An acclaimed sourcebook for the famous Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game, which would later become its own standalone game. Delta Green tells the story of the eponymous organization, a secret United States agency born of the Federal raid on Innsmouth, Massachusetts in 1928 and tasked to protect the country from paranormal threats. After an operation gone horribly wrong in Cambodia in 1969, Delta Green was officially shut down — but its leaders, aware of the things lurking in the cracks of reality, continued the fight illegally, stealing resources from the government, carefully picking new members from the federal agents community, and generally acting like rightfully pissed off Cowboy Cops in their battle against the Unnatural. Not until the 1994 assassination of Major General Reginald Fairfield, Delta Green's de facto leader, would it take up its current incarnation: a deeply hidden conspiracy in the labyrinthine world of the United States federal agencies, structured in semi-independent cells.The new Delta Green was released in 2016 and advanced the plot. After a series of operations against the mi-go and The Greys, Delta Green delivers a huge blow to MAJESTIC-12, coinciding with the total reorganization of the US intelligence community after 9/11 attacks. Delta Green is reactivated, brought back into government fold, given a proper budget, and, using The War on Terror as their new cover, returns as "The Program". Some old members refuse to go official and decide to keep the old group running. Nicknamed "The Outlaws", this group acts more like the old Delta Green, as an illegal and unauthorized conspiracy.Delta Green is heavily based on classical conspiracy/UFO theories, meshing them with the Cthulhu Mythos milieu: DG themselves are a spin on The Men in Black, but there are also other shadow agencies involved, including the now famous Majestic 12 group that deals with The Greys (actually mi-go in disguise). Other players are the Karotechia, occultist Nazis serving an "ascended" Hitler; the Fate, a criminal organization that makes heavy use of Mythos creatures and spells for fun and profit; SaucerWatch, a naïve yet well-funded UFO research group that may be closer to the truth than they know; and the Cult of Transcendence, among others.The tone of the book is even bleaker than standard CoC: where the basic game has investigators struggling against Mythos creatures and the cultists that serve them (and DG does include its fair share of fighting against these forces), the primary adversaries are evil and/or utterly amoral humans that use (or at least attempt to use) the forces of the Mythos for their own benefit, and are becoming as amoral as them. The Stars are Coming Right, and there may not be anything that Delta Green, or anyone else can do about it...But it doesn't mean they have to make things easy for them.In late 2015, a Kickstarter was held for a new series of Delta Green sourcebooks. It reached 10 times its expected goal for a total of $300,000 received, and new material has been released since 2016. The creators have released a PDF copy of a quick start guide, Need to Know for free on their official website. In 2018 Pelgrane Press of Trail of Cthulhu, 13th Age and The Esoterrorists fame released a prequel named The Fall of DELTA GREEN, using Pelgrane's own GUMSHOE system and focused on the The '60s and The Vietnam War up to the fateful operation in Cambodia that lead to the fall of DELTA GREEN.For the other, slightly less depressing, slightly funnier Lovecraft-meets-spy-fiction setting, see The Laundry Files and its own RPG, which also uses the Basic Role-Playing system, The Laundry. Other spy/Lovecraft settings for CoC include Achtung! Cthulhu from Modiphius Entertainment and World War Cthulhu from Cubicle 7. | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_1139de32 | comment |
Both averted and played straight with the Cult of Transcendence. As the Alta Vendita, they've been around since the Crusades, but they underwent a significant change in leadership and purpose after the First World War showed them how much their attempts at running the world had failed. The book giving their background also leaves open the possibility that the entire history of the Cult as laid out is a lie meant to impress new initiates with conspiratorial leanings. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Delta Green to Call of Cthulhu. Call focuses on the the supernatural aspects of the mythos and its unnameable monsters, in fighting horrific Eldritch Abominations and their deranged cultist followers. Delta Green's writing on the other hand tends to be more tragic, nihilistic and hopeless. It leans a lot on the human side of it, with the sanity system mixed with the bond system emphasizing the spiral of self-destruction leading to some Personal Horror. Likewise with the frequent "human" antagonists, with the powers of the Mythos merely enabling the already corrupt humans to do atrocities, and the conflict between the Agents and their employing organization: following orders or following their consciences? The new edition compared to the old one. The original sourcebooks offered a slightly pulpy, albeit still dark and edgy on their own right, takes on pop culture conspiracies, such as Roswell aliens, the Men-in-Black, Nazi occultism, the Illuminati and so on. The new edition however, has opponents be more real threats based on our modern worries and anxieties; The Labyrinth for example, has enemies based on right-wing radicalization caused by industrial decline and urban decay (The Sowers), the growing gap between the population and ultra-rich (New Life Fertility), radicalization of socially isolated people through the internet (The Lonely) and cults recruting desperate people by offering miraculous healings (The Prana Sodality). The Gothic translation of the Al Azif, known as Dauthsnamjansboka, was much bleaker and less allusive than other versions. | |

Chaos Architecture | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_1527e9ae | comment |
Chaos Architecture: While the outside of the Gallery of Shades maintains its shape and structure, the inside changes continuously. Rooms and balconies contract and expand, or disappear completely when you're not looking. Carpeting becomes oak becomes tile becomes marble. The works do not change in and of themselves, but they are present or absent at random. | |

The Blank: Marionettes' faces are blank porcelain with empty eyes, but each has some semblance of what they were once in life. One who wore glasses wears fake wire glasses.

The Exile: In 1555, a community of Deep One hybrids fled their village of Cha'atl in Haida Gwaii when other tribes descended upon them to destroy their evil influence, and came to Black Cod Island looking for sanctuary. They never lost sight of the reason they had been banished to Black Cod Island, and the lesson of the Cha'atl massacre remains clear in their minds. | |

The Virus | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
The Virus: Greater Deep Ones reproduce asexually, injecting a parasitic gene complex into the host. This complex mutates the human into a Deep One hybrid, and a carrier of the Deep One gene complex in their own chromosomes. Thus the Deep One taint spreads through humanity much like a sexually transmitted disease. This is what happened in all Deep One hybrid colonies, including Innsmouth. The King in Yellow begins to manifest from a single vector, infects a victim, inflicts symptoms, and then, when it grows strong enough, spreads. Usually, a victim is infected by reading the play The King in Yellow, or by seeing the strange symbol of the King called the Yellow Sign. This exposure awakens a mindset in the victim through which the forces of the King in Yellow can enter and operate in our world. Victims often attempt to spread the infection to colleagues, friends and family, providing copies of the play or the symbol to relieve themselves of the horrors. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: Delta Green takes a markedly different approach to Hastur and the King in Yellow from that of August Derleth and Call of Cthulhu. John Scott Tynes suggests that their version of Hastur as a slug god doesn't really do justice to the source material. Instead, Hastur is reimagined as the sublimely subtle, insidious force of entropy, the cosmic principle which destroys order. Because this destruction happens at every level from the atomic to the cosmic, Hastur has influence at all levels of reality. The King in Yellow is an avatar that manifests where Hastur's field intensity heightens: vice and melancholy, the social entropy disintegrating human order. | |

The Big Rotten Apple: New York used to be considered enemy territory for Delta Green up until 2001. The Fate controlled NYC's organized crime using sorcery and supernatural powers, The Keepers of the Faith is a clan of Ghouls based in Manhattan that existed since the 17th century (although with an uneasy truce with DG), and The Cult of Transcendence had major activities in New York. There is also many other scenarios set in New York as well. | |

Fantastic Drug: The Tcho-Tcho have the Liao, or "Black Lotus", a flower similar to opium poppy with supernatural effects used in some Tcho-Tcho religious rituals, there's also a diluted and refined version of the Liao called "Reverb", sold as a street drug. Finally, the Tcho-Tchos also make "Coca Loca", cocaine mixed with the milk of Shub-Niggurath. Melonia is an unnatural plant that grows only in the Night World and Carcosa. When eaten, sniffed or injected, it induces euphoria and grants a relevant vision of some element of the Night World or Carcosa. | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_2f329e3c | comment |
Tomato in the Mirror: In Impossible Landscapes, in the Dorchester House players meet a mental patient named "Sunshine" aged around 80 with androginous characteristics and strange similarity to the agents; they are completely mute but becomes excited and desperately attempts to communicate when they see the agents. But all Sunshine says and writes is gibberish. At the end of the Masquerade, the King in Yellow can envelop an Agent in its cape and they will find themselves in front of an audience in 1930's New York. The Agent will soon discover anything they say or write is gibberish; soon they are taken to a mental asylum where the nurses nickname them "Sunshine". | |

Disposing of a Body | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_33987735 | comment |
Disposing of a Body: Delta Green operations will usually leave bodies behind, and often it's better getting rid of them than explaining to the authorities. The "Tradecraft" chapter on the Agent's Handbook has a quick guide on the rules for different methods of getting rid out of of bodies, from dissolving in a polypropylene barrel to dumping the body in the water. | |

Malevolent Mutilation: The Đạo Sẫm believe that the truth of the world is suffering, death, shame and pain: their Phật Sẫm (Black Buddha) strips away lies by revealing this truth. Betrayal, torture, ritual flensing and self-mutilation are acts of worship. Cultists of the Skotpsi sect undergo a process of castration. Ouch. | |

Mad Scientist | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_3517000d | comment |
The Karotechia is a special department in the Nazi Party answerable only to the Reichsführer-SS, founded by Heinrich Himmler to research and exploit the occult for military purposes. What remains of it is an elderly worshipper of Yog-Sothoth, an undead Mad Scientist Necromancer mixing the legacies of both Herbert West and Dr Muñoz from Cool Air, a humanitarian übermensch who gets immortality and invincibility in the bargain, and the "ascended" spirit of Adolf Hitler (at least, they think it's Hitler...) The real Hitler ordered the former Karotechia to summon Azathoth, in an attempted Taking You with Me against the entire world. | |

Book Burning | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_366f3185 | comment |
Book Burning: In 1943, Delta Green's Operation TARQUIN destroyed the Great Library at Pnakotis to keep knowledge of the future out of enemy hands. A similar fate befell the Yithian library called Thule by the Karotechia teams searching for it. During the first outbreak of The King in Yellow in 1895, more than two hundred people connected to the play were murdered, committed suicide or vanished, including two members of the French government. Due to these two deaths, the play was given particular scrutiny by the Deuxième Bureau, who directed a crackdown that burned copies of the book, arrested those disseminating it, and erased records of its strangeness from police files. In 1955, Delta Green established the STATIC protocol, which mandates the immediate destruction of any works referencing the Yellow Sign, Le Roi en jaune, The King in Yellow, Hali, Hastur, Carcosa, Yhtill, Cassilda and Camilla. | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop: An important plot point of two scenarios (Artifact Zero and Observer Effect) and which the players can personally experience. Also a very important plot point of the Impossible Landscapes campaign. Turns out that the closest thing to victory, which is escaping Carcosa relatively unharmed, can only be achieved by the Agents unwittingly facilitating the creation of the cursed play behind it all. And the lost woman they had tried to find and save? Not only can she not be saved, she is now the willing accomplice of the King in Yellow in making the loop possible. | |

Conspiracy Theorist: Entire groups of them that keep appearing in Delta Green operations as they are closer to the truth than they imagine: Saucerwatch, Phenomen-X, the Dream Syndicate and the Human-Extraterrestrial Liberation Project (Or H.E.L.P for short). The latter is a Cult of Transcendence cover under the See of Hate; its purpose is to use UFO conspiracy theories to promote paranoia (fear of "Grey" invaders) and racism (worship of "Nordic aliens" as saviors). | |

The Man Behind the Man | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_3a1c2171 | comment |
The Man Behind the Man: Majestic-12 is begin manipulated by the Greys to do their bidding which in turn are remote-controlled disguises of the mi-go. Many of Delta Green's cult enemies are directed in some way by Nyarlathotep. The Karotechia's "ascended Hitler", the Fate's leader Stephen Alzis, and the Sower's Azazel are all avatars of Nyarlathotep. The Cult of Transcendence has multiple Nyarlathotep avatars that various branches believe in. It is unclear that even the avatars themselves are aware of the others' activities or are acting in concert, and the cults themselves certainly do not get along. | |

Burn the Orphanage: The first part of the God's Teeth campaign. A cult masquerading as a Russian Orthodox congregation runs an orphanage in rural Maryland. There, the children are subjected to horrific abuse both to indoctrinate them into the cult and to allow for a profit to be made from selling videos of their abuse. The Agents are sent to put an end to this and kill all the adults on site, leading to the campaign's events | |

Properly Paranoid | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: By 1789, with France engulfed in revolutionary chaos, the DeMonte clan saw that the perfect storm was brewing in Saint-Domingue, and a second slave rebellion like François Mackandal's would be a bloodbath; Saint-Domingue's independence from France would spell the end of the colony. The other whites gleefully bought out the DeMontes' holdings, seeing them as too cowardly to fight the 'sub-human' blacks. On 22 August 1792, two years after the last DeMonte left for New Orleans, the great slave rebellion broke out. After twelve years, the white colonists of Saint-Domingue were destroyed, and the DeMontes had the last laugh. | |

Reality Warper: The King in Yellow appears to bend, warp, and reshape reality at its whim. At the King's greatest potency, reality seems to shudder and slide away from it.

There is effectively no limit to what or how this ability may affect reality except observation. | |

Make It Look Like an Accident: Victims captured and sacrificed by the Deep One hybrids of Black Cod Island are always tourists, someone snatched from a hunting trip, misplaced in a walk in the woods, or snatched from open rainforests. Since deaths from exposure are common, and often no remains are found for as much as a decade or more, these disappearances are not considered at all unusual and have never aroused local suspicion. | |

Hidden in Plain Sight | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_41a3e267 | comment |
The Sowers are publicly known as a small and reserved ultra-fundamentalist Christian sect who hide in plain sight due to the "metaphysical innocence" from ritualistic sacrificing Azazel, which makes them invisible from the eyes of the public. If the agents go after the Sowers, they'll first start using their own resources and personnel; if the agents persist, they'll escalate and hire a law firm to harass and bully the agents (if identified) and a PR firm to call the attention of the national — and often conservative — media. Reporters will visit the Sowers' compounds, where they will be sold on their image of an innocent church who are focused on farming, self-sufficiency, and recovering local communities and who are being unjustly persecuted by the federal government. | |

Alien Sky | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_420081bf | comment |
The city of Carcosa. When places and people are exposed to the corrupting force of Hastur, it will infect our reality and start pulling it to Carcosa. The city itself looks like a mishmash of multiple cities and civilizations from different time periods (especially Victorian and Edwardian) built on the top of another, with a white sky with twin-suns and black stars, while the city is eerie empty and devoid of population. The city operates in Alien Geometries and dreamlike logic, governed by the mysterious figure of The King in Yellow. Once in Carcosa, thoughts, dreams note It's not the same as the Dreamlands though, Carcosa is a destructive force and result of ultimate decay while the Dreamlands is a fantastical land formed by humanity's collective dreams ideas and feelings start to become real, while humans are enveloped and digested by Carcosa until only their thoughts and perceptions remain, forever an echo in Carcosa. | |

CIA Evil, FBI Good | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_48126ac0 | comment |
CIA Evil, FBI Good: An interesting example of FBI and CIA good... and NRO evil. note The National Reconnaissance Office is the US Intelligence Agency responsible for designing and operating Spy Satellites. They officially didn't exist and were classified Top Secret from 1962 to 1992. Majestic-12 is partially inside the NRO and uses their assets for their own goals, including "section DELTA", a section of the NRO composed by The Men in Black that hide the existence of aliens and the paranormal, they frequently use burglary, bugging, bribery, blackmail, are not afraid to use lethal force (Although they try to avoid as the first option for pragmatic reasons) and even sometimes act as a local support team for the greys. Otherwise, this can be played with in any number of ways: the Player Characters can be both FBI and CIA, either as Delta Green agents themselves or as uninformed agents stumbling into a Delta Green op, and both FBI and CIA are portrayed as either clueless trigger-happy idiotsnote Such as in Future/Perfect Part 1, where not only will the FBI likely accidentally shoot the Yithian agent, they'll also likely bungle the containment of the time-travel gate if it starts dumping enough seawater to flood the valley, or in Future/Perfect Part 4, where they WILL cause a massacre at the compound, earnestly trying to make sense of what's going on, or unwitting foot soldiers and meatshields for the NRO (or similar conspiracies post-NRO). Player Characters can even be NRO employees, although not the ones in or with access to Majestic-12 operations. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: Several examples. Most notable is the Father of War, a sentient storm of razor-sharp obsidian shards sealed in an urn... and inadvertently freed by ISIS militants looking for artifacts to loot or destroy. | |

PostModernism | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_48f0ca7f | comment |
Postmodernism: Impossible Landscapes is half-Surreal Horror half-this: the Agents are unwitting actors in a cosmic play directed by a force beyond their comprehension, featuring several people who are little more than fixed patterns of behaviour except while interacting with said Agents. And they can learn this horrible truth. Horror roleplaying meets Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, in a nutshell. | |

Fling a Light into the Future | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_4aafd3c8 | comment |
Fling a Light into the Future: As bleak as Delta Green is, one rulebook states that it 'is'' possible for humanity to survive mostly happily: time travelers report a still-thriving human civilization thousands of years into the future, and additionally report humanity lasting long enough to near the death of the Sun, worshipping a Elder God who has some semblance of honor and benevolence. | |

Artifact Collection Agency | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_4ca7e11a | comment |
Artifact Collection Agency: Delta Green (the organization) zig zags this trope. After the Innsmouth raid, the group adopted a "burn everything and dynamite what can't be burned" policy. This led to many Delta Green scientists to leave the group and join the then recently-created MAJESTIC-12 — who otherwise plays the trope straight and tries to weaponize and exploit anything they find. This attitude became looser after DG was originally disbanded and some agents don't see the problem in collecting material they find relevant and dropping at the "Green Boxes" for future use. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Delta Green fights the fires it sees, but it's all going downhill. Some modern CoC material hints at possible evacuation to space habitats or the Dreamlands, but nothing positive or canonical. The Delta Green short story "After Math" details the end of the world through the eyes of an elderly Delta Green agent. Impossible Landscapes. See Stable Time Loop below for details. | |

Dream Land: The Dreamlands in Delta Green are an extra-dimensional "inner space", the shared hallucination of a symbolic realm, accessed through psychedelic drugs, occult meditation, or hypergeometric rituals. MAJESTIC has experimented with physically transporting subjects to it, and The King in Yellow is believed to have kidnapped people there. | |

Mysterious Informant: The Director of Phenomen-X, Frank Carincola, is frequently contacted by a mysterious informant from what he believes is "The Group", a secret US Government agency that hides the paranormal from the public, which points the crew into the direction of the supernatural. In fact, the informant is actually from Majestic-12 and Delta Green. MJ-12 sets Phenomen-X against Delta Green in attempts to expose DG and difficult their operations, while Delta Green uses Phenomen-X as a Canary in a Coal Mine. | |

Spy Fiction | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_50b1855d | comment |
Spy Fiction: Stale beer flavored. Players are (at their most legit) agents of an inter-agency task group that survives mainly by hiding within the byzantine confluence of the United States's military, law enforcement, and intelligence arms; obligated to violate the law but without protection from consequences for doing so; and subjected to fights against inhuman foes, corrupt corporate or governmental interests, and insane cultists with the very best outcome being a string of pyrrhic victories. The 2015 edition includes gameplay mechanics to play out the dissolution of the agent's family and strongest interpersonal relationships. | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: The demons of the Ars Goetia appear as people with lives, families, history and entirely mundane existences (except when summoned by the Preliminary Invocation of Primeumaton). They may act strange, have access to unnatural information and do supernatural things, but these things are entirely normal to them. They simply stitch them in and out of their daily lives. If they are incarcerated or killed, someone else takes their role with identical effect. | |

Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_51d8f2e3 | comment |
Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: The Cult of Transcendence, for all its power and resources, falls prey into this: the Masters are beyond human sanity and can't even properly communicate, while the Bishops and Acolytes are suffering from Chronic Backstabbing Disorder—according to the creators the Cult is essentially "Mythos Ponzi Scheme" without a real unified goal. In the new edition of the game, the Cult imploded on its own weight as those internal problems became too big to manage. Majestic's Steering Committee had always a few internal divisions over whether the accord with the Greys was beneficial or not. These divisions became extremely prevalent during the Delta Green-MJ12 secret war. It took one rogue element (counterintelligence director Gavin Ross) and a bit of luck (with the 9/11 attacks) to take Majestic down. | |

Motive Decay | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_52c0c7cf | comment |
Majestic-12 sees itself as this. They made the accord with the Greys because they were the only friendly alien species to contact mankind and see in them the only way that humanity can acquire enough technology to be ready to fight other more powerful species. Some parts of MJ-12's leadership massively distrust the Greys and seek to discover their true intentions. In the end, what certain elements of MJ-12 saw as a Motive Decay of the organization is what leads to Majestic's demise. | |

Broad Strokes | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_547196be | comment |
Broad Strokes: According to the official site, nothing in Delta Green is canon. Instead, they encourage players to use whatever works for their game. With regards to the original Call of Cthulhu RPG which DG was an expansion for, they change some facets of the gods and monsters. Most notably, Hastur is dramatically different from the more Derleth-inspired Call of Cthulhu version. Overall, Delta Green considers Lovecraft's works "canon", and the stories of other Mythos writers depending on the needs of the plot. | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_55af5b73 | comment |
All Therapists Are Muggles: Agents can go to the therapist after an operation to attempt to recover Sanity points. There are two choices: Get treatment but lie about the unnatural, which is a more safe option although it gives less SAN points back, or tell the horrible truth to the therapist. However, if you succeed this will be a Subverted Trope as the therapist will not only believe you, he himself will lose sanity points. | |

Enemy Mine: In a singular moment of cooperation, on 24 August 2001, elements of MAJESTIC, Delta Green and GRU SV-8 coordinated operations to uproot and destroy the Karotechia, from its South American headquarters to its sorcerers and reanimated officers active around the world. In Operation SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS, to destroy SMERSH's experiments to continue Karotechia's "resurrected casualties" program and prolong Stalin's lifespan, the strike team was suddenly helped by GRU SV-8, who helped them by smuggling the strike team into the island where the facilities were and finished off the survivors after DG was done, as they wanted to destroy their political enemy SMERSH and end the experiments which they deemed a threat to the Soviet Union. | |

Clarke's Third Law | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_5e7eb915 | comment |
Clarke's Third Law: Delta Green calls magic "hypergeometry", due to its frequent association with lines, shapes, numbers, position and mathematics. The game gives example on how a tribal shaman drawing a mandala in sand or a scientist pointing lasers in the sky to invoke something begin similar things with a similar "math", and the rituals are described to be "tapping" in an infinite energy grid beyond the four dimensions. Hypergeometry is implied to be the "technology" used by advanced alien and unearthly species such as the Elder Things, mi-go and the Great Race of Yith, and stated that this knowledge was passed down to humanity by the Great Old Ones. | |

Renegade Splinter Faction: Following their disbandment, Delta Green for the U.S. government. However, their ruthless actions are partly justified. In the new setting, after 2001, Delta Green successfully dismantled MAJESTIC-12 and its remnants were fused into a new, unified and official Delta Green. Some old members of DG weren't very happy with this and decided to form its own faction, that also calls itself Delta Green. The "official" Delta Green is called "The Program" and the "renegade" is called "The Outlaws". | |

Conspiracy Kitchen Sink | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_617a1d43 | comment |
Conspiracy Kitchen Sink: The original premise of Delta Green was a Conspiracy Kitchen Sink mixed with the Cthulhu Mythos: The Men in Black (Majestic-12) have a secret alliance with The Greys who are puppets of the mi-go, Occultist Nazis hiding in South America secretly taking back their power back through the forces of the mythos, The Illuminati is a cult of Nyarlathotep, the CIA drug traffic program in Southeast Asia and Central America involved the Tcho-Tchos and their own Air America-like covert company "Tiger Transit", the Philadeplhia Experiment was a failed Delta Green experiment, and the historical Skoptsi cult was not an heretical sect of Orthodox Christianity but a pagan cult of Shub-Niggurath. The later editions dropped the "All conspiracy theories are true" as they lost their place in the 21st century zeitgeist and the popular conspiracy theories are... let's just say they are quite controversial and offensive. The new edition instead creates new conspiracies based on the current zeitgeist but not the conspiracies from modern zeitgeist. | |

Sacrificial Lamb: "Friendlies" are those people that support DG's cause but are not fully inducted into the conspiracy. Delta Green maintains a database with full information on each and every one, so that they can be properly "taken care of" if the need arises. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Name | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_61d94b59 | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Name: After Delta Green was officially reactivated in 2002, it held the official codename "DELTA GREEN" for two months before switching to the deliberately bland and uninformative "Security Studies Group", which was then switched to much more generic codenames like "Yellow Combine", "Petrel Hill", "Threshold Curve" or "Silver See", changing every few months or years to muddle the paper trail. Insiders eventually just nicknamed it "The Program". | |

Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_63c1170b | comment |
Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story: How The Program maintains its agents' covers. They are designated into mundane counter-terrorist task-forces with open-ended tasks, the only people that have clearance files of these task-forces are inside The Program, this makes possible to group a bunch of agents, give them cover and resources, and make sure that when people ask questions they can just say "It's classified". | |

He Knows Too Much | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_65acf9db | comment |
Delta Green fights to keep the existence of the paranormal a secret from the public at large, why? Because the unnatural is real and it kills. The 2016 edition states that part of the job is already done, even in the world of the internet and smartphones: Most manifestations are very rare to begin with, occur in private or isolated places, and have the tendency to kill most if not all potential witnesses; society is naturally skeptic about anything supernatural and Delta Green itself suppress the rest, even if involves ''neutralizing'' innocents. | |

No Such Agency | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_66c29032 | comment |
No Such Agency: Delta Green started off as an official one. Now it exists in two forms; as a highly classified and secret interservice program, and as an unauthorized, unofficial conspiracy. The 2016 brought Delta Green back as an "official" organization nicknamed "The Program". MAJESTIC-12 is a bit more "official" then DG, with proper government recognition, although no oversight. The original sourcebook classifies the real-life intelligence agency National Reconnaissance Office as one, at the time of the writing (1996) the US government neither denied or confirmed the existence of the NRO and most of the operations that the NRO were off the books, because of that the NRO runs the "NRO section DELTA", a black ops assassination group used by MAJESTIC-12 as their cleanup, coverup and wetwork division. As History Marches On, most details about NRO were declassified and revealed, this became a Discredited Trope and in the 2017 edition the NRO was Demoted to Extra. Some other foreign organizations similar to Delta Green include: M-EPIC of Canada, PISCES of the United Kingdom and GRU SV-8. | |

Interface Screw | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: The Impossible Landscapes campaign book starts as any other, but as you progress things start getting... strange. In the first few chapters you start to see strange annotations, words circled to form an anagram and ominous notes for the reader. As you go through the chapters, you start to see more deranged art, certain words have their font changed, anything related to the King in Yellow features a completely surrealist layout compared to mundane scenes with the standard layout, and by later chapters the book gets positively colorful and harder to read. The stat block for CptnSnShn in The Labyrinth is another, with their numerical states replaced by words. Fittingly enough, CptnSnShn is a Phantom of Truth, and her stats are taken from the climactic revelation of The King In Yellow | |

Canon Welding: Between Robert W. Chambers' "The Maker of Moons", Colin Wilson's "The Return of the Lloigor", The Cruel Empire of Tsan-Chan (a monograph for Call of Cthulhu which expands on Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time) and The Call of Cthulhu. The Kuen-Yuin, a cabal of Chinese sorcerers from "The Maker of Moons", are described as descendants of the Priest-Kings of Mu servants of the Lloigor (which are equated with the Xin from "The Maker of Moons"), the “deathless ones in the mountains of China” that control the worldwide cult of Cthulhu in "The Call of Cthulhu", and the small cadre of immortal sorcerers who rule over the Cruel Empire of Tsan-Chan (mentioned in a line of "The Shadow Out Of Time"), which will arise 5000 years in the future, after Cthulhu woke and humans went insane ("Dreamers"), finally casting good and evil aside and becoming like the Great Old Ones: shouting and reveling in a holocaust of ecstasy. Some material even suggest this future is incompatible and competing with the Yithian's plan to wipe out mankind as seen in "The Shadow Out Of Time". | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: Even without all the human cultists, sorcerers and others dealing with Mythos forces, humanity would be in pretty deep trouble. With them around, though, they're utterly screwed. Exaggerated in Impossible Landscapes. Free will, you say? Nope, it's all theater, all of it, and it's not written by you. There is no escaping the play, and the Agents will play their parts. Whether they want it or not. | |

Meaningful Name: The Black Cod people are named after Anoplopoma fimbria, a species of fish sometimes called black cod or butterfish in the US and Canada. Many of the fish's traits are similar to the Black Cod people: it is an opportunistic feeder, preys on its fellow fish, is extremely long-lived, and can survive at great depths. | |

Secret War: Between Delta Green and Majestic-12, it (un)officially started in 1994 when General Fairfield uncovered Majestic's Accord with the Greys, he was so disgusted that he threatened to go public with his revelations, he was then murdered by NRO operatives which caused to Delta Green to reorganize into the cell-structure to strike Majestic, at the same time they had a second front with the Karotechia, the Fate and a myriad of Mythos cults. | |

Private Military Contractors: The Complex sourcebook offers the Constellis Group, a real-life conglomerate which includes PMC subsidiaries such as Academi (Former Blackwater) and Triple Canopy, as possible employer for the PCs. However, since the writers did their research, they are a more realistic and accurate version of this trope. The sourcebook also offers Private Intelligence Agencies such as the Consolidated Analysis Center or Booz Allen Hamilton (the same which employed infamous whistleblower Edward Snowden). | |

Oddly Small Organization | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_6f059863 | comment |
Oddly Small Organization: The Cowboy and Outlaw incarnations of Delta Green are divided in cells going from A to Z, each one with 3 agents each (With their codenames starting their Cell's letter), this means they have 78 full-time members active all the times. However, A-Cell understand this, as they employ "friendlies" which are contacts that know about the unnatural and help Delta Green, most of the time they are contacted when the conspiracy needs them and some are de facto agents members of a cell. Karotechia itself is formed by three men; however, they managed to covertly achieve control of ODESSA (a secret organization of escaped nazis) and to employ neo-Nazis, white supremacists, anti-zionist terrorists, mercenary, and criminal groups, collectively referred as the Bauern (Pawns), to work for them. They also have Die Untoten ("The Living Dead"), old deceased Nazis and war criminals back to life to join their ranks. While The Program is much bigger, more organized and well-funded, its still comparatively small compared to other U.S agencies or even to fictional counterparts. They do try to make themselves look they are bigger then they are for their enemies and their own agents: | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_7095c87e | comment |
The Masquerade: Delta Green fights to keep the existence of the paranormal a secret from the public at large, why? Because the unnatural is real and it kills. The 2016 edition states that part of the job is already done, even in the world of the internet and smartphones: Most manifestations are very rare to begin with, occur in private or isolated places, and have the tendency to kill most if not all potential witnesses; society is naturally skeptic about anything supernatural and Delta Green itself suppress the rest, even if involves ''neutralizing'' innocents. The ghouls also have their own reasons to maintain the Masquerade. While they can disguise among humans and have mastery of hypergeometry, they are outnumbered by far. The DeMonte clan, based in New Orleans, was almost wiped out by Delta Green when they were discovered. PISCES (as MI-13) initially maintained the masquerade so their enemies couldn't figure out about the paranormal techniques used against them, later that they were taken over by the Shan which control key parts of the PISCES, the UK Intelligence Community and the British Military-Industrial complex. The Shan want self-preservation first and foremost, maintaining a Masquerade prevents from people looking deeper into the unnatural world and discovering about them. The mi-go want to harvest and study the human brain's special abilities, but they don't want humanity to become aware of their schemings. That's why they created the Greys; they knew Delta Green or Majestic-12 would suppress their existence from the public, so they have an extra layer to disguise their operations. | |

Surreal Horror: The Hastur Mythos' bread and butter. Like other Lovecraftian monsters, the King in Yellow's monsters are beyond human comprehension, but are also somehow borne of the human mind, and so are much more devastating, personal and bizarre. The theme of the Hastur Mythos is the borderline between creation and insanity. | |

Police Brutality | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_744e3311 | comment |
Police Brutality: If the officers in the Chicago Police Department's 11th District think that you are not fully cooperating with them, you receive a 'fair trial' in the basement: beatings with phone books and truncheons, the water cure for poor memory, and a car battery to spark civic pride. You can 'appeal' to the rats in the cellar; manacled wrongdoers often make a full confession to them. Inside the tunnels is the 'court of final appeal' – the hyperdimensional realm of Nyogtha. Headed (until 6 May 1968) by the implacably anti-Communist General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, the Republic of Vietnam National Police (also called 'Võ Tánh Gang') show flashes of excellence and steady cruelty. | |

Human Subspecies: The ghostly, subterranean K'n-Yani seem to be an offshoot or ancestor of humanity. The Tcho-Tchos appear to be a branch of humanity genetically corrupted by the unnatural. New Life children, created using the milk of Shub-Niggurath, are effectively a new species, as their DNA is no longer compatible with human DNA for purposes of procreation. | |

Friend or Foe?: Countdown has an in-universe incident where British SAS commandos equipped for an anti-terrorist operation in British cities were seen to be attacking the outskirts of the American Embassy. When the firefight died down, the PIRA was made the patsy. Subsequent investigation by DG shows that they've become more aware of the Shan controlling aspects of PISCES and British government, military and intelligence. Their risk assessment suggests to avoid making further contact unless necessary in order to avoid having their rank and file being infiltrated by the same alien species. | |

Actually, I Am Him | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_7921ad77 | comment |
Actually, I Am Him: In the current setting, Donald Poe, aka Agent CHARLIE, is also Agent ALPHONSE, the leader of the Outlaws, having assumed the mantle of Agent ALPHONSE after the death of the previous ALPHONSE, Joseph Camp. Subverted in that Poe seeks to avoid having to reveal this to anyone; when Poe became ALPHONSE, he was all too aware that he was a "door-kicker" rather than a "master conspirator." He figures that the rank and file of the Outlaws would be more comfortable imagining their leader as a latter-day Professor Moriarty rather than a past-his-prime jarhead sniper. As such, whenever he interacts with Agents, it is as his old code name CHARLIE, presenting himself as the emissary of the never-seen ALPHONSE. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |

The Cult of Transcendence, for all its power and resources, falls prey into this: the Masters are beyond human sanity and can't even properly communicate, while the Bishops and Acolytes are suffering from Chronic Backstabbing Disorder—according to the creators the Cult is essentially "Mythos Ponzi Scheme" without a real unified goal. In the new edition of the game, the Cult imploded on its own weight as those internal problems became too big to manage. | |

Spy Speak | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_7dbfa45b | comment |
Spy Speak: Considering it's a Spy Fiction, there's a lot of this. "A Night at the Opera" is a call for an operation, a "Green Box" is a place to stash equipment and artifacts, "ARCHINT" is "Archeological intelligence" (Similar to HUMINT or SIGINT), that deals with archeological artifacts, tomes, and their practical interpretations to fight the unnatural, "9mm Retirement Plan" for agents who are Driven to Suicide, "The Unnatural" for the genuine supernatural and "Blacker than Black", used by DG agents to refer anything to do with Delta Green. | |

"NRO section Delta", the main arm of Majestic's Project GARNET (MJ-2). A secret unit inside the National Reconnaissance Office formed by CIA, NSA, DIA and SOCOM operators which act as Majestic's cleanup, coverup, security, counterintelligence and wetwork division (Although they are intentionally fed layers of misinformation to not discover what Majestic is really working on). MAJESTIC even started a prototype Super-Soldier program with NRO-Delta agents. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: In Impossible Landscapes if the players are unable to escape the masquerade the King In Yellow will be unmasked revealing the truth of the universe. The party's attendants will then rush the Agents, strip them naked and dress them in stage clothing and make-up; they will be taken to a stage. As the curtain opens it will reveal every PC and NPC encountered during the campaign and they will clap; the Agents will then realise they are wearing the same clothes they had in 1995 when they first met investigating the disappearance of Abigail Wright, and the back curtain will open to reveal the set: Abigail's room in the Mac Calister building, where the Agents were 20 years ago. Moseby will mouth the lines, the same which the agents said long ago. The Agents are now forever part of the play they created. The Handler finishes by reciting a poem, and then the curtain closes. | |

The peculiar ancestry of the Jermyn family in Great Britain drew the attention of the Karotechia, whose Project PARSIFAL searched for its origins somewhere in the Belgian Congo and legends of a lost city of "white apes" there. Since then, reports have emerged of their appearances on battlefields in Angola, Biafra, Congo, Rhodesia, and various African conflicts. | |

World of Chaos | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_850cbe5c | comment |
World of Chaos: Carcosa, the land "governed" by the King in Yellow, is a surreal place where reality remains stable only when you turn to look at it. As soon as you stop looking at something, reality is free to change as it pleases, simply because you cannot perceive it. As one area of reality is modified, everything around it changes in response. This causes the original area to shift in response to that, and so on. The net effect of this is that Carcosa is completely remade every few hours, never the same thing twice. Needless to say, this makes navigation incredibly difficult for the doomed fools who travel there. | |

Institutional Allegiance Concealment | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_8631da9a | comment |
Institutional Allegiance Concealment: Technically Delta Green agents aren't employed by Delta Green proper but they work for the FBI, CIA, DEA, CDC and other agencies, the real question is if they are Delta Green agents undercover in the government, or government agents that secretly work for Delta Green. But sometimes Delta Green can provide them cover of another agency if deemed necessary.note Some ops recommend (according to notes) to be careful when masquerading as agents/officers from other law enforcement forces since one wrong move can break their cover. NRO Delta agents are employees of the National Reconnaissance Office as a cover, but since the NRO doesn't officially exist, they are institutionally invisible and have double cover to hide their allegiance to MJ-12. In some DG (or other agencies like PISCES or SV8) missions, one of the many ways to infiltrate a place to get evidence of Mythos involvement with criminals, terrorists and other shady persons is to use the cover of a law enforcement/government investigation or use pro-DG assets to help them get close to a target. | |

When it comes to discussing the Great Old Ones, the guide encourages keepers to ignore the guidelines it sets forth and although there maybe be ways for particularly lucky investigators to eke out a victory, they are ultimately unbeatable. | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: New Life Fertility is a publicly known company, famous for their completely infallible, if extremely expensive treatment, and also for their non-profit NGO New Life foundation, which sponsors a number of social works. The clientele of New Life includes millionaires, celebrities and royalty, and if the agents go after New Life they'll have to fight their large network of supporters, connections, law firms, PR companies and hired thugs. The Sowers are publicly known as a small and reserved ultra-fundamentalist Christian sect who hide in plain sight due to the "metaphysical innocence" from ritualistic sacrificing Azazel, which makes them invisible from the eyes of the public. If the agents go after the Sowers, they'll first start using their own resources and personnel; if the agents persist, they'll escalate and hire a law firm to harass and bully the agents (if identified) and a PR firm to call the attention of the national — and often conservative — media. Reporters will visit the Sowers' compounds, where they will be sold on their image of an innocent church who are focused on farming, self-sufficiency, and recovering local communities and who are being unjustly persecuted by the federal government. | |

They have masqueraded undetected as humans for long periods of time, even interacting with humans in the modern age, and are one of the most insidious threats to Delta Green. | |

Ancient Conspiracy | |

Ancient Conspiracy: Both averted and played straight with the Cult of Transcendence. As the Alta Vendita, they've been around since the Crusades, but they underwent a significant change in leadership and purpose after the First World War showed them how much their attempts at running the world had failed. The book giving their background also leaves open the possibility that the entire history of the Cult as laid out is a lie meant to impress new initiates with conspiratorial leanings. The Kuen-Yuin are a straight example, being an ancient Chinese conspiracy descended from the Priest-Rulers of the Lloigor empire of Mu, which aims to create the Cruel Empire of Tsan-Chan. The Motion, the servants of the Great Race of Yith, have existed over many points in history. They have been influencing history in specific events to further the Yithians' plans. | |

Resurrective Immortality | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_934eb07f | comment |
The highest-ranking members of the Sowers, a hyper-conservative Christian sect founded in the 21st century, believe they can absolve their sins by ritualistically murdering the demon Azazel, who comes back to die again as a scapegoat. Azazel's character description immediately deflates this, as he is really yet another mask of Nyarlathotep. Whether he appeared in the guise of Azazel throughout time, or if he's only started to manifest to manipulate the Sowers is left open. | |

Master of Illusion: Arvan Chilton, the antagonist of CONTROLCOPY, is a hedonistic and impulsive serial killer who uses a mythos ritual to control the appearances of people and objects, disguising his weapons and crimes. | |

Been There, Shaped History | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_9a1d239e | comment |
Been There, Shaped History: In 1969, Delta Green organizes an unsanctioned raid on Cambodia, where 300 Marines and DELTA GREEN agents paradrop on Cambodia attempting to destroy the Đạo Sẫm and prevent them from summoning a Great Old One. The operation fails spectacularly. When the US and South Vietnam invade Cambodia seven months later, they meet stiff resistance from well-prepared Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge, as the Đạo Sẫm were disguised as North Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge units. This serves as the final nail on the coffin for the original Delta Green. Adolph Lepus (future NRO Delta commander) and Donald Poe (future Agent CHARLIE and later would take the mantle of Agent ALPHONSE) participated in Operation OBSIDIAN and ended up as two of the few survivors. They were also the ones that killed Colonel Satchel Wade and his mistress as a revenge for organizing the mission. The Fall of DELTA GREEN implies that the legendary MACV-SOG might have been inspired by Delta Green. In 1993 Delta Green discovered information about what they thought it was a mythos cult in Waco, Texas. The agents organize the ATF and FBI to raid the cult's compound resulting in the now-infamous Waco Siege. They were wrong, there was nothing particularly unnatural on Waco. 76 people died due to Delta Green's faulty intel. During the Katrina hurricane, there were a lot of reports of gunfire shots in New Orleans after the levees broke. Much of those were agents part of Delta Green death squads sent to hunt down and execute Ghouls of the DeMonte clan. In the scenario Khali Gati it is implied that the god-priest that sleeps in the mountain around Khali Gati inspired the pre-islamic Afghan god Zun, or at least that's what the village elder tells you. The Kuen-Yuin have manipulated Chinese history since the time of the Yellow Emperor, choosing subsequent imperial dynasties, manipulating court politics in their favor by magic or infiltrated eunuchs, and causing dynastic changes when the imperial family did not favor them. During times of dynastic conflicts and warlord eras, they would cause as much destruction, cruelty and pain as possible. Ironically, during the Cultural Revolution, Mao declared "magic" as superstitious and counter-revolutionary, and purged the Kuen-Yuin, bombing their ancient monasteries, executing their members en masse, and forcing their survivors into exile. | |

Eldritch Location | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: The city of Carcosa. When places and people are exposed to the corrupting force of Hastur, it will infect our reality and start pulling it to Carcosa. The city itself looks like a mishmash of multiple cities and civilizations from different time periods (especially Victorian and Edwardian) built on the top of another, with a white sky with twin-suns and black stars, while the city is eerie empty and devoid of population. The city operates in Alien Geometries and dreamlike logic, governed by the mysterious figure of The King in Yellow. Once in Carcosa, thoughts, dreams note It's not the same as the Dreamlands though, Carcosa is a destructive force and result of ultimate decay while the Dreamlands is a fantastical land formed by humanity's collective dreams ideas and feelings start to become real, while humans are enveloped and digested by Carcosa until only their thoughts and perceptions remain, forever an echo in Carcosa. The Vagnoptus Manor, the headquarters of the Cult of Transcendence. From outside it looks like an abandoned mansion, you can find it on a map located just outside Stockholm, and also its property or tax records too. However, the architecture of the manor is formed with Alien Geometries, and walking through the halls of the Manor in the right way will eventually result in ending in the "Nightmare mansion", an alternate version of the mansion (or it's still is the same mansion, maybe) that is in orbit of the court of Azathoth. | |

Elite Mooks: "NRO section Delta", the main arm of Majestic's Project GARNET (MJ-2). A secret unit inside the National Reconnaissance Office formed by CIA, NSA, DIA and SOCOM operators which act as Majestic's cleanup, coverup, security, counterintelligence and wetwork division (Although they are intentionally fed layers of misinformation to not discover what Majestic is really working on). MAJESTIC even started a prototype Super-Soldier program with NRO-Delta agents. Operation BLUE FLY, the primary operation of Project MOON DUST (MJ-5). The unit is under the cover of the USAF’s Foreign Technology Recovery Unit and are formed by experienced USAF Pararescue (PJs) special operators. In practice they serve as MAJESTIC's military division, eliminating extraterrestrial and paranormal threats with extreme prejudice. When The Program was formed, BLUE FLY became Operation CORAL NOMAD, which act as their "asset recovery" division, flying and transporting unnatural artifacts, technology, and specimens from case officers, or more rarely, from Agents in the field. | |

Judge, Jury, and Executioner: The Star Council intervenes in a case where DG-aligned units are investigated either to assess responsibility for something that went wrong or to assign responsibility in case a DG operation goes bad. In some instances, they can recommend to liquidate the unit or to execute its personnel to ensure that there are no double agents or alien/paranormal infiltrators. The players are the council in the scenario The Star Chamber. | |

Half-Human Hybrid | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_a2cbad1 | comment |
Half-Human Hybrid: Delta Green puts its own spin on the classic Lovecraftian Deep One hybrids, ghoul changelings, and the spawn of Yog-Sothoth. The peculiar ancestry of the Jermyn family in Great Britain drew the attention of the Karotechia, whose Project PARSIFAL searched for its origins somewhere in the Belgian Congo and legends of a lost city of "white apes" there. Since then, reports have emerged of their appearances on battlefields in Angola, Biafra, Congo, Rhodesia, and various African conflicts. The New Life Fertility company uses in vitro fertilization treatments as a cover for genetically engineering spawn of Shub-Niggurath. New Life children are of unnaturally healthy stock but can only interbreed—producing offspring with distinctive familial eyes. | |

Canon Discontinuity: When the original Convergence was published in 1992 on The Unspeakable Oath, it was followed by a sequel named "Transference", published on the Cyberpunk 2020 fanzine Interface. Featuring Argentinian refugee scientists on Antarctica making a pact with the mi-go, infecting themselves with the protomatter, and creating a Mega-Corp, with the players uncovering their dark secrets. The scenario has been completely disregarded in later canon. | |

Loners Are Freaks | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_b04fdcc4 | comment |
Loners Are Freaks: The Lonely, a collection of unaffiliated loners and incels who are organized through the internet by a mysterious figure known as "CptnSnshn" (Captain Sunshine). CptnSnshn has an uncanny ability to find isolated people in nearly any subculture and reinforce and amplify their loneliness and resentment, and their abilities have only grown stronger with the rise of the internet. The many persons that become CptnSnshn are actually a Phantom of Truth: an avatar of the King in Yellow, representing the entropy and destruction of social relations. As CptnSnshn keeps corrupting them more and more, they tend to either disappear out of existence or become mad bombers or mass shooters. The adventure even posits why those who are about to become The Lonely (or are already Lonely) are due to some special kind of freakiness that causes most normal humans to shun and belittle them. | |

Sanity Meter: Naturally as a Call of Cthulhu game. Delta Green offers an interesting variation: The 2016 standalone adds bonds for every agents. Every Agent starts with points in each bond, and can project on their bonds to lower the SAN loss at the coast of the relationship with the bonds. | |

The Tcho-Tcho have the Liao, or "Black Lotus", a flower similar to opium poppy with supernatural effects used in some Tcho-Tcho religious rituals, there's also a diluted and refined version of the Liao called "Reverb", sold as a street drug. Finally, the Tcho-Tchos also make "Coca Loca", cocaine mixed with the milk of Shub-Niggurath. | |

"Groundhog Day" Loop: In Carcosa-related material, Repeaters are caught in repeating patterns of their former life. An author might write and drink and never leave their room unless prodded by someone else. A bellhop might man a front desk for eternity. Until someone comes in contact with them, it is likely they perform the same actions over and over again. To them, time has ceased counting. | |

Knight Templar | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_bbfaa837 | comment |
Knight Templar: Delta Green agents used to go too far in their quest to both protect the American populace from the supernatural and keep the existence of the latter (and itself) a secret, particularly in the Fairfield era. Some still do. In the words of one DG agent, "we do the horrific to prevent the apocalyptic". Later in that story, the same agent deliberately, and (we are led to believe) needfully, shoots a baby. | |

Endangering News Broadcast: The massive leaks by Manning in 2010 and Snowden in 2013 included communications by agents of the Program. Others wound up online in 2007. The agents who sent them were frozen out of the Program immediately after the leaks, had all ties to other personnel severed, and were warned explicitly to pretend insanity, drug abuse, or some terrible crime if needed to halt an investigation. So far, no investigators or journalists have pieced the data together. If they do, it may fall to some active team to make sure the damage is contained. | |

The Theme Park Version | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_be8f3491 | comment |
The Theme Park Version: In 1989, in order to lessen local suspicion following the deaths of two Deep One hybrids of Black Cod Island, the 'Black Cod way of life', or at least a facsimile thereof, was opened to tourists and graduate students from the Department of Anthropology in the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In truth, all an outsider ever sees is lifted directly from an anthropology textbook, and their stories are boringly tame. Twenty years of research has compiled the illusion of a Haida-like culture, and it is generally accepted that the Black Cod are a Haida offshoot. The oddities in their language and culture (particularly their worship of the sea) have been noted as nothing more than a curiosity. | |

Mind Screw: The Hastur Mythos and its adventures, combining with Surreal Horror. Its adventures take on a much more surrealistic flavour compared to 'mainline' Delta Green: instead of fighting R'lyeh cultists and Mi-Go horrors, you're fighting time-looped ghosts speaking gibberish, hollowed-out marionettes, and trying to stop a surrealistic nightmare vision of New York that is made of billions of skyscrapers falling into Carcosa and collapsing under its own weight as insane creatures from multiple dimensions fight, fuck, and flee in countless spontaneous plays. | |

Featuring unique descriptions for the art of both Major and Minor Arcanas cryptically themed after the Hastur Mythos. The most major change is that card IV (The Emperor) has become card XXI and is instead named Le Roi en Jaune. The book gives tips on how the Handler can invoke this trope and use the King in Yellow tarot in the games. | |

Generic Doomsday Villain | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_c250346f | comment |
Generic Doomsday Villain: The Cult of Transcendence come close to this trope. Their basic goal is to 'uplift' humanity into a proper Mythos race, an existence without concern for order, compassion, pain or pleasure. They do this by subtly sabotaging human society and corrupting people anyway they can. They're oddly philosophical about it, too. Deconstruction or Reconstruction? Either way, their entry lampshades the fact that their basic lack of humanity means they act like this trope, and do not care if they win or lose, which is what makes them so dangerous. In the original incarnation of The Hastur Mythos, the King in Yellow is portrayed as this—it's a harbinger of Carcosa, a world of chaos and madness, but whether it has any plan or even sapience of its own is left unclear. | |

Horrible Judge of Character | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_c5385ad9 | comment |
Horrible Judge of Character: During the 1960s in Vietnam the CIA had the idea of arming the Tcho-Tcho to fight the communists, not unlike the Hmong, the Yao or the Montagnards. Despite the Tcho-Tchos' rabid hatred of the communists, Delta Green and the Green Berets advised the CIA against arming the despicable, sadistic cannibals. Their warning was ignored. The CIA never admitted it had made a mistake with the Tcho-Tchos, even after it became obvious that the tribesmen were more interested in killing and eating their Hmong, Yao and Montagnard neighbours than they were in fighting the communists. In 1969, the Tcho-Tcho begin to turn on the Americans, luring them into ambushes and stew pots. | |

Infectious Insanity | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_c6255bd1 | comment |
Infectious Insanity: One of the plots of MJ-12's Project OUTLOOK is to create a "psychological virus", a way of causing a cascading spiral of riots and unrest through manipulation of the media. Hastur. Unlike vanilla Call of Cthulhu, Hastur is not a God or Old One, but an infectious and pervasive force of decay. Knowing about Hastur or its related mythos trappings allows such decay to happen on a person's psyche, and "infected" people will become a vector in spreading Hastur's influence. Even worse is that it can infect places too, which also become "insane" in their own way. Both places and people can infect each other and vice-versa, until they are affected enough and get pulled to Carcosa. In Impossible Landscapes it's reflected by the Corruption mechanic. | |

Legacy Character | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_c9e5a0db | comment |
Legacy Character: Agent ALPHONSE. Originally that was the role of Joseph Camp, organizer of the Delta Green conspiracy. After his death, Donald Poe, a.k.a Agent CHARLIE found the A-Cell's data and resources and assumed the mantle of Agent ALPHONSE. He is still Agent CHARLIE as well, presenting himself in person as CHARLIE and creating the illusion of a never-seen ALPHONSE. The name "Alphonse" is also an homage to Captain Alphonse Dumars, one of the few officers of the ONI's Parapsychology, Paranormal, and Psychic Phenomena Desk before the Innsmouth raid, writer of the PUZZLEBOX after-action report and early Delta Green leader. There will always be a CptnSnshn; if the current one is killed, the newest to be induced into the Lonely suddenly starts acting as if they always were CptnSnshn, and within a few days they absorb and learn all the knowledge of previous CptnSnshn and the cycle will begin anew. While the connection with Carcosa can be temporarily severed, it's only temporary, as lonely people will always exist. The Lonely, and CptnSnshn, can't be beaten. | |

Vigilante Man | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_cb9aeb6a | comment |
Vigilante Man: After its official disbandment, DELTA GREEN operatives continue to operate within the government as a secret conspiracy, without official sanction. When the Program was reactivated, a stubborn core of Delta Green agents rejected the compromises that the Program promised in exchange for legitimacy and did their best to drop out of view, but maintained their mission. | |

Morally Ambiguous Doctorate | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_d3aad64a | comment |
Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: "Dr." Olaf Bittereich of the Karotechia. He is not even a real doctor, but a con man pretending to be "medium" who was recruited into the Karotechia to help with research. He accidentally stumbled into a spell to contact "those beyond", on the activation he was contacted by the spirits of great German heroes and finally the Führer himself, now ascended as one of the Enlightened Masters. He commanded Bittereich to use the remnants of the Karotechia to start the Fourth Reich and elevate the aryans into an "ascended" race. Dr. Gunter Frank is a legit scientist and doctor compared to Bittereich, but no less evil. He is a technological necromancer, behind the Karotechia's "Resuscitated Casualties" program. He transferred his consciousness to new body in order to cheat death, but made him sensitive to high temperatures, similarly to Dr. Muñoz, staying in a cold refrigerated laboratory doing terrible and cruel experiments. | |

Interservice Rivalry: All the time between the various real-world agencies. Delta Green and MJ-12 used to have this in the short period where both officially worked for the US government. The 2016 edition features two Delta Greens; the Special Access Program, a reactivated, officially sanctioned version, and "the Cowboys", DG Agents who refused to come in from the cold and thus operate as vigilantes. The 2016 edition allows players using Cowboys to treat the Program as Delta Green did the NRO. | |

Elites Are More Glamorous | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_d5c7b415 | comment |
Elites Are More Glamorous: The Special Operator profession. It is considered one of the "core" professionsnote along with Federal Agent, Physician, Anthropologist,Historian, Computer Scientist and Engineer, while the Soldier/Marine is considered an "additional" profession. Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you realize how much more useful a special forces operator is for a Delta Green team then a normal Soldier/Marine: Not only they can shoot and fight better, but also most of their training includes highly specialized expertise like Unconventional Warfare and Counterterrorism. Some units are trained to covertly act on foreign soil for months without support, such as the Green Berets or the CIA SAD/SOG. The Special Operator includes members of the USSOCOM, FBI Hostage Rescue Team and CIA Paramilitary. In Fall of DELTA GREEN, most of those organizations were founded over the course of the decade or not at all yet. Special Forces has lapsed into the Military Service category for this game but gives more bonuses than an active duty Soldier or Marine. | |

The End of the World as We Know It | |

The End of the World as We Know It: In 1945, with the Reich's strength spent, Hitler's final order to the Karotechia was to summon Azathoth and destroy the victorious Allies with the entire planet. For three months in 1945, Delta Green fought the last battle of the European war against the Karotechia: Operation LUNACY. Aktion GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG was ruined in a series of covert actions that cost the lives of many Agents and even more Karotechia members. | |

Formulaic Magic | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_d7c059b2 | comment |
Formulaic Magic: Hypergeometry is this mixed with Geometric Magic. Magic at its very core is the mathematic and geometrical manipulation of reality. Since humans from different cultures add their own biases to the rituals to perform magic, two widely different cultures can have a ritual with the same effects since their "core" is the same. As hypergeometry is strongly linked to math, some spells require the user to have a high level of skill in mathematics. Many "sorcerers" are employed by the NSA since the organization is the world's largest employer of mathematicians. | |

Elaborate Underground Base | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_daef39ee | comment |
Elaborate Underground Base: COUNTRY CLUB, the MJ-12 headquarters. A massive underground facility that can only be accessed by air, containing MJ12's Project AQUARIUS (MJ-1), databases, the conference facilities for the Steering Committee, facilities for communication with the Greys, and the original copy of the The Accord. ICE CAVE, MJ-12's xenobiology research laboratory is a secret vault constructed under the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Constructed as the Atomic Energy Commission's YY-II reserve facility, it was first used by Delta Green to host the Deep One survivors of the Innsmouth raid and later Majestic-12 took control of the facility and used to store the Greys from Roswell. The Prana Sodality owns an old ICBM silo (used before in MAJESTIC's Project FORSAL) where they have built their "Polarity Vortex": a massive electromagnetic energy resonator used in an alternative medicine therapy by the Sodality's clients, supposedly removing their "bad energy" and replacing with "good energy". The polarity vortex is in the confluence of a Lloigor energy vortex, and the Polarity Vortex's structure and machinery only makes this Lloigor energy more concentrated. | |

Keeping the Enemy Close: The Program and March Industries have this dynamic. March is formed by ex-Majestic personnel, researchers, technology and even some old members from MJ-12's steering committee. They are the only one that can provide high-level research for Delta Green and cannot be disbanded without blowing their own cover, and at the same time March abuse that position to slowly regain their lost power. Both organizations keep each other at bay. | |

Humans Are Special | |

Humans Are Special: An interesting example considering the genre, but the humans are the only species that the mi-go discovered that has a "Epistemically Diploid" mind, that is, it's both rational and irrational, allowing to humans make guesses that do not fit a logical extrapolation from theoretical models, and often is that those irrational leaps of logics are correct, and this is utterly unnerving to the mi-go. Of course, considering the genre, this means that the mi-go will create a large network to brutally study and experiment humans including extracting their brains while they are kept alive. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: The Deep Ones. In the original sourcebook, it's noted that DG invested much of its efforts from its founding in the wake of Innsmouth until after World War II to hunting down Deep One colonies. As such, the vast majority of them have determined the surface world is now more trouble than it's worth, and only very isolated enclaves remain on the surface. The creators have alluded to this being the fate of the mi-go; they, through the Greys, stopped working with Majestic-12 around the turn of the millennium. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The Haida's Fish-Wife legend is a mutation of the facts of the 1555 raid on the Deep One hybrid village of Cha'atl. The people of Black Cod Island, descendants of the survivors of Cha'atl, claim not to know this story; to them, it is history, and a secret one at that. The Haida tribes do not know the true history of the Black Cod, but their elders remember tales of the Devil-Fish people. If the Agents talk seriously about half-men, half-fish people, one or two elders may become very grave, wondering if they have really been living near their ancestral enemy all this time. If confronted with proof of the Black Cod's dark origins, any Haida would recognise them instantly as descendants of the Fish-Wife. The highest-ranking members of the Sowers, a hyper-conservative Christian sect founded in the 21st century, believe they can absolve their sins by ritualistically murdering the demon Azazel, who comes back to die again as a scapegoat. Azazel's character description immediately deflates this, as he is really yet another mask of Nyarlathotep. Whether he appeared in the guise of Azazel throughout time, or if he's only started to manifest to manipulate the Sowers is left open. | |

Dreaming of Times Gone By: After flight Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 disappeared in the Pacific, some people started to have shared dreams inside the airplane; this led the creation of the internet forum "The Dream Syndicate", where people started to report and discuss similar dreams such as daily life of The Romanovs, images inside an underground city of the Great Race of Yith and what might a prehistoric (or post-historic!) woman getting attacked by a large predator. Some of the people who experienced Fight 370 dreams also dream of the aircraft's wreckage strewn about a great undersea city (presumably R'lyeh), where they hear unusual words they cannot remember when they wake. | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_e8b3ee16 | comment |
Ghostapo: The Karotechia is a special department in the Nazi Party answerable only to the Reichsführer-SS, founded by Heinrich Himmler to research and exploit the occult for military purposes. What remains of it is an elderly worshipper of Yog-Sothoth, an undead Mad Scientist Necromancer mixing the legacies of both Herbert West and Dr Muñoz from Cool Air, a humanitarian übermensch who gets immortality and invincibility in the bargain, and the "ascended" spirit of Adolf Hitler (at least, they think it's Hitler...) The real Hitler ordered the former Karotechia to summon Azathoth, in an attempted Taking You with Me against the entire world. The Genyosha, the Japanese counterpart of the Karotechia, is a mix between political party, secret society, and also an unofficial espionage arm of the Japanese military. | |

| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The semi-historical Yellow Emperor of China, also known as the Yellow Dragon, may refer to some antediluvian immanentisation of a Great Old One. The Genyosha is based on the real-life Black Ocean Society, Japanese secret society based on ultranationalism. In Delta Green they are an occultist organization that acts as the Japanese Empire's unofficial Ghostapo and had some encounters with Delta Green during WW2. The historical Skoptsi were a underground heretical Christian sect in the Russian Empire which preached self-castration in order to prevent sexual lust, reaching as many as 100,000 members in the early 20th century, but disappearing after heavy persecution from both Tsarist and Soviet governments. In Delta Green however, they are still active and actually worship Shub-Niggurath. | |

Kill and Replace | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_ece27800 | comment |
Kill and Replace: Unknown to everyone except perhaps Stephen Alzis, Robert Hubert is actually a former Karotechia member, SS-Hauptscharführer Dieter Scheel, who drowned and replaced the real Hubert in 1960. | |

The Illuminati | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_ed61457c | comment |
The Illuminati: The Cult of Transcendence is Delta Green's version of the Illuminati. A powerful conspiracy formed by wealthy and powerful individuals that worship Nyarlathotep and attempt to transform humanity into a proper mythos race by corrupting human society. Subverted in that historically, their attempts at running the world from the shadows failed miserably (described by one of the writers as being "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight"), and in the present they collapse under their own weight due to the leaders being utterly divorced from concern over humanity, and everyone else having severe Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. | |

The Starscream | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_eedee4d | comment |
The Starscream: Through the centuries, Antoinette DeMonte has strung her cousin Claudette along with assurances that she is her heir apparent, second in command and closest confidant. Claudette hasn't believed these assurances for over two centuries, and has been seeking to unseat Antoinette and gain control of the DeMonte Clan. If she ever discovers a member of Delta Green, she would offer to be their informant, directing them against Antoinette. Once the Marquise is out of the way, Claudette will step forward to assert her claim to the Clan's leadership. | |

Enemy Civil War | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_f52ae5d8 | comment |
Enemy Civil War: MAJESTIC's Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering is divided between two factions: One which seeks to maintain the Accord with the Greys, and another which seeks to expose the Grey's true intentions and end The Accord. The pro-Accord faction starts with a huge political power — due the Greys providing a report of every single weapon of pro-soviet forces, which basically won the Cold War for America, and also richer due to March Tech selling advanced Grey technology to the Military-Intelligence industry. When Delta Green strikes a series of successful operations against the mi-go and Majestic's operations, the Greys cease contact with MJ-12, NRO Delta commander Adolph Lepus, along with the pro-Accord faction attempts a coup against Director Justin Kroft (who is killed by Lepus), while a counter-coup is launched by the anti-Grey side led by Forrest James (AKA Agent DARREN) with support of Operation BLUE FLY and Delta Green, successfully taking over MAJESTIC-12 and using The War on Terror and NSA's influence to reestablish DELTA GREEN. The serpent-folk empire ended when they turned upon one another and perished in some self-generated apocalypse. Even today, they are as likely to kill each other as to kill humans. The Cult of Transcendence had the prerequisites for this: the Transcendent Masters are utterly disconnected from human affairs, the four Bishops (and their Acolytes) who control the four Sees are fighting among each other and engaged in "petty" empire building, and the four Sees themselves are formed by a patchwork of numerous sub-groups that have little in common. By 2012, after one of the Bishops mysteriously disappeared in a ritual of communion with Azathoth, the remaining ones are at each others throats. The cult eventually shatters, and the individual elements all scatter and become independent from the central leadership. | |

Vigilante Execution | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_f6698528 | comment |
During the Katrina hurricane, there were a lot of reports of gunfire shots in New Orleans after the levees broke. Much of those were agents part of Delta Green death squads sent to hunt down and execute Ghouls of the DeMonte clan. | |

Place Beyond Time | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_f9a8e95e | comment |
Place Beyond Time: The Construct, realm of the Great Race of Yith, is described as an edifice of trembling boulders, which contains all of spacetime inside it. All actions and processes are shifts and cracks in the Construct. All living things, civilisations, biomes, life and order, stars and planets, all objects in the observable universe, are merely expressions and changes in these 'stones'. | |

Secret Government Warehouse | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_fa4064bd | comment |
Secret Government Warehouse: The Green Boxes used by Delta Green are this, they can range from self-storage, warehouses, rental lockers to safe houses. The Green Box generator is an old tool based on this concept. Majestic-12 has a lot of those, dedicated to researching Grey technology, but they are usually within larger U.S Military, CIA, NSA, NRO and March Industries facilities. One of their facilities is located in Area 51 (Although not Area 51 itself). | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Army of the Third Eye are mostly crazed fanatics, but what they fight against is much worse. Delta Green itself can come off as this at times. Majestic-12 sees itself as this. They made the accord with the Greys because they were the only friendly alien species to contact mankind and see in them the only way that humanity can acquire enough technology to be ready to fight other more powerful species. Some parts of MJ-12's leadership massively distrust the Greys and seek to discover their true intentions. In the end, what certain elements of MJ-12 saw as a Motive Decay of the organization is what leads to Majestic's demise. | |

The Corrupter | |
| Delta Green (Tabletop Game) / int_fe6c146e | comment |
The Corrupter: Too many to count; between bog standard governmental malfeasance, the nihilistic decay of the Cthulhu Mythos, and the interplay of the two. Notably, The Labyrinth features four potential allies—and the player agents can serve as this for them, causing them all to slide into self-destruction by simply using them and the resources they offer. | |

Death Seeker: Chun-te Wu, aka Agent ANTON of the Outlaws' A-cell, is implied to have become this after the death of his wife and two daughters in a traffic accident. With Delta Green being the only meaningful thing left in his life, he has taken to joylessly chain-smoking unfiltered cigarettes. Once, when told that every cigarette was another nail in his coffin, Wu is alleged to have said, "That's the fucking point." | |
