Bud explains... The origin of Delta Green and MAJESTIC-12

[@AJPickett]

This is exactly what I wanted to know about Delta Green! Thanks Bud.

[@josephshriner2850]

Bud/AJ crossover when?

[@AJPickett]

@@josephshriner2850 Anytime Bud wants to.

[@josephshriner2850]

@@AJPickett Dooooo iiiitttttt! You guys are two of my favorite to do lore videos.

[@BudsRPGreview]

What did you have in mind?

[@josephshriner2850]

@@BudsRPGreview Maybe a D&D contra Delta Green breakdown of the mythos? How both systems view it. Where they are similar and different? I'm also just pushing this to fan boy a bit because I spotted AJ in your comments. I have no shame.

[@lvp73]

Exceptionally helpful to a new player looking to run Delta Green in the near future. nice one!

[@BudsRPGreview]

Glad you liked it!

[@garmr-helson]

Had a laugh at the Office of Naval Intelligence logo. Been a halo fan for a long time and watching as people throw in the logos of the UNSC and ONI into modern agencies always causes a hearty laugh. Thanks for your videos bud, been a lovely help to understanding the world of Delta Green more and trying to nail down the veils and strings that lie behind my players eyes.

It’s the only one I could find.

​@@BudsRPGreview well, they certainly have some qualities. Maybe effective ones, but not good ones lol.

[@joeadams3228]

Really well done! Great use of the core books and supplements to present a detailed picture.

[@josesanchez1011]

Very concise, accurate, and well-done explanation of Delta Green. Thank you for this. Its always good to get a quick explanation of RPG lore that manages to be short without glossing over too much important information. I hope we can get many more videos like this to help explain things to new players or to show to non players to get them to try out a game.

[@BudsRPGreview]

I could have expanded it, however, I think it would have been mostly superfluous given the context.

[@josesanchez1011]

@@BudsRPGreview I agree. You did a great job at explaining the main conflict, the origins of both groups, why they are enemies, and the extra fluff is a nice bonus that can be discovered as one dives deeper into the lore of the game.

[@BudsRPGreview]

@@josesanchez1011 I'll probably go into that in a later video - tentatively called the Machinations of the Mi-Go (after the book).

[@SusCalvin]

The Innsmouth raid was an actual Chaosium adventure. Or the end chapter of one. Your traditional investigators have been prodding around town and finally been chased out. And just when the players might think "Dang, we can't fight a whole town" the FBI shows up, debriefs them and offers them a role as consultants and advisors. If the PCs are up for it, the PCs are split between three marine squads, the submarine and the coast guard cutter. One squad starts advancing on the temple, one small team infiltrates the Marsh manor to secure the pnacotic scripts, one large group boats into the caves under Innsmouth. The cutter and two support ships shell the city. The submarine goes on an adventure. You do not play the FBI men raiding the refinery. The game plays scene by scene in each approach chronologically. The PCs are separated, players with no PC present play premade, simple marines and sailors. A whole lot of NPC soldiers follow along. You play one scene where the marines take the temple, one where the coast guard shells a large shape rising from the water and if the coast guard fails the next scene with the marines in the temple has them face Dagon. The submarine torpedoes a thing and in the next scene the coast guard crews see something large and wounded float up.

Hello Bud, i Play DG since a couple of Month. Your VIDS help me a lot, so i wish to thank you very much for your great work!

[@BudsRPGreview]

Glad you find them useful.

[@Akuroxradio]

I am a big fan of both Delta Green and Bud !

[@jubbmcdiesel8639]

Delta Green is by far the best use of the mythos for roleplay. I'm spending too much money on antifungal Plutonian tin foil. Thank you for a great lore breakdown man

[@feloniousCephalopod]

I assumed your hand gestures would distract me but they actually helped me follow along with what you were saying. Thanks for the concise and clear explanation!

[@BudsRPGreview]

You're welcome

[@Akuroxradio]

Sometimes I just rewatch Bud's videos just to put me back in the Delta Green mood or simply for inspiration.

[@judyhopps9380]

I started reading Viscid and it was an amazing adventure until the MJ12 stuff hits. It really went off a cliff. This helped me digest it during a second reading, thanks

[@atilax6452]

Wow. I have never met other Delta Green fans/players/readers. Have you folks also read all the books and lore? This is cool.

[@BudsRPGreview]

Most of it, yes.

[@atilax6452]

@BudsRPGreview - Cool! Great video. I have gone many years without ever discussing this stuff with anybody. I reread the books roughly once a year. Always amazed that this "universe" never got more attention. But, after seeing what is going on with my beloved 40k, I hope DG continues to lurk in the shadows.

[@davidbrennan660]

I always wonder how HotOE would play out with Delta Green Operatives.......the Static Teams would be busy ....it is a mind experiment they gets messy in later episodes.

[@dmeep]

the only letters in that abreviation i understood was "of the" and they might be wrong aswell

[@Chestbridge]

@@dmeep I assume that's Horror on the Orient Express, a campaign for Call of Cthulhu! 😉

@@Chestbridge that fits. abreviations are rarely obvious for anyone except the one using them. "i have presented you with a puzzle and im off!"

[@ugsisr]

So it goes much further and farther back in time then we really know

[@BudsRPGreview]

Well, no. It started with the raid on Innsmouth.

[@SusCalvin]

​@@BudsRPGreviewYou could play that raid in the last chapter of Shadows over Innsmouth. Just when the PCs have been chased out and realize they can't invade a town. At that point you have poked around all over town and know it better than the soldiers about to raid it.

[@Theotherone89]

We moving close to an Iconoclasts review? I’m about to finish my current campaign and I lean on you heavy for prep.

[@BudsRPGreview]

Not really, no. Our Handler is also working on some freelance editing for Chaosium, and also about to start a new distance learning course so his time is limited. I need to speak to him probably...

be nice to hear why are they here and why they never said anything about their world and going home? that deal only helps our government and hurts the people for a lifetime.

[@BudsRPGreview]

It's kind of out of scope for what I was trying to do. I'm probably going to do a follow up video called The Machinations of the Mi-go.

[@SusCalvin]

Pagan decided to start with the Mi-go. The cult of Cthulhu has been suppressed into obscurity. They did a lot of work on them, vastly expanding and creating their own version.

[@AWICKEDVIXEN1999]

Real premonitions come on their own. You can't go into some trance and make it happen. It happens on its own thru no power of your own. These people are bunk

[@BudsRPGreview]

You do realise this is fiction for a game called Delta Green?

[@AWICKEDVIXEN1999]

@BudsRPGreview no I didn't 😂 thanks 😂
