By Dennis Detwiller, © 2012 I receive a lot of email about my gaming methods in Call of Cthulhu. It’s nice to be known as a heartless killing machine when it comes to Keeperdom; I take it as a compliment. Many people have praised/complained about my style of scenario creation as well.

By Dennis Detwiller, © 2012 Is there another realm beyond that of earth, but counterminious with it? A realm of thought, formed by the dreams of humans and other creatures? If there is, in Delta Green, you can be certain it is composed primarily of nightmares. If we say that, yes, bey

By Dennis Detwiller, © 2012 Something is wrong with Indian Hill, Vermont. It’s been wrong a long, long time. The Indians knew it. The Pennacook cursed the land and told people not to settle there, even after they were treated as squatters in their own country. They called the one bald

By Dennis Detwiller, © 2012. I’ve talked to a lot of people who have different experiences with Delta Green. Some play it like a Michael Bay movie, or a Marvel comic. It’s their game, and they can do what they want, but… they’re missing out. A lot of people know the real meat and pota
