  Stoking the Coals - Operation HOLLOW HILL II This scenario is especially niche and not really worth writing because it is a sequel to a 90s version of Language of the Stars .  Delta Green has caught wind of a developing situation that will require immediate, decisive action to resolve before it gets out of control. Saucerwatch, a UFO conspiracy publication that has dogged the heels of Delta Green agents in the past, has recently hired Doretta Wynch, a hard-nosed investigative journalist from Baltimore, to delve into the case of the so-called "Colorado Walking Man" of 1998.  The "Colorado Walking Man" is the term coined by the UFOlogy community at large for a series of strange weather events, lightning strikes, and wildfires across Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, and Wyoming for a period of about three days in May, 1998. The Walking Man (named so for the pattern of lightning strikes reported by alleged witnesses who described the lightning strikes falling like ...

 Radicals - Operation PALINDROME This one I recently ran for my Wednesday group to great success, but the sandbox nature of it means that it would really just turn into a giant writeup of setpieces and "what ifs" that frankly I'm not interested in penning, not to mention that the setting for this would require a lot of research I honestly don't have the interest to do. In August, 2000. A confidential report inside the FBI's organized crime task force crosses the desk of Matthew Carpenter, Deputy Director of the FBI and Agent ADAM of A-Cell. The report details continued arms smuggling into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland by the Irish Mob post-Good Friday Agreement. A testimony given by confidential informant is what raises eyebrows. The informant claims to have attended a sit-down mediated by an ex-fixer of the PIRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army) between the Irish Mob and a delegate from the  Army of the Third Eye . Having just recovered from the ...

Cthulhu, of course, still waits and still dreams. He still has his worshippers, but they are mostly strong-willed individuals who are not part of the Cult, and who worship Cthulhu in secret, to achieve their own personal goals. Rarely do they work together, as they often do not even know of each other's existence. Should you begin to examine the rich and powerful of the world, you would find a surprising number who pay tribute to Cthulhu. They do this secretly, and alone.  Sometime soon, however, the dreams will come, their eyes will be opened, and they will realize that they are not alone in their adoration of the dweller in the deep. At that time, the Cult of Cthulhu will be reborn, made up now of the cream of society, commerce, and politics; at that time, they will do all they can to orchestrate the events of the End Time. Until then, they are each alone, and may perhaps be dealt with. But there are so many, so very many...      - Delta Green , Pagan Publishing. 1...

Benno Wertheim was recruited to the Karotechia cause in 1978 by Dr. Olaf Bitterich. His grandfather was an officer of the Ahnenerbe SS during the Second World War who had helped translate numerous scriptures from old Gothic and Latin into modern German. Wertheim had inherited his father's wealth and some of his notes, which puzzled him and filled with curiosity that later bloomed into obsession.  Wertheim was quickly won over to the Karotechia cause, and after being instructed in esoterica by Dr. Bitterich and made one of the twelve Bischofe, he was put to work collecting and researching the work of various alchemists and occult scholars across Europe. What he uncovered often overlapped with the research of Dr. Gunter Franks, and the two occasionally met to compare notes (and, for Wertheim, to spy on Franks for Bitterich).  When the Karotechia was dismantled in 2001 by the combined forces of the Americans and the Russians, Wertheim found himself in the living custody of the Pr...

This is a reimagining of Caleb Stokes' cancelled Delta Green scenario " Language of the Stars ". I considered writing a whole scenario, but that seemed like a waste of time because this really is just replacing and adding important characters and not meaningfully rewriting any of the mechanics.  According to Stokes the reason the scenario has been cancelled is because of overwhelmingly negative feedback from playtesters on the timeline mechanic that the scenario hinges on, which is a shame in my opinion because I found the timeline mechanic inobstrusive and lended a real sense of pace to the scenario that I haven't really seen elsewhere. Oh well.  The primary difference between my version and the original is what Labyrinth faction is involved. Instead of the Dream Syndicate, it's the Sowers.  The Sowers in Language of the Stars.  Isaac Fletcher is a Deacon of the Sowers, his loving wife is Halimah Jassim, a girl he knew from college who became enamoured with Fletc...

VICTOR froze, then ran. Barreling down the stairs from the impossible fourth floor of the Macallister building, Carl right behind him. On the way down he gets VERDANCE, who was attempting to question Michelle Vanfitz about the King in Yellow.  Through the door VERDANCE hears radio chatter and a man's voice, muffled and distant. " Griffith, we gotta torch this fucking place come on ". Thinking it's the Basilisk Group, she gives the door the boot and enters. Vanfitz's room is now bigger than it was. Impossibly so. Corridors lined with bookshelves stretching down long, yellow hallways.  VICTOR rounds the door frame and sees the impossible room. They quickly enter and search for the play, the King in Yellow. VICTOR finds a dictionary, The English-Tartessian Dictionary, on Vanfitz's bed, VERDANCE finds the play on a coffee table. As she picks it up, books tumble out of a nearby bookcase and a gloved hand reaches out, grasping the books and pulling. A man in a trenc...
