This is one of the finest gaming products I have ever come across. I have to
admit I did experience sticker shock after it arrived from Crazy Egor's, 304
pages for $28. But all in all Šit is very impressive. This continues the trend
of the people at Pagan producing consistently superior products compared to
the Cthulhu stuff from Chaosium.
Approximately 1/3 of the book is the conspiracy minded background, 1/3 is scenarios, and 1/3 is information and NPCs from various government law enforcement agencies. The only disappointment is that one of the enemy cults refers to material that isn't released yet. There is even a Delta-Green.com website. It further/deliciously expands on the material in the book, and with the addition of files that can only be read with PGP keys and such it is going to feel like a real Delta Green campaign should. This game is a truly horrifying update of the Mythos in the 90's. All of their extrapolation makes sense, and further builds a creeping sense of horror set in our time. This is to the Cthulhu game of today what "Masks of Nyarlathotep" was in the past. It gets an "A."
Style: 5 (Excellent!)
