Road RageFor some time I had an idea floating around in my head for a card-based game

where tiles or cards were laid out as the game progressed to form a road or

course where cars or some sort of racing vehicles would move. This idea

became the Road Rage system.While the game pays a lot of homage to Car Wars, it plays quite differently. Players first build

their car and driver and then play road cards from their hand to alter the roadway where the car

battle is waged. As the game progresses, the road expands as new cards are laid down and old

cards are taken away. The system itself is fairly simple and fast to play.

I used a lot of art by Tamas Baranya for two reasons. First, he already has a lot of stuff out ther

for use with this sort of game, and second, because I really like his work.

Road Rage has been very popular and requests have come in for arenas and pedestrians, so we

might add those on in the future. I also have an idea for a futuristic, sci-fi version using grav ca

and a laser beam track-like setting.

We have some new

road cards for you

in the free section

so have fun.

Coral Throne

Interlude X

Tommus stood on the stone pier looking out into the citys harbor. He was alone here, all the others under his comm

eeing to some duty or another. He though had little to do, just stand here and wait. He looked across the harbor uphe palace sitting above the city, could feel the power raising up there, knew that Julia, Lessiter and the others had ca

heir spell. He watched as the bolt of multicolored lights shot out of the place, and thought it odd that it could carry

much power.

Something went wrong, he said to himself.

As he stood there the waters in the harbor began to pull away, leaving a line on the stone pier where they normally

would lap. Tommus knew now something was terribly wrong. His siblings had cast more energy into the spell then

or they had expected. Tommus turned and ran for his horse, mounting in a swift leap. He gave orders to those stand

bout too be ready for a rush of water into the harbor and then spurred his horse thought the city streets, racing to rea

he palace. He looked back over his shoulder one last time to see the harbor almost drained of water, it all being pulway by the great spells effect.

Rupert Cornelius Hellstrom, known to the

world as Professor Bug, was once a

well-respected entomologist. Rupert never gotalong well with humans; he was introverted and

more than a little strange. Insects he could

relate to. He made the study of insects his lifes

work, and dedicated his considerable intellect

to the field of entomology.

Unfortunately the entomology department at

the University where he worked had its budget

severely cut, and Rupert was denied the tenure

he had been counting on. Most of his research

projects were defunded, decimating his lifes

work. Rupert watched as his entire life

crumbled all around him, once again before of

the inability of humans to understand the

majesty and power of the insect. He suffered a

severe psychotic break and was never the same.

He robbed several laboratories within the

University campus and then disappeared.

By the time anyone heard from Rupert

Hellstrom again, he was calling himself

Professor Bug and had completely succumbed

to his madness. He now planned to wipe

humanity off the face of the Earth to make

room for the inevitable Age of the Insect.

Professor BugCowardly and nonathletic, Professor Bug prefers

to usher in the Age of the Insect from the safety of

his lair bypiloting giant remote control insect robots.

Professor Bug has been less than successful in his

quest so far. His robot insects are constantly

destroyed by superheroes, almost for sport, and all

of his attempts to breed a super-insect that could

outcompete humanity have ended in annoyance

rather than death. Although it might be tempting

to see Professor Bug as something of a comical

figure, he only needs to succeed once to prove just

how dangerous he really is.

Hero Adventure Seeds

Professor Insect Neologisms Professor Bug has invented an Insectification Ray, which turns humans

into strange human/insect hybrids. He has used the ray to make himself a number of henchmen and

now plans to hijack a space launch for a satellite so he can use the ray against the whole world at once.

The PCs will have to track Professor Bug and stop him, as well as find a way to cure the victims of his

Insectification Ray.

More Robots Professor Bug has acquired an alien machine which can create perfect duplicates of

anything. Somewhat lacking in imagination, the use Professor Bug puts this machine to is duplicating

robot insects. He now has a veritable army of the robots, and hundreds of them guard his lair. The PCs

will have to breach the robot army and get to the machine quickly because there are many organizations

that could put such technology to much more sinister uses. These organizations will also have agents

looking to get through to the device.

Villain Adventure Seeds

Fair Trade Professor Bug has recently lost a large number of bug robots to superheroes, and needs

raw materials. Lacking any more robots to commit robberies to get these materials, hes in a jam.

Professor Bug offers to build robot minions for the PCs if theyre willing to steal the materials for both

them and for the Professors new bugbots. The PCs may not completely trust Professor Bug, and theyd

be smart not to. He plans to program backdoors into the PCs robots so he can take control of them at

any time. How quickly the PCs figure this out will dictate whether theres anything they can do about

it.

This Towns Only Big Enough For One Madman The PCs discover a plot of Professor Bugs to

release hundreds of thousands of genetically modified horseflies in a major metropolis as part of his

larger goal of retaking Earth for the insects. He has picked a very inconvenient time to do so, because

its the same day that the PCs have planned a major caper of some kind in that city, one that would be

ruined by a bugpocalypse. The PCs and Professor Bug will have to engage in a secret war of sabotage

to determine who has the right to attack the city.

The Power Behind

the SenateServants of Gaius Scenario

his is a brief scenario for any Servants of Gaius campaign. Ideally the Player Characters will have proved themselve

ustworthy before being assigned this mission. The precise details of the scenario are left for the Gamemaster to cust

ize to his campaign but we detail two key NPCs here and explain the political context of a troubling murder myster

ackground

new movement is gaining strength in the senate, a revitalized effort to restore the republic. Normally no one would

ake such an attempt, but recently a senator named Gnaeus Servilius Vatia has made the right connections to keep hi

lf safe while making attacks on the emperor. A former consul, Gnaeus wraps his criticisms in compassion, calling

aligula their ailing princep who needs help, not power. His allies include high ranking members of the Praetorian

uard, well positioned legates (including Gaetulicus and Lucius Apronius), and large swaths of the urban cohort. How

ver, despite his increasing influence, Gnaeus is a mere puppet with little will of his own. In reality he is guided by hi

ife, Justina, the true mind behind the new republicans.

ut the republicans are opposed by another wing in senate still loyal to Caligula. This wing is led by Tiberius Fabius

orso, a scholarly senator with close ties to Macro, the Praetorian Prefect. This faction is called aurea patres (the gol

thers) but Gnaeus derides the group, calling them the Golden Boys. Recently Macro was replaced by an Impersonat

age 80 of the Servants of Gaius rulebook) and has been encouraging Tiberius to make peace with Gnaeus. Reluctan

e leader of the aurea patres has agreed to meet his political foe.

!


13/52

Macro's Betrayal

What Tiberius fails to realize is Macro intends to betray

the emperor and his first move will be to sacrifice him as a

pawn in a political game. When it looks like the two sides

have reached an agreement, Macro plans to assassinate

Tiberius. By arranging for the murder to appear as an

mperial order, he hopes to drive up support for the

republicans and instigate a civil war. Whether this

succeeds or not will depend on if the Servi Gaii can stop

Macro before he makes his move.

The Murders

But Macro has accounted for the Servi Gaii as well.

Because he is the Custos of the organization, and therefore

entitled to know all active members, he arranges for the

murder of all Servi Gaii inside Rome. In the three weeks

eading up to the assassination of Tiberius Fabius Dorso,

he has one Servi Gaii killed each day. For this he also

relies on Pulcher and his men's service.

After the first three murders, Pallas (Claudius' freedman)

summons the PCs and tells them the organization has been

compromised and that they must investigate the murders to

find its source.

The Investigation

The exact details of the investigation are up to the GM.

But the first three senators are murdered in broad daylight

n: The Baths of Agrippa, the streets of the Subura, and the

Tabularium (a government records office on Capitoline

Hill). Investigating these murders is likely to turn up clues

that lead to Pulcher's men in the Subura. Once they

dentify Pulcher as the source of the assassination, the PCs

will need to connect him to Macro. Keep in mind that

Pulcher and his gang are a powerful force in the Subura

and likely to retaliate against the player characters if

nvestigated.

The Political Consequences

Depending on how things play out, Gnaeus will likely

ntroduce increasingly antagonistic motions toward the

emperor. These will initially be designed to whittle away at

the princep's powers and giving them to the senate. Players

who are part of the senate could well be involved in the

ntrigue and debate at the curia. Again, the specific details

are up to the GM, but Gnaeus is in a strong position and

could call on the legions stationed in Germania Superior

and Inferior if he needs to make a blatant move against the

emperor.

Keep in mind, Justina's ultimate aim is to make her

husband the emperor (or dictator if need be). So she will

ensure the loyalty to Gaetulicus and Apronius to her

husband and work other senators to propose grantingGnaeus temporary powers to help restore the Republic.

Gnaeus is a key figure in the Roman Senate. He

believes in the republic and has some vague

admiration for Romans like Cato and Brutus. Butthe real inspiration in his life is Justina, his wife. A

sophisticated and intelligent woman, she has steere

his career from the beginning. Though he has

always had republican sentiments, like many othe

it was Justina who pressed him to put his thoughts

into action, to arrange things so he could articulate

vision of a restored republic without fear of

execution.

Justina identified other important senators who were

well positioned to criticize Caligula (because of

relationships with legates, royal family members,

etc). She even crafted the soft approach he takes in

attacking the emperor. With her help he has amassed

a following of 100 senators who support his will.

Justina is the wife of Senator Gnaeus Servilius

Vatia. She is the mastermind behind his efforts torestore the republic and is nearly unmatched in

Rome for her cunning and ruthlessness. Justina

understands how people think, what they want, and

who they fear. She brought her husband to power by

convincing him to ally with senators who have

powerful connections. In this way she has insulated

Gnaeus so Caligula cannot arrest or execute him

without risking mutiny in his legions and cohorts.

She has also encouraged him to amplify his power

by pushing for key appointments. Perhaps most

recently he ensured that Gaetilicus became legate ofGermania Superior. When she feels all the pieces are

place, Justina will instruct her husband to restore the

republic by force if necessary.

Of course, Justina has no interest in going back to

the republic. She knows it is a fool's dream and will

ust result in civil war. But she has thought several

steps ahead and plans for her husband to start a new

mperial dynasty. She will use whatever means she

can to eliminate threats to her position, including

arranging for the murder of her husband's enemies.

!Marks Musings

by Mark L. Chance of Spes Magna Games

The Art of Horsemanship

Everywhere they existed in all times down to the

20th century, horse-mounted cavalry commanded

fear and respect on the battlefield. The war horse

was no mere mode of transportation. It was aweapon of immense power, especially against a

foot soldier, who faced not only the war-trained

rider but also one-half ton of war-trained beast. No

man could easily withstand the 2,000-or-so pounds

per square inch of force exerted by a warhorse's

hoof.

Choosing a War Horse

There are three types of horses readily available to

PCs: ponies, light horses, and heavy horses. All

three can be trained for combat via Handle Animal,but here we encounter a bit of rules strangeness. A

pony trained for combat has the advanced simple

template applied to its statistics. A heavy horse is a

light horse with the advanced simple template and

trained for combat. So what does that make a light

horse trained for combat?

Apparently, it just makes it a light horse with

combat training. Ponies and heavy horses have the

advanced simple template, the former by virtue of

combat training it seems, but light horses receiveno template adjustments. This bugs me, so here's

what I recommend:

Ponies: A normal pony (one with no combat

training) retains its standard game stats. One

suitable for combat training has the advanced

simple template. An untrained, war-suitable pony

costs 35 gp. Once combat trained, this animal is a

war pony.

Light Horses: A normal light horse (again, one withno combat training) also retains its standard game

stats except for speed, which increases to 60 feet.

One suitable for combat training also has the

advanced simple template. An untrained,

war-suitable light horse costs 95 gp. Once combat

trained, this animal is a light warhorse.

Heavy Horses: A normal heavy horse has the st

the basic light horse, but with these modifiers: Dexterity and its hooves do 1d6 points of dama

heavy horse suitable for combat training has th

advanced simple template. An untrained, war-

suitable heavy horse costs 250 gp. Once comba

trained, this beast is a heavy warhorse.

Regardless of type, all light and heavy warhors

attack with two hooves and a bite. A light warh

bite inflicts 1d3 points of damage plus Strength

modifier. All of a war pony's or warhorse's attac

are primary attacks.

All three types of steeds can be purchased as m

stallions, or geldings. Two out of three times, th

choice has minor effects on the mount's abilitie

once it is combat trained.

Mares: The female steed tends to be bold but

sensitive and patient. If not handled with these

traits, mares can become stubborn or even unru

Mares receive a +1 bonus to Will saves. If not

well-tended, mares begin to balk. Increase HanAnimal and Ride DCs by +4 until the mare has

assauged.

Stallions: The male, in contrast, behaves more

recklessly and with greater loyalty. Stallions re

a +1 bonus to initiative. They do not easily acce

new master. Should a stallion lose its master, it

be retrained to accept its new master. Until retr

it will resist being ridden or commanded. Incre

Handle Animal and Ride DCs by +4, and the st

may resort to violence to be left alone.


21/52

!Geldings: These castrated males are less aggressive

and reckless than stallions, but lack the sensitive

nature of mares. Most geldings have some flaw

(although not one that needs affect its stats);

otherwise, its owner would surely have used it for

breeding. Geldings have no special advantages, but

they suffer no disadvantages.

Combat Training

Horses are intelligent animals, and they can learn upto six tricks. The core rules tell us this about combat

training:

"Combat Training (DC 20): An animal trained to

bear a rider into combat knows the tricks attack,

come, defend, down, guard, and heel. Training an

animal for combat riding takes 6 weeks. You may

also 'upgrade' an animal trained for riding to one

trained for combat by spending 3 weeks and making

a successful DC 20 Handle Animal check. The new

general purpose and tricks completely replace theanimal's previous purpose and any tricks it once

knew. Many horses and riding dogs are trained in

this way."

The Arts of Dressage

This basic combat training package is all fine and

dandy, but it does not capture how truly amazing was

a well-trained warhorse. The arts of dressage, or airs

above the ground, enable horses to perform

remarkable feats that are the metaphorical equivalent

of a bowl full of bodacity swimming in awesomesauce.

A warhorse's or warpony's rider can further train his

mount to perform special combat actions associated

with the arts of dressage. These combat action are

not tricks per se, and they do not count against the

maximum number of tricks a horse or pony may

learn. In order to teach these combat maneuvers,

however, the rider must himself be trained, which is

accomplished by selecting this feat:

Arts of Dressage (Combat)

You are trained in the arts of dressage, and you can

train your warhorse or warpony to use special

combat actions.

Prerequisites: Mounted Combat, Handle Animal 1

rank, Ride 1 rank.

Benefit: You can teach your warhorse or warpony to

use the special combat actions associated with the

arts of dressage, specifically the levade, the capriole,

the courbette, the croupade, and the ballotade.

Training a Mount in Airs Above the Ground

After selecting Arts of Dressage but before a

warhorse or warpony can use any special combatactions, the rider and mount must work together to

learn the desired art. Each combat action requires

at least a week of training using Handle Animal.

The rider must spend half this time (at the rate of

3 hours per day per animal being handled)

working toward completion of the task before he

attempts the Handle Animal check. If the check

fails, the rider's attempt to teach the animal fails.

The rider need not complete the training time. If

the check succeeds, the rider must invest the

remainder of the time to complete the training. Ifthe time is interrupted or the task is not followed

through to completion, the attempt train the mount

automatically fails.

The order in which a warhorse or warpony learns

the arts of dressage is fixed. Skills taught in later

arts build on those learned in the earlier ones. The

order of training is the same as listed under the

Arts of Dressage feat above (levade, capriole,

courbette, croupade, and ballotade).

Once the mount is trained, the rider can use

Handle Animal and a move action to command

the mount to perform the combat action.

(A cavalier, druid, or ranger can still handle his

animal companion as a free action.) The Handle

Animal check DC for all arts of dressage combat

actions is 20. If the Handle Animal check

succeeds, the mount performs the desired art on

its next action.

If the Handle Animal check to cue a steed toperform one of the arts fails, the mount loses a

standard action on its next action. The botched

cue confuses the mount.

The Combat Actions Defined

Levade: This combat action is a movement in

which the horse or pony raises the forequarters,

brings the hindquarters under him, and balances

with haunches deeply bent and forelegs drawn up.

Assuming this position is a move action. While inlevade, the mount can lash out with a foreleg. The

mount gains a +2 bonus to this attack roll, but

suffers a -2 penalty to Armor Class until the

beginning of its next turn. Damage inflicted by a

successful hoof strike while in levade equals

normal damage plus 1-1/2 times the mount's

Strength bonus.

Capriole: The steed executes a vertical leap with a

backward kick of the hind legs at the height of the

leap. This combat action is a full attack. The mountmakes two attack rolls with a -2 penalty due to the

horse's limited field of vision with a backward

kick. Each successful hoof strike inflicts normal

damage plus 1-1/2 times the mount's Strength

bonus. Anyone struck must make a Fortitude save

to avoid being dazed for one round (DC equals 10

+ 1/2 mount's Hit Dice + mount's Strength

modifier).

Courbette: With this movement, the steed bal-

ances on its hind legs and hops forward on its hin-dlegs. The animal moves forward up to 15 feet.

Courbette is a full-round action. Creatures at least

one size category smaller than steed maybe over-

run. This works just like the overrun combat ma-

neuver, but the mount makes a check with a +2 bo-

nus against every appropriately-sized creature in its

path. The mount does not provoke attacks of op-

portunity from the targets of its overrun, but its

movement provokes attacks of opportunity as nor-

mal.

Croupade: The horse jumps with all four legs

drawn up under it and lands on four legs after

kicking to either the fore or rear. This risky attack

is a full attack action during which the mount

moves five feet. This is not a 5-foot step. Each

successful hoof strike inflicts normal damage.

If the mount's 5-foot step moves into spaces

occupied by creatures at least one size category

smaller than steed, those targets face additional

as the horse lands on them, inflicting damage eq

to two hoof strikes plus 1-1/2 times the beast's

Strength modifier. These targets can make attac

opportunity against the mount, but at a -4 penal

targets forgo an attack of opportunity, they can

attempt to avoid the trampling and receive a Re

save to take half damage. The save DC against croupade is 10 + 1/2 the creatures HD + the

creatures Str modifier.

After this special trample attack is resolved, the

steed moves another five feet so that it doesn't

remain in any other creature's space. This is also

a 5-foot step.

Ballotade: The mount rears and then jumps for

tucking its rear legs under its hindquarters. This

full attack action during which the steed takes a5-foot step. Targets at least one size category sm

than the mount in the path of this 5-foot step are

subject to trip attacks. The mount doesn't provo

attacks of opportunity with these trip attacks, an

enjoys a +2 bonus on its combat maneuver chec

The horse may also make a single hoof attack

against a target within reach.

Exotic Mounts

In a fantasy world, there seems little reason that

arts of dressage would be limited to horses andponies. An orc cavalier mounted on a combat tr

dire boar could conceivably perform a courbette

ballotade. Of course, certain modifications to th

combat actions that account for different anatom

may be necessary.

Treasure Among

ThievesbyJennifer Seiden

Before there were Rogues, there were Thieves, and to this day the Thief (as well as Smuggle

Burglars, Pickpockets, and Robbers) is a timeless addition to any party. This is the person

whose tactics are questioned; whose morals are a bit left of honorable.

Who better to steal treasure from?

Types of Thieves

Robbers and muggers: A robber is someone who steals using force or fear. Violence and

intimidation are usually a big part of the robbery.

Burglar: A burglary is generally defined as the breaking and entering of the residence of

another in the night time. Stealth and skill are both required to be a successful burglar.

Pickpocket: A pickpocket is a street thief that uses stealth techniques to steal from people

during the day or night.

Snatchers and Shoplifters: These types of thieves are usually not skilled so much as

desperate. In either case the thief grabs what they can and gets away as quickly as possible.

Looters: Looters are criminals of opportunity. They wait near battlefields or where there is w

or unrest and steal as items are abandoned, however briefly.

Kidnapping: The theft of people or prized living beings, like pets. At times this type of theft

requires stealth, sneak attacks, and intimidation.

Smuggler: One who moves goods, usually illegal, from one place to another. Although not

technically stealing, these goods are often stolen and the smuggle must have some skills in

hiding the items and sneaking them past security checkpoints.

Embezzlement: Taking assets from people by having them entrusted to that person. A lawye

could embezzle funds from clients; a spouse can steal funds or property from his or her mate

Usually requires some sneakiness and con rolls.


25/52

Thieves' Tools

Most roleplaying games have an available set of

tools that help out the thief in his trade, but they

usually consist of a set of lockpicks to help reduce

the Disable Device difficulty. There are many

different devices that a thief can use for his or her

trade, and certainly they themselves can be worth

some money when robbing the robber.

Most types of thieves will want to have some sort of

weapon on their person. For those who directly rob

other people, this weapon should be intimidating. For

others who hope to avoid capture, a concealable,

secure weapon to be used in emergencies is a better

bet.

Pickpocket's Outfit: has concealed pockets, 5 gp

Dark stealthy clothing 5 gp

Tear-Away Clothing: for easily removable disguises+5 gp

Rope and other climbing equipment: For those who

prefer burglary, all sorts of climbing equipment is

useful to get into houses 5-10gp

Key, skeleton 85 gp. Opens a lot of doors, although

not all of them reduces DR by 5.

Key, wax-blank 15 gp. Allows the thief to make a

quick copy of a key.

Kit, Disguise 50 gp. Allows the character to quickly

put on a disguise. Includes makeup, hair, wax and

gum.Thieves' Tools: lockpicks and other tools to Disable

Device, 30 gp

Masterwork Thieves Tools, 100 gp

What Else could a Thief Have?

Anything. Literally, anything that the thief might

recently have stolen can now be made available to

the next thief. However, the level of prize is largely

dependent on the skills and experience of the thief

with a dash of luck added in.

A poor or inexperienced thief is more likely to have

low-worth goods on their person. They also have a 1

in 10 chance of having a high-priced item thanks to a

stroke of luck. An experienced thief will have more

high-end goods on their person, and a 4 in 10 chance

of having some really nice expensive pieces in their

possession. A master thief has mostly high end

goods, already provided and 8 in 10 chance of

finding the best stuff available.

Obtaining it, However.

You would think that a thief would be extra careful

regarding where they hide and hold their own

valuables. Therefore an inexperienced thief is careful

enough to warrant a +2 to +5 on the difficulty rating of

stealing from them,. The more preparation a PC takes

in the theft, the more like this increase in DR is

reduced. An experienced thief increases the risk of

getting caught (+5 to +10 to DR), and a Master Thief is

even harder to take things from (+10 to +20).

The Thief Competition

The thieves have a game they play, and it may be one

that the PCs can get involved with if they themselves

are thieves (or need to pretend to be thieves for another

adventure hook). Each thief that wants to enter the

competition must carry an item of value on their person

worth at least 1000 gp. These items are noted by the

judges/referees prior to the start of the competition.

This item must be kept on the person of the thief and in

the thief's room at night. Despite the mockery made ofhonor among thieves, this competition is supposed to

be as honorable as possible. Therefore the item must

not be in a sealed container, although it can be hidden.

At the end of a three-day period, the thieves come

forward and present their accumulations. The thieves

gain 10 points for each item they stole. They gain

another 20 points if they were able to maintain (or steal

back) the item they brought to the competition. Highest

score indicates the Thief of the Year.

Other Plot Hooks

- A thief steals something from one of the PCs and

when the adventurers give chase and trap the thief, it

turns out the thief has plenty of really valuable items on

him. Unfortunately, some of these items are so valuable

that returning them is near-impossible without

warranting an investigation into themselves.

- A network of skilled cat burglars is revealed to be an

elderly man and a band of orphans. The old bitter man

does not care for the children so much as use them, but

the orphans will not give up their ways so easily,

especially when, for some of the older ones, this town's

alternatives include slavery and prostitution.

- The PCs stumble onto a robbery or kidnapping plot

and the gang takes them along too to eliminate any

witnesses. It is clear that these thieves are beginning to

get out of control and the PCs are going to have to keep

the nervous criminals from doing anything rash to any

of the victims as the law officials close in.

By Megan Robertson

Delta Green

byPagan Publishing

Many years ago, in a scene that came straight out of

these pages, a car drew up outside my house and

the driver handed me a copy of this book before

whizzing off again! Unfortunately, it was a loan,but the release of a PDF version gives me the urge

and wherewithall to sit down and review it.

It opens with a facsimile letter, the rant of an aging

veteran steeped in disgust at the modern world and

in the urban myths of conspiracy theories about

Roswell aliens and military-industrial complexes...

or is it a clear-headed look at what many do not,

cannot see? This is followed by the Introduction,

blending the real reasons for general public mistrust

of government seamlessly into the alternate realityof Call of Cthulhu where the Cthulhu Mythos is all

too terribly real and ready to drive those who

investigate it insane. This book brings the whole

Mythos bang up to date, bringing forth a group,

Delta Green, dedicated to combating it wherever it

dares raise a slimy tentacle, keeping the world,

unknowingly, safe one day at a time.

Chapter 1: The Big Picture continues in similar vein, beginning with a discussion of the rationale

behind the work: that the original Call of Cthulhu rules never provided for a real reason why anyone

should risk life and sanity combating an evil that, apart from the odd shady cultist, didn't really impactthat much on the world as a whole. Moreover, as private citizens, they often had as much opposition

from the forces of law and order as from transdimensional beings with lots of tentacles. The final

motivator was to provide a solid contemporary setting for those who found the 1920s just too remote

and out-of-date. Here, then, is a contemporary setting with characters as government agents involved in

a conspiracy to protect the world from a lot more than bank robbers, serial killers and terrorists. The

first section rounds out with an overview of the rest of the book and some wise advice for Keepers

(GMs) contemplating running a Delta Green game.


29/52

Next comes The Mythos in the 1990s, looking at

how the Mythos itself has evolved and adapted

to fit into modern times. People are less scared

of monsters but they are scared of serial killers

and terrorists. Even more, the seeds of

destruction are sown not by creatures from

outside but by humankind's own behaviour. This

continues with a series of notes about how manyof the groups and creatures familiar to 1920s

investigators have modified their modes of

operation over the decades.

As the Mi-Go feature largely within the world

view as presented by Delta Green, the next

section is devoted to The Fungi from Yuggoth.

First and foremost, remember that they are

ALIEN. They don't think like us, their

motivations are incomprehensible... and yet the

Keeper needs to get his head around them.Various thoughts and notes are provided here to

give said poor Keeper support in portraying the

Mi-Go and their machinations effectively. Their

story of more intense interaction with humanity

begins at Roswell...

Next the development of US federal agencies is

charted in the section Big Brother From Then Til

Now, and presents an interesting rationale for the

proliferation of agencies: none was to be

permitted too much power, too wide a scope.Much of what is presented here is real-world

history, if somewhat ideosyncratic in scope, and

is certainly suffiencient to enable even

non-American gamers to navigate their way

through the ensuing 'alphabet soup' of US

federal agencies with interests both domestic and

international that may crop up during the course

of the game. There's even a comprehensive

timeline to put everything in place.

Now that the scene has been set Chapter 2: Delta

Green looks at the organisation that is central to

this game. The origins of Delta Green date back

to a 1928 raid on Innsmouth, and from there

weaves through real-world agency organisa

tional history to its present role, with a strong

detour through the realms of conspiracy theories,

espectially those involving parapsychologi

cal research, the supernatural and the occult -

and of course including Roswell. This encounter

brought about a divergence, with Majestic-12

more interested in aliens and Delta Green

chasing after more terrestrial issues... or were

they? Anyhow, following various debacles,

Delta Green was disbanded, at least officially, in1970. But it lingered on as a more informal body

of like-minded individuals within governmental

agencies, still working to counter the Mythos

threat by destroying utterly anything that it

encountered. Remember the embittered veteran

whose letter opened this book? A leader of this

informal version of Delta Green, his death at the

hands of Majestic 12 assassins led others to

realise that a more organised structure would be

beneficial so in 1994, Delta Green was reborn,

still an unofficial conspiracy but now anorganised one within the ranks of legitimate

federal agents spread across the whole gamut of

government service. A detailed timeline puts all

this into perspective, and the chapter rounds off

with extensive notes on key players within the

organisation. Each is provided with full game

stats, so may appear as necessary within your

adventures.

Next, Chapter 3: Majestic-12 looks at the main

rival to Delta Green. The story begins with thearrival of alien beings at Roswell, and continues

relating what is 'known' by the authorities... and

suspected by conspiracy theorists the world

over. Majestic-12 was formed to study these

alien arrivals and their technology, as well as

anything else UFO-related, working with the

intention of harnessing what they learned to the

good of mankind (or at least, that of the United

States). Many of their researchers went mad,

killed themselves or just vanished. Much of this

early 'history' is standard conspiracy theory fare,

but around 1980 it moves into new realms to fit

game needs. Current knowledge, structure and

personalities are discussed, to be revealed as

thought necessary should characters become

interested or involved (not necessarily

voluntarily) with the organisation. And then

comes the 'truth'


30/52

- what, within the context of the game, is really

going on, definitely material for the Keeper's

eyes only, then the chapter ends with yet another

timeline, this of Majectic-12's activities and

discoveries, and full details of key players in the

organisation with full game stats.

Another organisation follows in Chapter 4:

Karotechia. This group perpetuates the Nazi

fascination with the occult and is based in South

America, working to establish the Fourth Reich.

From its formation in 1939, the organisation is

deeply embedded in Nazi ideology, and

maintains links with white supremacists and

other unwholesome groups. They also believe

that they are in communication with the

immortal soul of Adolf Hitler, for which an

alternative explanation is provided for the

Keeper's use. There are notes (and stats) forleading members, the intention being that the

Karotechia provide a lesser opposition to Delta

Green operatives, a suitable challenge for

characters to cut their teeth on.

Next up, Chapter 5: Saucer Watch discusses a

UFO research organisation, a well-funded and

sceptical group which may prove useful to

characters investigating this area of the

paranormal. Several of their headline

investigations are detailed, along with Keeper'snotes about what was really going on and which

Mythos entities were responsible. Characters not

seeking law enforcement or other Federal

careers could conceivibly be members of Saucer

Watch instead of Delta Green, although it is also

likely that at some point in the campaign

Majestic-12 might decide that they were just too

much of a nusiance and put them out of business

with extreme prejudice.

This is followed by Chapter 6: The Fate, yetanother group with which characters might

interact. They are unusual in that they do know

about the Mythos but their reaction is an

interesting one: if mankind is doomed, they

intend to grab as much power as they can and

enjoy it while they may! Led by an exceptional

sorcerer they have links to organised crime and

the music industry, and may be helpful or

otherwise to the characters.

Then come a series of Appendices, which

actually take up about half the book! They start

with an extensive bibliography for those

Keepers who want to devle even further into

'real' comspiracy theories to add more flavour

and depth into their games, as well as more

credible recent history of real-world organisa-

tions and events. Then there's a glossary of slang

and other terminology that could prove useful.

To add another layer of realism, there's

extensive detail on security classifications,

complete with guidelines on producing realistic

handouts that look like they came from the CIA

or FBI... When things That Should Not Be are

encountered, a section on Mythos-relatedmanuscripts, including their game effects,

should provide plenty of material. There are

even some rather nice facsimile documents you

could use as handouts.

Next comes a section on adventures. Plenty of

ideas have probably been spawned by what you

have already read, but an entire introductory

adventure is provided to get you going. It starts

with the characters not being members of Delta

Green, depending on their actions this statusmay well change. It's a cracking little adventure

that ought to get the characters, ideally ordinary

FBI agents, thinking in wholly new ways. More

adventures follow, including a whole

mini-campaign, to keep the ball rolling,

designed to be interleaved with events of your

own devising. Even if you just use these, there is

plenty to keep your agents firmly in the middle

of trouble.

Then there is a section about character creation.Based on the core Call of Cthulhu rules with

assorted modifications to create federal agents

who are at least potential - if not already - Delta

Green operatives, they provide all you need to

know to direct your players through the process.

It also includes creating wider Delta Green


31/52

'cells' of operatives; and is followed by even more detail on federal agencies, to provide background and

verisimiltude for your characters. (There's a note in the PDF that some of this has changed in the wake

of the '9/11' terrorist attacks, but if you wish to accommodate such detail you will need to do your own

research into the likes of the Department of Homeland Security!) Occupation templates and even sample

characters are included for a whole alphabet soup of agencies, branches of the armed forces, and other

organisations. There are also new skills, reflecting the contemporary setting... and some modern fire-

arms, as they are sure to be required upon occasion. The book ends with a comprehensive index and a

character sheet customised for this setting.

This work is a skilful blend of popular conspiracy theory and Mythos lore, providing a meaningful way

of bringing Call of Cthulhu into the modern world without just continuing the standard activities of

1920s investigators. The provided adventures are exciting, sweeping your characters straight into the

thick of things. Overall, I'm very glad its found its way back into my hand.
