There’s a new Bundle of Holding that just went up, this time for Delta Green. Delta Green is Pagan Publishing/Arc Dream’s setting of Lovecraftian madness and governmental conspiracy. It’s more or less The X-Files meets Call of Cthulhu. Speaking of: it’s a supplement for Call of Cthulhu, but everything would port over to Cthulhu Dark easily enough. (If anyone’s interested, I have some DG drifted rules I found to add to Cthulhu Dark in order to differentiate a bit better between occupations.)
The ideas are spectacular, and DG basically fixes all the non-mechanical problems I have with Call of Cthulhu. It also tends to focus a bit more on the human element of mythos weirdness, which I like. Hello, Christmas present to self!

I saw it. I already have most of them in print. Bah! Humbug…

Me too. I already have everything except some of the fiction in dead tree form, but it’s still pretty sweet (and an excuse to talk about Delta Green).

I, however, don’t own any Delta Green stuff. This seems like a good, safe opportunity to check it out.

Purchased!
A caveat or two, though I’m probably forgetting others I should mention. First is that this is definitely a pre-9/11 game. If I were running a straight DG game, I’d probably set it in like 1998. If that’s not your bag, there are some details about post-9/11 changes to US government agencies (and I think to the structure of DG itself), and how things might shape up in a more modern campaign. I think all that is in Targets of Opportunity, but am not positive.

Whoops, I was wrong. The post-9/11 stuff was published in Worlds of Cthulhu, which is where I saw it. But it’s available free on the DG website here: http://www.delta-green.com/2012/11/directive-from-a-cell-105-delta-green-and-the-long-war/
