Go Bag

Sean and Harrigan each name three things they still want to do in Delta Green and haven't — running the Program and the Outlaws against each other in 2001, making the downward spiral and bonds land at the table, playing the long game, and finally writing those shotgun scenarios.

Harrigan digs into three games that run Delta Green without Arc Dream's BRP: Fall of Delta Green (Pelgrane's licensed Gumshoe take), Black Light (a lean ICRPG d20 riff), and Cthulhu Deep Green (built on Graham Wamsley's Cthulhu Dark 2e) — plus honorable mentions from Liminal Horror to Fate and Savage Worlds. The verdict: it's easy to graft Bonds and Home Scenes onto almost anything, but none of them quite replace the original.

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: our opening catch-up includes an Impossible Landscapes actual-play recap. It's tagged in the chapter markers — skip that chapter if you're a player.

Most Delta Green campaigns are built to end badly — so what does it take to run one that lasts? Sean runs point on the long game: planning homebrew versus published campaigns, why continuity belongs to the conspiracy and not the Agents, giving players more than one character, Bonds and home scenes as the only real recovery, varying the intensity so the horror still lands, and how to actually finish a campaign. Plus a listener comm from M. on covert action games set in the World Wars.

Sean and Harrigan break down how to build a Delta Green operation, straight from the Handler's Guide scenario-design chapter. Scoping the op, hooking the Agents, designing the investigation, planting leads and dead ends, working in Green Boxes and the program-versus-outlaws schism, landing the creepy moments — and the part most Handlers skip, the cover-up. Plus hard-won advice on running BRP without burying players in skill checks.

Sean and Harrigan map the two Delta Greens — the 2002 schism between "The Program," the official government arm, and "The Outlaws," the off-the-books old guard — and how the faction you choose reshapes a whole campaign's tone. Plus the wider web of factions (Majestic offshoots, March Technologies, the Quiet Children, Persistent Vigil) you can pull into your game.

Sean and Harrigan slide into the Handler's chair, breaking down Delta Green's Handler's Guide and the craft of running the game — building dread, drip-feeding information, and keeping the table bleak, paranoid, and afraid.

Delta Green combat is fast and final — initiative on Dexterity, one action a turn, and a lethality rating that can drop an Agent before they ever roll to dodge. Then Harrigan flips to the other half of staying alive: tradecraft — sanitizing the scene, disposing of the body, funding the cover-up, and lying to the locals so the conspiracy stays buried.

A deep dive into Delta Green’s most devastating mechanic: the Sanity system. We'll cover how Agents slowly lose their minds to violence, helplessness, and the Unnatural, and how they project that trauma onto their "Bonds" (family and friends) to stay in the fight.
