Review of Delta Green


Goto [ Index ]
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!)
