I lovehate Delta Green. It's a great premise, and the atmosphere is top notch. The problem is that a lot of the adventures, even the popular ones (looking at you, Impossible Landscapes) kinda suck. The writing is inconsistent at best, and the system itself leaves a lot to be desired (it grinds to an absolute halt if you ever have to do something like traditional RPG combat).
Ditto. Old Delta Green used to be pretty cool since it didn't hold your hand during the writing process and kept the lefty lolbert crap to a minimum. The 2nd edition however killed off most of the introduced big bads, reinstated the organization and became an Antifa soapbox because the devs went insane during the 2016 election. I've seen them and their desired customers fear that pro-2A and pro-cop players will gravitate towards Delta Green on Reddit so they display their wokeness fucking everywhere. How bad is it? Imagine a scarecrow in a cornfield and multiply by a hundred!
DG was always anti-government and anti-GOP because Reagan let aliens abduct US citizens to win the Cold War but never this bad. The organization's biggest martyr was a retired military officer who was a right-winger. I fully expect that legendary NPC to be retconned into a secret drag queen now. At least one of the creators openly hates Lovecraft whose creations put food on his table similar to how Wizards treats Gygax's legacy. This isn't the only page they took out of WOTC's book though because they're rewriting the completely fictional, Cthulhu Mythos tainted Tcho-Tcho race to avoid being called Anti-Azn. One of their more recent works
The Good Life is hands down the worst official scenario I can remember. Literal current year TTRPG award bait which borders on actual wartime Yankee propaganda.
1. It's full of plot holes, openly hates White Southerners who don't piss and dance on Confederate graves, rich White people and White Southern cops. TGL was penned by a Homo soypiens named John Scott Tynes, the quintessential self-hating Southerner.
2. The Agents are pitted against another Ghoul community obsessed with living in the past. This is the third one in the game's lore. Y.A.W.N.
3. It drastically changes CoC/old Delta Green Ghoul lore. They only eat for ceremonial and culinary purposes now. One of the huge scenario hooks in the old lore was that NYC's cemeteries have been picked clean and a growing group of starving Ghouls began to hunt and dine on pedestrians, bums, hookers and commuters. TGL's Ghouls are also KKK so they only eat White corpses but nobody knows how they sense any Non-White blood. Their black as midnight colored god Nyogtha however is A-OK with Non-White flesh.
4. This version of Nyogtha is slowly consuming the core of our planet which will eventually cool down but Tynes ignored the doomer cult with the living Swedish troll doll at the helm and went for the usual targets instead.
5. The scenario besmirches an existing family and turns them into monstrous cannibals. The affluent Venables were heavily involved in the Second Klan but it's still a dick move IMHO and could end in a defamation lawsuit.
6. It portrays Stone Mountain Park as some kind of Six (Confederate) Flags even though its real website is chock full of diversity, has zero rebel flags anywhere and the famous carving is basically tucked away.
7. It turns the liberal yuppie, 25% Non-White Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta into a cartoonishly absurd, lily-white Neo-Confederate haven. Mind you that DeKalb county where it's located hasn't voted Republican since Reagan and Heels Up Harris won by 80+%. The tunnels under the elite neighborhood hide an ossuary of defiled Union skeletons and a smaller, Dixiefied version of the Lincoln Monument. Jeff Davis with the decapitated head of Lincoln in his hand, gunshot wound and all. This part is so farcical that I was almost expecting gray luxury cars named after the horses of Confederate Generals and expensive TVs blasting
Gone with the Wind, Shirley Temple's
The Littlest Rebel for the kiddies and
Gods and Generals 24/7.
8. One of the red herrings is a conspiracy theory that the Atlanta child murders were committed by White racists and the police doesn't give a fuck about missing pickaninnies.
9. All members of the Druid Hills police are White supremacists and affiliated with various far-right militias.
10. Tynes has never heard of urban exploration or fucking Google Street View in his sad life because one Venable from the younger generation who is currently morphing into a Ghoul is allegedly a student of a Michigan (worst Neo-Confederates ever BTW) boarding school that turns out to be an abandoned nuthouse if the Agents decide to check the address.
11. The Agents receive grenades to blow up their own or their fallen companions' heads to avoid brain consumption therefore memory absorption. Wouldn't it be easier to send in Agents Enrique, Weiwei, Gupta and Jamal who are off the menu?
There's probably more that I forgot. You could riff every second or third page.
