Backerkit surveys 11/30
over 8 years ago

Shane Ivey here from Arc Dream. I've been working closely with the folks at Backerkit to set up our program and make it as bulletproof as possible. It's a big, complex project with a lot of variables and moving parts, so that's been a lot of work. It looks like it's perfect now -- but the day after tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and Backerkit's staff will not be available. Rather than launch now and possibly run into snags that we can't fix for days, we will hold off another few days and launch Monday, November 30, when everyone's back at work. Then if we run into trouble we can address it quickly.
In the meantime, we're hard at work on the game and its sourcebooks and adventures. We're doing one last round of tightening up and revising in the core Agent's Handbook rules. We're almost done with the second draft of the "Agencies" chapter, which describes the government agencies that Delta Green agents most frequently call home. Each one gets a few pages describing its structure and culture, its agents' likely role in Delta Green operations, suggestions for playing that kind of character convincingly, and starting professional skills. This material is being vetted by real-world experts, people who do these jobs for a living, to make sure we get it right.
We're in the middle of playtesting "The Star Chamber" now and we're prepping "Observer Effect" and "Wormwood Arena" for playtesting next. Playtesting is done for "Kali Ghati," as is its editing and most of its art, so we'll release it very soon.
Thank you for supporting Delta Green!

EARLY GREY transcript now online
over 8 years ago
– Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 09:37:23 PM
As our thanks for everyone's help getting the word out about Delta Green, we have posted a rare find: A transcript of "EARL GREY," a Delta Green scenario run by Adam Scott Glancy in 1997 in an AOL chatroom. "EARL GREY" dealt with PISCES and the Army of the Third Eye, which would appear in 1999's Delta Green: Countdown and will be featured in 2016's Delta Green: PISCES.
"Making contact with PISCES or its progenitors could be the most important mission in our group’s history. Your mission is to use the investigation of the Army of the Third Eye as a starting point for making contact with PISCES. The trick here is to make contact with PISCES while maintaining our group’s secrecy at the same time. If it still exits, PISCES undoubtedly safeguards its anonymity as jealously as we do. It may use deadly force to protect its secrecy, shooting first and asking questions later. No one said this job was easy."
Playtesters needed for "The Star Chamber"

Dear backers,
We need volunteers to playtest "The Star Chamber," Greg Stolze's new scenario for Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game. The playtest will begin Monday, 9 NOV 2015. Reports are due Friday, 11 DEC 2015. The scenario usually takes one three- or four-hour game session to finish.
In "The Star Chamber," a team of Delta Green agents has fouled up badly. It's up to your players to find out what happened — by taking the roles of the other agents in the conflicting reports they give of a mission that went wrong.
"The Star Chamber" is written for a modern-day cell in the old conspiracy, with Agents who refused to join the reactivated Delta Green program or were never invited in. It's ideal for a team of agents who already have a mission or two behind them, or at least for players who have played enough Delta Green games to fake it.
If you're interested, please click here to read the requirements carefully and enter your contact information:
The apocalypse is here
over 8 years ago

It's an interesting word, "apocalypse." It evolved from Greek, apokaluptein: to uncover, to reveal. The apocalypse is merely our perception of an ending that's already begun. It began before the accident of humanity, before the first Old Ones seeped down from the stars. It encompasses them, too, in all their power and inconceivable age. Do we jumped-up monkeys really have the hubris to stand in its way?
Delta Green does. That's the mission. That'll always be the mission. One fucking hopeless act of hubris at a time.
Two thousand, five hundred and thirty-three backers have funded Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game and a long line of sourcebooks, adventures, and downloads.
This project has been an astounding success. It allows us to do work that we've only been dreaming about.
To all our backers and everyone who's been championing Delta Green all these years, thank you!
Special thanks to our friend Ross Payton, who stepped in early to help us keep open lines of communication with backers and who has been a tireless friend of Delta Green and Arc Dream Publishing. You owe it to yourself to follow his podcasts at Role Playing Public Radio ("Delta Green: God's Teeth" episode 3 is online now) and to support RPPR at Patreon for exclusive episodes and more awesomeness.
