Delta Green is an award-winning standalone RPG based on Call of Cthlulhu rules. The core game comes as two books, the Agent’s Handbook and the Handler’s Guide. This video covers the first of those, which is basically the player’s handbook.
Here’s my video of Delta Green Handler’s Guide: • Delta Green Handler's ...
NOTE: This game deals with mature themes of mental illness, madness and torment.

Awesome review! Decided to buy the game and run it for my friends based on your review.

The Lethality Rating thing is so good. Considering characters have around 10 or so hitpoints, plus 3 for kevlar armor, you're dead whichever way the damage roll goes.

My first Delta Green character was EPA Criminal Investigations Division. It makes for a great JOT build, because it's a role you expect to have both a law encorcement skill set with combat/investigation and a decent sciences background. Everybody else in the party went supernerd of one flavor or another so it ended up being extremely useful that she was so flexible. Can recommend! I feel like EPA CID is kind of used to the idea that there are unfeeling inhuman entities that exist only to devour, with no regard for the ruination or ending of human lives. Shifting targets from the coal industry or other heavy-polluting corporate enemy to eldritch monstrosities seemed pretty natural. :)

Oh man, I can't wait for the handlers guide review! I'm gonna be sharing this one with all my players. I feel like it helps explain some things, both tone and gameplay, really well.

Start every session by having the player characters sign a mission NDA.

That’s a really cool idea. Department letterhead and everything. I’m going to use that if I run this!

This game seems fun. I have to try it sometime. Any recommended amount of players or any tips?

@DaveThaumavore 2 жыл бұрын

Number of players is like any other RPG: 3 to 5 is the sweet spot. As far as tips, the Handler book is chock full of advice and tips tailored to the game itself.
