The End of Everything | A Beginner DELTA GREEN Campaign

About the adventure

Players come to Delta Green for all kinds of reasons. They’re eager to solve a mystery, kill a villain, or destroy a monster. These outcomes are never simple. Sometimes even seeing the threat in a Delta Green operation is enough to annihilate a group of Agents. So consider this overview a warning. Delta Green is about fear. It may seem to be about other things from time to time. About manipulation. About power. About control. It has all these things, but that’s not what it’s about. It lies. Delta Green is about an agent, alone and off the record, breaking into an old woman’s house in Brooklyn because, for a split-second, she cast the shadow of a hunched, monstrous thing with jaws like a jackal. Delta Green is about two women who pulled off the heist of the Mayan Codex from the American Museum of Natural History—an operation six months in the planning—only to burn it in a pyre of gasoline and wood in an abandoned field, mourning their lost teammates who it drove to madness. Delta Green is about watching from the Blackhawk jumpseat as something bigger than the forest snatches your strike team’s helicopters from the air like flies. Delta Green is not about guns. Delta Green is not about a bug hunt. Delta Green is not about understanding. Delta Green is about the end. The end of everything. Your family, everyone you know, your country, all life on Earth. It’s about the end of everything and your place in it. Because you’ll end, too. That’s what the fear is about. That’s what the game is about. It’s not about winning and it’s not about advancement and it’s not about the best weapon or the most clever plan. Delta Green is about the end of everything—and how much of it you’ll live to see. Welcome. - Delta Green is a covert group inside the United States federal government. Its mission is to investigate, contain, and conceal unnatural events, because the unnatural is real and it kills. The world of Delta Green is like our own, but beyond the edges of reality are powers that outstrip the human mind’s capacity for understanding. Sometimes those powers bleed through into our world and destroy everything they touch. Agents of Delta Green have limited knowledge of these forces. A few know more. They suffer that knowledge like a cancer of the mind. Sometimes it’s better to know just enough to get the job done, and nothing more. That’s the first rule of Delta Green.
