Gold ENnie Award winner for Best Free Game, 2016! 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 agents. You’re the one they call when unnatural horrors seep into the world. You fight to keep cosmic evil from claiming human lives and sanity. You conspire to cover it all up so no one else must see what you’ve seen—or learn the terrible truths you’ve discovered. The quickstart rulebook of DELTA GREEN: NEED TO KNOW includes everything you need to play Delta Green. * Complete rules for conducting investigations, overcoming crises, fighting for your life, and watching your sanity slip away. * Complete rules for character creation.* Six characters, ready to play. * A Delta Green operation, “Last Things Last,” ready for the Handler (the game moderator) to introduce your team to Delta Green tonight. This is only the beginning. Deeper terrors can be found in Delta Green: The Role-Playing Game and its sourcebooks, available from Arc Dream Publishing. NEED TO KNOW is also available with a sturdy Handler's Screen for your game table.

"Wild Talents" is a complete superhero roleplaying game built for fast, thrilling action. The "Wild Talents" game system-the "One-Roll Engine" made famous by such games as "Reign," "Godlike" and "Monsters and Other Childish Things"-is fast-paced yet detailed, with an emphasis on the dangers of heroism and the importance of willpower and motivations. The rules for creating superpowers from scratch offer tremendous flexibility, with enough simplicity to make it easy to play and enough depth to suit any gamer, and make the game eminently easy to customize. "Wild Talents" includes an in-depth alternate version of modern history, which builds on the acclaimed setting of the World War II game "Godlike" and extends it to the present day and to Talent-influenced events that reach into the depths of government secrecy and beyond the stars. Kenneth Hite's analysis of superhero campaign worlds guides you through the construction of wholly unique superhero settings, worlds whose history fits perfectly your vision for your setting and style of play. "Wild Talents (Second Edition)" is a full-color hardcover book which includes: Complete rules for creating characters, creating new powers, and running the game. Guidelines for building alternate superheroic histories that fit your characters and style of play. An extensive history of a "World Gone Mad," from the first appearance of Talents in World War II to the present day, more and more warped by human beings who have superhuman powers.
