Delta Green Agent's Handbook: It won't protect you from the horrors 🕵️‍♂‍ RPG Review & Mechanics

Delta Green is an award-winning standalone RPG based on Call of Cthlulhu rules. The core game comes as two books, the Agent’s Handbook and the Handler’s Guide. This video covers the first of those, which is basically the player’s handbook.
Here’s my video of Delta Green Handler’s Guide: • Delta Green Handler's ...
NOTE: This game deals with mature themes of mental illness, madness and torment.

The Lethality Rating thing is so good. Considering characters have around 10 or so hitpoints, plus 3 for kevlar armor, you're dead whichever way the damage roll goes.

[@AncientArcaneCore]

Awesome review! Decided to buy the game and run it for my friends based on your review.

[@stewbailey7572]

Great review , thanks 👍🏻

[@iesika7387]

My first Delta Green character was EPA Criminal Investigations Division. It makes for a great JOT build, because it's a role you expect to have both a law encorcement skill set with combat/investigation and a decent sciences background. Everybody else in the party went supernerd of one flavor or another so it ended up being extremely useful that she was so flexible. Can recommend! I feel like EPA CID is kind of used to the idea that there are unfeeling inhuman entities that exist only to devour, with no regard for the ruination or ending of human lives. Shifting targets from the coal industry or other heavy-polluting corporate enemy to eldritch monstrosities seemed pretty natural. :)

Such great rules and overview! You make it simple

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

Oh man, I can't wait for the handlers guide review! I'm gonna be sharing this one with all my players. I feel like it helps explain some things, both tone and gameplay, really well.

[@freddaniel5099]

Looking forward to The Handler's Book review.

[@markxsavage]

Excellent review, Dave. Looking forward to Handler's.

[@ArcDreamPublishing]

I was getting a lot of Ideas for a hellboy kr bprd campaign with this

[@DaveThaumavore]

Caleb Smith Oh yes definitely. This is practically a Hellboy sourcebook.

[@_evillevi]

This looks great for an SCP Foundation campaign.

[@raff3486]

I'm glad of what you do!

[@DaveThaumavore]

Thanks, Raff!

[@comproggi]

Start every session by having the player characters sign a mission NDA.

[@eric_eagle]

That’s a really cool idea. Department letterhead and everything. I’m going to use that if I run this!

[@ejsmith7626]

Epic work

[@Refresh5406]

One of my favorite games ever

[@1943germany]

Great for any SCP themed campaigns, also did anyone see the image at 5:45?

[@irieviibe2]

I use the ruleset for a scp themed game every other Thursday

[@supercuban3000]

What image? Are you feeling okay? I'm not gaslighting you right now.

[@pencilmage]

you the man dave :)

[@terrybeal2252]

Sounds interesting 😎

[@smilemore7431]

Welcome to the SCP Foundation.

[@D.M.S.]

Which is exactly why I bought it ^^

[@DND20]

​@@D.M.S.
I think it's more UIU than SCP

[@abcdef-mz7gf]

​@@DND20
Yes, literally has the fbi

[@NinjaPay99]

This game seems fun. I have to try it sometime. Any recommended amount of players or any tips?

[@DaveThaumavore]

Number of players is like any other RPG: 3 to 5 is the sweet spot. As far as tips, the Handler book is chock full of advice and tips tailored to the game itself.

[@NinjaPay99]

@@DaveThaumavore Thank you. I'm excited to get into the game.

[@abcdef-mz7gf]

You should do jumpscare warnings. Just a rule of thumb.

SCP Vietnam: The RPG

[@stevelinden3555]

Good video!!!!

[@svenk5221]

I can´t believe I missed out on this just because I didn´t like the name and thought I hae Cthulhu 7e and enaugh imagination to do scenarios like this on my own when somebody mentioned it to me.... But I have to admit there is enaugh in here to make this a no brain purchase

[@Grogeous_Maximus]

No one else finds the spliced frames distracting? :|

[@Deiniel91]

I did, You are not alone.

[@Shad_Rach]

the sound effects are too loud compared to the narration

Nice touch at 5:45. I screen capped it after stopping the video in slomo. Weird picture.
