Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game
![]() |
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 save human lives and sanity from threats beyond space and time. Delta Green's percentile-based rules are compatible with 20 years' worth of Delta Green scenarios and sourcebooks.
Delta Green includes two full-color rulebooks:
The Ennie Award-winning AGENT'S HANDBOOK features rules for creating agents and playing the game. It includes:
- Rules for creating agents¸ with dozens of professions from throughout the U.S. government and the civilian world.
- Rules for tense¸ fluid investigations; players who use their agents' skills in clever ways have the best chance to succeed-and survive.
- Nerve-wracking rules for combat¸ where random disasters can undo the most careful planning and the human psyche is as vulnerable as the body.
- Mind-melting Sanity rules¸ which see agents gradually and inevitably deteriorate from too much exposure to trauma-and sometimes snap in an instant from overwhelming terror.
