Delta Green | Control Group | (Play-by-Post) (PbP)
Delta Green | Campaign
About the adventure
Born of the U.S. government’s 1928 raid on the degenerate coastal town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, the covert agency known as Delta Green opposes the forces of darkness with honor but without glory. Delta Green agents fight to save humanity from unnatural horrors—often at a shattering personal cost. Control Group is a collection of mysteries formed into a centralized campaign for Delta Green published by Arc Dream Publishing The campaign begins in 2010 and each mystery will be a 1 year time jump between them. There's 4 mysteries total. Delta Green traditionally plays like an episode of X-Files where you will get a mission that's strange or unusual and the team will go out and solve it. You will play as an agent of Delta Green with a normal life outside of it. Delta Green Gameplay: Delta Green is a d100 roll under game. Stats that are 70 or higher have a passive bonus that will allow them additional context without a roll. Any doubles are considered critical success or failures. Example: roll 55 with a stat of 60 is a critical success. Roll a 55 with a stat of 50 is a critical failure.
How this game works as a PbP: As a new player joining this campaign, you receive a personalized prologue, tailored to your character’s backstory and motivations. These prologues are designed to weave you seamlessly into the ongoing narrative, ensuring your entry feels natural, impactful, and uniquely yours. This game charges weekly, it does not start or stop at a specific time. You play when you're available. To put it another way: This game is always on. If you're busy with work that's okay! You can pop into chat later and catch up. If you're really available you can pop in and roleplay! (Note: I run Multi-game discounts: For every game of mine you join I reduce the cost of all games you're in.)

How to prepare
You don't need anything but discord! I'd think about your characters background and what their relationships are more so than how the game works.
What I provide
You only need Discord. I will provide everything else. I enjoy playing within the characters individual stories and digging into their backgrounds, what makes them tick. The beauty of PbP means we can explore some of those more personal moments without feeling like we're interrupting or taking over the session. I enjoy playing into horror elements and the atmosphere.
Gameplay details
We will do aftercare and there will be content warnings throughout, but please note that Delta Green is a dark-themed horror game. There are a lot of themes and descriptions of themes that may be uncomfortable for some. Please use your best judgement, and we'll do proper consent checklists before we begin. That said, I will do my best to ensure proper aftercare and ensure that any subject matter I think may cross a line will be warned of before hand.

How will character creation work
We'll make characters before session 0 and talk about how the game will go. There are pre-gens available if you prefer, but making a character in Delta Green is relatively straight forward. I'll provide everything you need so that we can jump in right away.
