Delta Green: God's Teeth

Creating your character

Before character creation, I will work with the group to decide who will play the single existing Delta Green Agent and who will begin as Friendlies. The Agent has prior experience with the conspiracy. The Friendlies have assisted with unusual investigations but have no confirmed knowledge of Delta Green or the unnatural. This distinction does not make one character the leader. The campaign offers two character creation options: 1. Choose from a selection of pregenerated characters, including options for both the existing Agent and the Friendlies. Each comes with a profession, statistics, and skills, while their motivations, Bonds, personality, and backstory remain yours to create. 2. Create a character using the Agent's Handbook or free Need to Know quickstart rules. I will help with professions, statistics, skills, motivations, Bonds, and backstory, as well as fitting the character into either the Agent or Friendly role. The team is assembled through circumstance rather than perfect tactical balance, so a wide range of professions can work. Character creation can be handled through Discord before Session 1 or completed together during Session 0, depending on the group's preference. Both options will establish group dynamics, campaign themes, character boundaries, and tone; review the content and safety tools; introduce the character sheets and Foundry interface; and give everyone time to get acquainted before play begins.

Preparing for the session

To keep onboarding smooth and get into play without delay, review the information below. Doing so ahead of time will help reduce technical friction once we begin. What we are using • Foundry: the virtual tabletop where the game takes place • Discord: https://discord.gg/pw262FFCFy Preparation Steps You will receive a direct invitation link to the Foundry game. Open the link in a browser. No account is required. A password will be provided. If you are unfamiliar with Foundry, review the basics here: https://foundryvtt.com/article/player-orientation/ Optional, but useful • Use Chrome or Firefox for best performance • Headphones recommended • Join Discord before the session to confirm audio works Once inside Foundry, you will only need to access your character sheet, roll when prompted, and follow along. Everything else will be handled in the session.

What Dan brings to the table

// BRIEFING Players will receive a fully prepared Foundry table with character sheets, organized reference journals, briefing documents, handouts, relevant rules material, ambient music, sound effects, and in-world recordings. The Agent's Handbook will be available during play, and no previous knowledge of Delta Green is required. My GM style emphasizes investigation, character decisions, assumed character competence in their skills, and clear consequences. I use NPC voices and roleplay to distinguish characters. I give the group room to discuss plans, follow leads, and make mistakes while stepping in with guidance when needed. Combat is fast, dangerous, and grounded rather than designed as a balanced tactical encounter. Creative approaches are encouraged, but the rules and established fiction still matter. When a rule is unclear, I will make a fair ruling at the table, keep the game moving, and review it after the session if necessary.

Homebrew rules

I run Delta Green largely by the rules as written and use no standing homebrew rules. I may make situational rulings when the rules don't cover an unusual circumstance or when a creative, plausible approach deserves an advantage. These rulings will prioritize consistency, fairness, and keeping the game moving. I will explain any campaign-specific rule changes before using them.

How Dan creates a safe table

God's Teeth is intense, even by Delta Green standards. It directly deals with violence, abuse, and exploitation involving children and other vulnerable people. These subjects recur throughout the campaign and cannot be removed without turning it into a different game. If this material is a firm line for you, this is not the right campaign. Before play, everyone will receive a clear, spoiler-free overview of the content. During Session 0, we will discuss Lines and Veils, levels of description, personal boundaries, and how each player prefers to communicate discomfort. Boundaries can change at any time. During play, you can speak up, message me privately, or use the Foundry Table Safety module to pause, stop, or move past content. No explanation is required. We can reduce the level of detail, move a scene offscreen, take a break, or skip ahead. These tools cannot remove the campaign's central themes. If a boundary conflicts with the campaign itself, we will pause and discuss privately whether this is still the right table for you. After each session, there will be time to decompress, talk about the session, and step out of character. I will check in after especially difficult material, and you can contact me privately between sessions. The horror stays in the fiction. We treat one another with respect.
