Über dieses Spiel

Born of the U.S. government’s 1928 raid on the degenerate coastal town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, the covert agency known as Delta Green opposes the forces of darkness with honor but without glory. Delta Green agents fight to save humanity from unnatural horrors—often at a shattering personal cost. In Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game, the players are those agents. They fight to keep terrors from beyond space and time from infecting the world and claiming human lives and sanity. The Handler is the game moderator who creates and interprets their world, presents the unnatural horror that they investigate, and describes the awful aftermath of their sacrifices.

How to Play Delta Green

D20 Live walks you through a quick (and very comedic) breakdown of how Delta Green works, include stats, bonds, and combat.

Professions

Anthropologist or Historian

You study humanity. You’re concerned with the patterns that emerge over time, across land masses, cultures and language groups. You might be a number cruncher, a field worker trudging through the jungle, a “human terrain” expert in a war zone, or a think tank analyst sifting myth from history in reports of the Tcho Tcho peoples.

Computer Scientist or Engineer

Computers and machinery are the backbone of modern industry. You are a craftsman with data or machinery, possibly for the government, most definitely for profit. However you use your skills, the overlap between information technology and awareness of the unnatural could make this the most dangerous job on the planet.

Federal Agent

Most Delta Green agents are federal law enforcement officers, mostly from the FBI. Delta Green decided long ago that federal agents have the optimum balance of skills and mental stability needed to confront the unnatural.

Physician

Doctors are often the first to uncover signs of an unnatural incursion, and the most valuable investigators of its disastrous effects on humanity.

Scientist

You expand human knowledge in a field such as biology, physics or chemistry. In theory, you form a hypothesis, build an experiment to test it and see if it survives. When certain forms of knowledge cause insanity and death, it’s easy to conclude that some hypotheses should not be tested.

Special Forces

A soldier usually finishes training and settles into a specialty until their contract is up. You’ve volunteered for a more difficult path. As a member of a group like the U.S. Army Special Forces, the SEALs, the USMC Critical Skills Operators, or the CIA Special Operations Group, you’ve spent years in the most grueling training on the planet, and now serve on the most dangerous missions around

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What supplies do I need to play Delta Green?
Obviously this will vary from table to table, but here are some good places to start! If your game is played in person, most likely you will want to get a set of dice, something to write with, and paper to take notes. If your game is hosted online instead, you will probably need to make accounts on a few sites for things like character sheets, access to the Virtual Tabletop for maps and tokens, and sites like Discord or Zoom for video/voice calls during the session. You won't always need to have the rulebooks to start, but if you want to read through them to make sure you know all the rules, this might also be a good option.
What dice are used in Delta Green?
Delta Green uses four-sided, six-sided, eight-sided, ten-sided, twelve-sided and twenty-sided dice.
What is Delta Green inspired by?
While many people think Delta Green is inspired by the X-Files, creator Dennis Detwiller has said that isn't true. While he thought the X-Files was an OK show, it wasn't a main source of inspiration for the game. He has cited other movies like The Exorcist, Faust, The Fog, Jacob's Ladder, Salem's Lot, The Shining, and The Thing as major influences on him and his work.
What if I'm not comfortable with themes or topics in Delta Green?
Tabletop Roleplaying Games can cover an impressive range of topics and styles, including violence, horror, romance, and many many more! However, if there are specific themes or content that you’re uncomfortable with, let your group and GM know before the game, and have an open conversation about these topics. Any group worth playing with should be respectful and understanding of your concerns and the game can be adjusted so everyone is having fun. Many tables also use “Safety Tools” which help ensure that these conversations are handled easily, and everyone has a voice at the table.
