    Two Shades of Green: Delta Green's Schism

    Sean and Harrigan map the two Delta Greens — the 2002 schism between "The Program," the official government arm, and "The Outlaws," the off-the-books old guard — and how the faction you choose reshapes a whole campaign's tone. Plus the wider web of factions (Majestic offshoots, March Technologies, the Quiet Children, Persistent Vigil) you can pull into your game.

    Handlers Guide: Running the Game

    Sean and Harrigan slide into the Handler's chair, breaking down Delta Green's Handler's Guide and the craft of running the game — building dread, drip-feeding information, and keeping the table bleak, paranoid, and afraid.

    Lethal Force and Tradecraft

    Delta Green combat is fast and final — initiative on Dexterity, one action a turn, and a lethality rating that can drop an Agent before they ever roll to dodge. Then Harrigan flips to the other half of staying alive: tradecraft — sanitizing the scene, disposing of the body, funding the cover-up, and lying to the locals so the conspiracy stays buried.

    A deep dive into Delta Green’s most devastating mechanic: the Sanity system.
