Delta Green: Agent's Handbook (APU8107)

Description

WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE. Born of the U.S. government s 1928 raid on the
degenerate coastal town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, the covert agency known
as Delta Green spent four decades opposing the forces of darkness with honor,
but without glory. Stripped of sanction after a disastrous 1969 operation in
Cambodia, Delta Green s leaders made a secret pact: to continue their work
without authority, without support, and without fear. Delta Green agents slip
through the system, manipulating the federal bureaucracy while pushing the
darkness back for another day but often at a shattering personal cost. In
Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game, you are one of those agent! The AGENT’S
HANDBOOK is a players-only core rulebook of DELTA GREEN: THE ROLE-PLAYING
GAME. This new incarnation of the award-winning DELTA GREEN game line
includes: Rules for creating agents, with dozens of professions from
throughout the U.S. government and the civilian world. Rules for tense, fluid
investigations. Players who use their agents’ skills in clever ways have the
best chance to succeed and survive. Nerve-wracking rules for combat, where
random disasters can undo the most careful planning and the human psyche is as
vulnerable as the body. Mind-melting Sanity rules, which see agents gradually
and inevitably deteriorate from too much exposure to trauma and sometimes snap
in an instant from overwhelming terror. Rules for “home” scenes where players
can see what their agents are fighting for Intuitive rules for equipment and
assets, which let you determine on the fly whether something is available
without having to plan it out ahead of time. Dossiers of the federal agencies
most likely to be featured in Delta Green games, focusing on the details
players want to know when they play their agents. Terrifying full-color
illustrations by co-author Dennis Detwiller. Further terrors can be found in
Delta Green: Need to Know, a quick-start version of the rules which includes a
scenario and a sturdy and useful Handler’s (game moderator’s) screen; and in
the core rulebook of Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game, which includes
everything from the Agent’s Handbook and massive resources just for the
Handler. Read more
