Go Bag is about modern-day tabletop RPGs packed with bullets, backstories, and bad decisions. From tactical espionage to over-the-top action, we dive into games that have an element of tradecraft like Delta Green, Outgunned, Nights Black Agents, White Lies, James Bond/Classified, Top Secret, and beyond. Whether you’re a game master, a rules junkie, or just here for the subterfuge, we’ve got what you need when the mission goes loud.

  1. The Downward Spiral (Sanity and Bonds)

    1d ago

    The Downward Spiral (Sanity and Bonds)

    A deep dive into Delta Green’s most devastating mechanic: the Sanity system. We'll cover how Agents slowly lose their minds to violence, helplessness, and the Unnatural, and how they project that trauma onto their "Bonds" (family and friends) to stay in the fight.

    Walking through the Agent's Handbook to build a character.
