I share my thoughts about the 1960s era roleplaying game of Lovecraftian horror and dark conspiracies, The Fall of Delta Green. The game, from Pelgrane Press, is written by the very well regarded Kenneth Hite.
SUMMARY
There's plenty of gaming goodness to recommend Ken Hite's The Fall of Delta Green. While the Gumshoe system might not be the most intuitive relatively rules light system out there,
it's only the game master who might need to take some time to come to grips with the system. The setting and related content is fantastic. Sadly, for a game which was released in
2018, there isn't a whole lot of supplemental material which has been published by Pelgrane Press. Regardless, I do certainly recommend the game to GMs out there who would be
interested in the Lovecraft Mythos and dark conspiracies during the 1960s as an RPG setting.
