Although I have the slipcase and most of the Arc Dream books for DG, Need to Know surprised me by how much it covers in such a short page count - and the adventure's pretty good too. Great recommendation for a great game. Definitely one for the grown-ups though. In the published adventures there are some extremely tragic and horrific real-world themes and events where the cosmic horror serves as just one extra aspect to deepen the characters' inevitable traumas and existential crises.

Only heard from Delta Green on The Black Pants Legion podcast, but modern times + Cthulhu? Can't go too wrong with that :D This video was great, and I'm sure I'll spread this to my friends and see if they'll be interested.

I just got this 2 weeks ago. Very timely video. Thanks so much for what you’re doing!!

DG is so good... the setting is amazing.

Thank you, Jeff. I've been curious about this.

Just another excellent review❤ Fantastic! How about doing another video analysing the rules and details for hypergeometry and combat?

Delta Green is one of favorites. Great review! subscribed!

Great video! Delta Green is a brilliant system. I started my players off with it with the thinking that we'd do a few one shots and then move onto another system, but they all loved it so much that we're going all in with an ongoing campaign instead. I've never seen my players so engaged with a campaign before! I love the lore, and I also love the amount of free fan made content out there (for any handlers that haven't yet, look up the Delta Green Scenario Database). Literally the only issue I have with the system is the way they publish official content. I love it and it's of amazing quality, but the length of wait for their kickstarters is pushing it imo. I'd never back a kickstarter from them even if I loved the concept of it because I wouldn't be confident that I'd be receiving the items within the next decade. Still, this isn't too big an issue because, as previously mentioned, there's so much fan made stuff out there, and when things do come out, they're really high quality.

Thanks for the great video. Cool system.

Thanks for stating that this is for adults. I've had some people respond to game pitches with, "Oh, so it's like Ghostbusters or Men In Black." No. No, it is not. Not even remotely. The Sanity mechanics are great, with even more diversions from CoC than mentioned in the video. Bonds, the people that help an agent retain a grip on reality, play a huge role in the way Sanity is (or isn't) lost, and CoC's Bouts of Madness are replaced with a slightly more elegant system. Also, the slipcase set can be had from Amazon for $81, if that's more reasonable for people. They are very well-produced books.

what an amazing game

Great Game based on Call of Cthulhu. Like being able to play an x-files style game but against the mythos as well covering all weird subjects. Definitely more adult in theme with some scenarios, like Lover in the Ice, being x-rated.

Great setting. Complex but good system. I really like character creation, profession and bonds. Dark & adult themes not suitable for everyone. Thanks again for a good review Jeff.

It’s closer to Call of Cthulhu 6th Edition than 7th. You really only need the Agent’s Handbook to play game, well worth getting both though.

Just picked up the slipcase and need to know, based on this review

Cthulhu fhtagn!

Thanks for the recommendation. So it is less like Indiana Jones the Temple of Doom or The Whisperer in Darkness, but more like The Void(a recommendation for a Halloween movie, but have a strong stomach).

Never understood the spoilers thing. By not wanting spoilers, aren't you just admitting that you can't separate player knowledge from character knowledge? I often play campaigns which I have read or even run, and I have always been able to go "no, the character wouldn't know to do that, or where the important thing is". I always want spoilers, and will read books that I intend to play later, because I know how to actually roleplay, and get inside the mind of the character.
