About the adventure
You were among the best: spies, soldiers, hackers, thieves. Then you learned the truth. A hidden conspiracy controls governments, corporations, and criminal networks—and its masters are not human. Now you are burned, hunted, and dangerously alone. In this cinematic espionage-horror campaign, you’ll become a team of elite operatives following a stolen intelligence file from a violent extraction in Marrakesh into a century-old web of secrets. Expect globe-trotting investigations, tense tradecraft, desperate chases, brutal confrontations, and the creeping realization that every ally may be compromised. Manage the trauma of repeated exposure to violence and helplessness, as your mission takes its toll on your bonds with friends and family. How much are you willing to sacrifice to save the world? This adventure combines the propulsive action of Jason Bourne and Mission: Impossible with the paranoia and supernatural dread of Bram Stoker's Dracula and traditional Call of Cthulhu-style horror. This game is great for anyone! You don't need any prior experience with this system or any TTRPG. If you've seen special agents and spies in the movies and TV, then you are ready to play. Bring curiosity, teamwork, and an appetite for dangerous choices. The conspiracy has money, influence, and immortality. You have your skills, your contacts, your sanity (for now), and your teammates. Let the hunt begin!

About me
Hey there! I'm Gamersaurus Lex, a longtime player and GM who owned a local game store for about a decade. I am a happy-go-lucky extrovert that spent the last decade of his life running a FLGS and professionally nerding out with gamers of every age and disposition. I love running games with lots of excitement, fully realized NPCs, and a true open sandbox approach, even when we're running an established module. You want to ignore the module's storyline and chart your own course? I will make it happen! Prefer to play in one of my homebrew campaigns set in the Moonsea Region of the Forgotten Realms? Buckle up, you're in for a wild ride! I have decades of experience introducing new players to the hobby, at my game store, conventions, and at my home table, so you couldn't be in better hands if you're just starting out with TTRPGs or if you're switching systems. I have been a pro GM for about 20 years, and only recently started offering my services online with StartPlaying. Veterans will enjoy my games, too, especially with all the Easter eggs that pop up in every session. I tend to run D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, and Starfinder these days, but I have plenty of recent experience with 3.x, Savage Worlds, GURPS, and the many varieties of the Cypher System. And, let's be honest, given time to prepare, I can run any system if there is a group that really wants that system.

Creating your character
You can create a character (or more than one!) before the session zero if you like, but bring it to the table prepared to make some adjustments depending on decisions we all make together. The Handler will provide pre-generated characters for folks who just like to show up and play or for people who like to tweak an existing concept rather than starting from scratch. Your character should be someone new to Delta Green (first or second mission) or even a friendly who hasn't yet been recruited. That said, there may be room on the team for one grizzled veteran. The Handler will provide access to the Agents Handbook, so you don't have to own any of the books to play or make a character.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Join my Discord Server and choose The Dracula Dossier when asked to assign a role to yourself: https://discord.gg/MD37yW6xCH The Discord server will contain all of the PDFs and other material we need to prepare for our sesison zero.
What Gamersaurus Lex brings to the table
I will provide all of the rules for the game, all of the art, maps, music, and, of course, a compelling and engaging supernatural spy-horror story for us to explore. This campaign will focus heavily on investigation and espionage (hopefully that should be obvious) but the vibe is a combination of Jason Bourne, Bram Stoker, and H.P. Lovecraft. I will provide scenes where the main goal is to discover clues needed to move to the next scene. But those clues will often lead to a dangerous encounter. At the same time, dangerous encounters are sometimes the only way to learn the clues necessary to uncover more of the conspiracy. The gameplay loop will alternate between investigative scenes (using spycraft, interrogation, hacking, etc.) and thrilling/dangerous encounters (chases, combats, etc.).
