THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: ESCAPE
It’s been nine days back now and people are starting to notice. “Annie, what’s up? Are you okay?” Yes. Sure. I’m fine, I’d love to say, but instead say nothing and smile a thin-lipped smile. My mom called that smile my “fuck you” smile.
Mom, I’d like to say a lot of things. I’d love to tell someone my problems, but the ...

Well, good and bad news on IMPOSSIBLE LANDSCAPES. The good news is it's likely to be ~350+ pages long (128 was the projected size). The bad news is, I'm still working on it, and it's still growing, changing and twisting in new ways. Here are two sections for your early perusal...
SURREAL HORROR

“Perhaps the only physical remnant of the hysteria which once gripped Europe and the Americas concerning witchcraft, the shape is considered one of the few items that has raised more questions on the phenomenon than it has answered. Though its provenance cannot be conclusively proven, few doubt the story that accompanies the Godwie Shape....

Time doesn’t pass right, down here in the tunnels. It hums along, with days and weeks and months piling up in an invisible weight on top of you, baggage that you drag along in silence, that only the other ones can see properly. At some point, when you become old enough, it all falls away and doesn’t matter anymore.

B. called for the second time at just after 9, less frantic this time, to tell me they were ten minutes out. Same deal? I asked. Same deal, he confirmed. I told him I didn’t want to hear it when he got here. If he turned up with just the kid, I wasn’t going to do it. Not on credit. I’m not risking this job for a fucking favor, I don’t ca...

THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: DAD
And then I’m home, and it’s like a place I’ve dreamt about, but never been to. In my mind, it’s like I know what’s around every corner. What people are going to say. But it’s not like that too, because things have changed. It’s been 21-years (and let’s not talk about the last 8, OK?) and the town has shrunk, collapsed, fallen awa...

Located on a dig in an unmarked mound in Louisiana in 1967 by self-proclaimed archaeologist Teilhard Boucher, the Hunahpú mask — sometimes called the “god mask” — is considered by most in-the-know as a fake, albeit a very clever one. After 1973, it was entirely ignored, and vanished from official record. No one knows its current loc...

The horrors of the King in Yellow spread. They stretch and change and move. They make the ordered world into a dream-jumbled mess of terror. Usually, when that terror reaches the limit of the mind it occupies, it settles and pools, consuming that person and location in darkness. Sometimes, that location skirts the edges of Carc...

There are many mechanical aspects of violence and combat that the Delta Green Role-Playing Game — in a bid to keep combat streamlined and simple — has chosen not to emulate. Blast overpressure, concussions, internal injuries, bleeding out and more have previously been hand- waived. Not anymore. Here are some alternative rules to give the Han...

I was coming back from well, someplace I don't want no one to know about when it happened. We'd seen Tommy off in style, in a Chicago fashion. Too much to drink. Too long. Black suits and full blues and drunk people laughing and talking about times before he turned up in a welded, steel drum with no arms or legs. Too much information. Hey ...

This includes the introduction, entities and artifacts section, as well as the revamped THE NIGHT FLOORS. I've been feverishly working on this for some time. Here's the first half of what I've "finished". It will be approximately the same size as THE AGENT'S HANDBOOK when it is done.
Right now, I'm writing the last opera...
THE WAY IT WENT DOWN: FAMILY
Anne calls from somewhere out past Inland Empire, and, of course, I have to go. Emily stares at me as I get the keys and put on my shoes.
"You don't have to," she says, but I can tell she doesn't mean it. Behind those eyes are other statements of fact and fiction. If I don't go, there's a whole other chain of events there. It's h...

The house was as dark as the sky when I finally arrived, so I went around the back and sat down. The darkened house spoke the first rule of empty-nesters: old people go to bed early.
The neighbor, Mr. Kandusky poked his head at the window on the alley to the side and after a moment said:

PARTING WORDS-A DISRUPTION FOR ANY DELTA GREEN OPERATION
Delta Green slams teams together for all manner of operations. They do this suddenly, and in secret, and often the horrors this new team shares transcends any normal relationship found in the real world. It’s more like a bond found in combat, or in survivors of long-term traumas. Delta Green Agents know only other Delta Green Agents trulyunder...

Fifth day in the stacks, and the MacBook Pro was glitching. Not that I was working, really. They'd forgotten me down here in D, it seemed, and that was cool, cool, cool. AC and silence, away from the rest of the museum while it churned through summer people. I mean, the other option was a pink slip; so saying I was good with this was a huge unde...

The particular flavor of horror and conspiracy that Delta Green brings to the table is unique and often commented on. A mixture of hopelessness, fear, split-second decision making, and self- sacrifice, Delta Green has thrived for 21 years based on this formulae. Sometimes, fledgeling Handlers have a hard time wrapping their head around it, and s...
