0:03:13 BACKGROUND.<\/strong> The history of Delta Green. The Call of Cthulhu sourcebooks and the purpose of rebooting it as a standalone RPG. Optimizing the RPG for the genre. One book or two. Or one book with a separate player-only PDF. Setting sourcebooks on old groups and new. Adventures and campaigns.<\/p>\n

0:18:40 CELLS AND CODE-NAMES.<\/strong> Official, reactivated Delta Green vs. outsider conspirators. What’s your role? That’s up to the game master. The players may not know the truth at first.<\/p>\n

35:40 DEADLINESS OF SCENARIOS.<\/strong> Campaign pacing. One-shots vs. long-form games. Physical meatgrinders and spiritual meatgrinders.<\/p>\n

46:30 COSMIC HORROR IN THE MODERN DAY.<\/strong> Lovecraft wrote technothrillers. Firepower and communication don’t always make things better. Creeping the players out by blurring the lines between game and reality. Making it as modern-day as possible without zeroing in on a specific year. Reflecting current events.<\/p>\n

1:01:00 UPDATING THE TIMELINE.<\/strong> New organizations and antagonists. One spoiler.<\/p>\n

1:12:30 WHEN?<\/strong> In the audio we spitball maybe fall for the KS but the next day we settled on the final Kickstarter date for Delta Green: The Roleplaying Game:<\/em> January 2015.<\/p>\n
