Do you have a passion for Delta Green and a knack for immersive storytelling? I'm looking to assemble a dedicated team of players for "This Line Isn't Secure," a Delta Green actual play podcast with the goal of creating compelling content—and potentially turning it into a profitable venture.
Hey, I'm Radar. I'm a long-time tabletop role-playing game enthusiast with over a decade of experience as a player and game master across systems like D&D and Delta Green. My background in leading teams and coordinating projects equips me to guide this podcast from concept to reality.
The goal is simple: to create engaging, spine-chilling Delta Green content, enjoy the process, and, with time and effort, turn it into a profitable venture. If you’re excited about creating something exceptional and lasting, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out with a brief introduction, your experience with Delta Green, and what you can bring to the table!
See you at the Opera.
Some things are better left buried...
Here for your viewing pleasure is my 2024 Alphabet Jam entry for the assigned letter, "U"!"
"Operation: Unearthed" provides you with a mysterious motel, a formidable foe, and no small dose of hopelessness.

Thank folks!
p.s.
If you enjoy what you read here, keep your eyes peeled for, "Operation TOYBOX" which is set to make its debut later this month.
Here's my entry for the N@TO Discord alphabet jam. It's about PISCES in Scotland. Any criticism is valid. I realised heading into the last day that there are a lot of holes within this, but it's definitely something I'll add to. We just ran out of time! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GYGj-arvWvFXH7_K0opJNMBYhrB2V-6GpJFmA0GQFuU/edit?usp=sharing
Hey folks!
This is my very first self-made Delta Green Operation, and I’m super excited to share it with you all! I’ve written plenty of stuff for D&D in the past, but this is my first dive into creating something for Delta Green specifically. I took part in the Alphabet Jam 2024, and I was assigned the letter O. After a lot of brainstorming, I came up with something I’m proud of, and I hope you’ll enjoy it!
If anyone decides to run the operation with their players, please let me know how it goes. I’d be absolutely thrilled to hear about your experiences!
Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out. Enjoy the Opera.

Made something for my players, figured I'd share it here. All footage used in this trailer is sourced from public domain archives - the song is "Shepherd" by Plain Ride

Title, I got banned from the discord a while ago with no warning. I'd barely interacted at all in the server aside from asking to join an ongoing campaign, what gives?
Having read the intro and rules, I'm not exactly sure how I can appeal my ban without being in the discord
Anyone have a current invite link? Every one I am finding is expired!
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone is in the Australian or similar timezones? When I looked at the discord the games all seem to kickoff around 3-5am my time.
This year for the annual contest, I wrote up a scenario that I intended to be something of a sandbox, or a series of toolkits. I wanted to be a little bit more experimental, the philosophical horror angle really made my brain move at warp speed. The idea was to set something up where you could use the scenario like a bunch blocks. Each layer was supposed to be an optional build on top of the base scenario. Hopefully it'd also be a way to get people thinking about metafiction and using the medium itself as part of the message. Not sure how well I executed on that in the end, but I did have a blast writing this. There's unique stuff you can do in a TTRPG, and I always get excited when people just go for something out there. So, I went for something out there.
Edit: I was helpfully informed I didn't put a link in this text. Whoops, I don't use reddit. Here's the link: THE RAINBOW SIGN
I have never played Delta Green before, but have studied the Agent's Handbook.
Looking for some experience.
Never played a TTRPG of any kind, fast learner.
Does anyone know if Arc Dream has incorporated the known errata into a new print run? I was going to buy the book from leisuregames but they did not have the print run with incorporated errata (I'm assuming here of course, that there has been a latest incorporated errata release).
Cthulhu is one of my favourite settings but it's almost, too well known and as a result, it's hard to come up with a "fear of the unknown" vibe.
I came across some weird stuff on Youtube that I think would make a great adventure or three. SCP for one, then there are all sorts of weird entities like 'Siren-Head'. Just, surreal, very weird, creep you out type entities.
Has anyone done anything with SCP / Sire-Head type themes?
Being the Handler, do I need the Handler's Guide in order to run DG for my players? I'm going to buy it at some point in the future, I was just wondering if I might get by without it for a session or three.
Thanks all.
Looking to play in a new campaign or new to the game? I am a newer handler with experience GMing some scenarios in another players campaign, and as a player. I am accepting players with no experience or players with several rounds in the opera, though more experienced players may make things run smoother.
Considerations and questions:
Planning sundays at 5pm or 6pm CST
What is your Country and Timezone
What is the kind of character you want to play and have you played Delta Green before?
I am planning to play a plot and character developement driven campaign rather than hyper-realism. Imagine playing your own TV character
Can you make it consistently?
planning to play on Discord.
Standard campaign, starts with the Last Things Last scenario
will start this sunday or next sunday.
will often play one shot scenarios with side characters when one player cannot make it. So have a backup character ready fairly quickly.
