Delta Green Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays Part 2

by  • 

After the violent death of Agent Grant during the standoff at the sacred cave on August 12, 1997, the two other agents did their best to carry on with the strange investigation.  A blood-splatter specialist, Dr. Mindy Blatherstone, was added to the investigation as things continued to get more and more bizarre.   Though a suspect to the crimes had been identified, finding him was another thing entirely.  Add to that the NSA, CIA, INSCOM, and CIC agents demanding all information of the investigation, and things looked terribly suspicious.

On November 19, 2010, I ran the second Delta Green game that had started as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  My players were Cesar, Yamil, and Melissa.  I ran the introductory scenario from the Delta Green book: Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays.  I also used the online handouts by Graham Kinniburgh [Adam Astonbury].  This is the conclusion of that scenario.

Delta Green – Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays Part 1

On Friday, August 8, 1997, three special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation stationed in Phoenix, Arizona, were sent to investigate a missing-persons case in nearby San Carlos.  Thirteen people had disappeared off the same road near the town in the last month.

Agent Arthur Crispy was only a year from retirement and looked it.  He had been horribly burned years before.  Sasha Petrova had been born in the U.S. of Russian immigrants and was a martial arts expert and excellent driver.  Maude Grant had been educated with hostage rescue team maneuvers.  This is their story.

On November 12, 2010, I ran a Delta Green game as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  As we didn’t complete the game (due to the fantastic role-playing), it ended up going for two sessions.  My players were Cesar, Yamil, and Melissa.  I ran the introductory scenario from the Delta Green book: Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays.  I also used the online handouts by Graham Kinniburgh [Adam Astonbury].
