Cold War Espionage Vs Eldritch Horrors

Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu | Campaign

About the adventure

Knowledge is Death; Innocence is a Luxury In 1968, in response to sinister influences that threatened to corrupt America from within and without, the Federal Government established a new agency — one that quickly acquired a reputation for ambitious operations overseas, for covert action, and for doing what had to be done, no matter the cost. This new agency was the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, the BNDD. And within it — the forces of DELTA GREEN. Delta Green is a conspiracy hidden deep behind the institutions of the American Government, a secret alliance whose sole purpose is to protect its people from forces beyond understanding. Your job as a DG Agent is too uncover the threat, put it down, and erase any evidence of its existence. It's a thankless job wrought with unimaginable and mind-shattering danger. But someone must do it. Even if every victory only serves to stave off the inevitable for one more day. Someone must stand between humanity and the terrors beyond. That someone is Delta Green. That someone is you. The Borellus Connection takes you from South East Asia, across Europe and back to America in a race to eradicate the schemes of a necromantic cult. It blends assassination, surveillance, and covert operations with ancient archaeologies, modern revolution and eldritch horror. Inspired by films like The French Connection, Munich, and The Ninth Gate.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
