. While my group did not like the theme of this scenario very much, the final scene did the job.

loaded up a playlist with your videos looking for a replacement scenario as i wasnt feeling the scenario i thought it wanted to run. with your help im sure i will find something eventually.

Good review. Good to see those hands again.

Wow! I ran this operation just tonight!

Was Promise in one of the Delta Green novels? It sounds mighty familiar. Was it that "fake" town run by Majestic?

Great Review! I really dig the dark theme of the scenario and while I tended to love the hyper deadliness myself, I understand clearly your point in that as a starter scenario, it’s catering to a rather niche crowd. As starter scenarios go, I’d never heard of this one. I’m constantly recommending “Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays,” as the best entry point. By both “A Night at the Opera,” which doesn’t include the scenario, and “The Conspiracy,” era book no less.

The Backerkit is closed, but as far as i remember, all the unlocked scenarios get collected in 1 or 2 books.

I forgot why Mi-Gos use Greys as facade?

I do wonder if it was a copyright matter, or if Arc Dream never bothered to include it for the sake of brevity. To my recollection, it never mentions that Protomatter is altered Ubbo-Sathla material in the original Convergence. To my understanding it only mentions it in the Unspeakable Oath version and in Transference, the non-canon Cyberpunk sequel to this scenario, as well as in A Night on Owlshead Mountain, where it's mentioned that the Protomatter infesting Cooter McGee is a less refined version of the Protomatter, and is more akin to autonomous, raw material of Ubbo-Sathla.

Good review of a forgotten Delta Green classic Bud. Now that you reviewed the first DG entry will you be reviewing the latest ("Iconoclasts")? 🤔

Wait, one agent get enchanced, waste free digestive track and sanity loss for that?
