Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game

Created by Arc Dream Publishing

Lovecraftian cosmic terror meets the War on Terror. The award-winning RPG setting comes thundering back in a new Cthulhu Mythos game.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Production director Chris Spivey stares into the horrors of Delta Green scheduling
6 months ago – Wed, Sep 24, 2025 at 12:12:26 PM

(Cross-posted to Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game, Delta Green: The Labyrinth, and Delta Green: The Conspiracy. Apologies to those of you getting this update multiple times.)

The Delta Green team has always worked at its own idiosynchratic pace. We carve away at works until they're worth releasing. Flagrantly rejecting the concept of deadlines allows us the freedom to create works of which we are truly proud. It also allows for distractions and oh I dunno, let's call it inefficiency in our production process. 

We've taken a long-needed step to get those inefficiencies under control.

Chris Spivey has had to look professional for other jobs. He'll be as scruffy and deranged as the rest of us soon enough.

Arc Dream Publishing, DG's publisher, has hired Chris Spivey as production director. Read the full announcement at arcdream.com. 

Chris is taking on the incredibly complex task of wrangling the team's schedules and workloads. That vital work has always been in my hands. (Shane Ivey here, of Arc Dream Publishing and the Delta Green Partnership.) But since I do a ton of other jobs at the same time, it's often gotten low priority. Not anymore. Chris comes to us from a long career managing far more complex organizations and programs than ours. And he's a brilliant, award-winning game author and publisher in his own right. He knows what's what. 

What does this mean for the dozens of Delta Green products already in the works? 

First, we're STILL not going to give you hard and fast release dates. If we get to 95% on a project and the author has a stroke of genius, back to the author it goes. 

But we can give Very Rough Anticipated Dates (But Don't Hold Us to Them, You've Been Warned) based on where things are at the moment. 

Almost every damn one of these is already far, far along. Can we hit these dates? We'll rely on Chris's skills to keep people focused enough to try.

EXPECTED(ISH) LATE 2025

EXPECTED(ISH) EARLY–MID 2026

EXPECTED(ISH) 2027

And by that time we'll be hip deep in the dozen or so other DG books that the four of us already have in the works. But those ought to take a back seat to current KS rewards. At least that's what Chris says.

And in the meantime Chris will help us organize The Black Company Roleplaying Game and a few projects that need a leader but don't need heavy lifting by the already-spoken-for DG team. We'll see how those take shape soon.

IN THE FOLDS & SHADOWS OF TIME

A new printing of the Delta Green Handler's Screen is available. It features many revisions and corrections on the Handler's side of the screen. A wraparound cover for retail display holds a bleak bit of fiction inside.

And for Delta-Green.com subscribers in the last few weeks:

Thank you so much for your ongoing support of Delta Green. Backers like you make it possible for us to delve into the sticky rececesses of our minds and extract what we find, stare at it, taste it, sculpt it, shape it, and offer it to the world with eyes haunted and pleading. What would we do without you?

Years of Delta Green bundled, all our works for the seizing, a shaky congeries ready to dissolve and die
11 months ago – Mon, Apr 14, 2025 at 09:24:02 AM

Four days. How often can you count the exact days til the death of something wonderful? 

Humble Bundle is hosting an ultimate collection from Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game. Nearly all we've created over the last 10 years. The work that your support allowed us to create. 

Share it with your friends. Show them what you did. Ask them to accept you anyway.

In four days, the Delta Green Humble Bundle dissolves in a final expiration. 

 ▲ DGRPG core rulebooks
 ▲ "Need to Know," the quickstart
 ▲ 20 books of resources & scenarios
 ▲ GM screen
 ▲ 7 graphics packs
 ▲ 18 VTT adaptations
 ▲ 8 books of fiction, including the astonishingly annotated King in Yellow
 ▲ The disturbing King in Yellow tarot deck

That's a $681 value for $25. Years of work. Years of our lives. Here for anyone to hold as cheap as the glaring sun, as the brooding moon, as the stars staring coldly, as the hungry void of the cosmos, as the air and blood of life. For 4 days.

Beneath what we can know lurk undying enormities. Their heedless twitches and hungers mean easy extinction for a creature with a feebler grip on life. A creature like humanity. 

Delta Green fights to hold that inevitability at bay for another few years. Its Agents struggle and overcome and despair and die. Delta Green always needs new Agents. Help us find them.

God’s Eye reveals new terrors; last chance to vote God’s Teeth at the ENnies
over 1 year ago – Sat, Jul 20, 2024 at 11:40:01 AM

Cross-posted to Delta Green: The Labyrinth, Delta Green: The Conspiracy, and Delta-Green.com.

Delta Green: God’s Teeth has been nominated for the ENnie Award for Best Longform Adventure. Vote for it at vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2024! 

Author Caleb Stokes put years of blood and toil into this massive work. We think he deserves every accolade it can get. Voting ends this weekend.

Why squander the gifts and glories of the Nameless God? Vote now.

And now that you’re in the mood, a new God’s Teeth spinoff is available in paperback and in PDF: God’s Eye. 

Revelations of the Spiralling have just begun.

God’s Eye is the first of four scenarios that let the Handler explore the spiralling years of 2016 to 2020, when the Agents have emerged from a terrible awakening of power and purpose. There was not space for them in God's Teeth. But you can make space for them in your Agents' lives and deaths. It can also be played with no reference to God’s Teeth at all, with ordinary Agents in all their blithe contentment. 

Delta Green: God’s Eye sees the Agents in Reno, pursuing gruesome, ritualistic deaths. Deaths that seem related to a small company with an outsize role in the stratospheric growth of government surveillance in America. A company that Delta Green finds worth protecting.

God's Eye was not funded at Kickstarter, so it is not included in KS rewards. You can order God's Eye in print at shop.arcdream.com or in PDF at drivethrurpg.com. It is shipping now. 

Caleb ran an early version of God’s Eye in the Role-Playing Public Radio series where God’s Teeth first irrupted. How might its all-seeing, all-encompassing terrors have evolved across the spiralling years? Order it and see.

Breathe. Just breathe. It will be all right.

Scenarios to follow God’s Eye over the next few months include God’s Breath, God’s Law, and God’s Light. We will collect them in a hardback, God’s Hunt, expected in mid-2025. 

Pre-order God’s Hunt at shop.arcdream.com or at backerkit.com. If you are outside the U.S., the BackerKit link may offer a better shipping rate.

A God’s Hunt pre-order includes PDFs of the individual scenarios that comprise it as they come out—Eye, Breath, Law, and Light—and then the PDF for God’s Hunt proper when it is released. If you have any trouble with a God's Hunt download, email [email protected] with proof of purchase to get a link.

Babushka knows when naughty children fail to vote.

Remember to vote for God’s Teeth in the ENnies. Our predatory cosmos allows precious few chances to rouse a warm and lingering glow of accomplishment, of shared achievement. Seize this chance while you can.

Death Drops Unexpectedly On Us All
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jul 11, 2024 at 12:36:31 PM

Your support for our projects at Kickstarter has over the last few years awakened Delta Green from a long, uneasy torpor and brought it shambling in lively awfulness to uncounted, unwitting imaginations around the world. We thank you. What's more, we reward you. Every Kickstarter backer of every Delta Green project today receives at no cost the complete PDF of our latest scenario collection, Dead Drops. Look for it soon in your Digital Downloads at BackerKit. 

Outsiders can buy Dead Drops in PDF at DriveThruRPG.

Dead Drops will be released in hardback around November 2024. Since Dead Drops is a bonus, not part of our planned rewards, its hardback is available as a separate order. You or anyone can pre-order the hardback at shop.arcdream.com. 

Dead Drops includes:

  • Meridian
  • A Victim of the Art
  • From the Dust
  • Presence
  • Jack Frost
  • Federal Agencies: Air Force Office of Special Investigations
