QUESTIONS
WHERE DO I START?
Delta Green: Need to Know is a free quickstart rulebook with agents and a scenario, ready to play.
CAN I PUBLISH MY OWN DELTA GREEN MATERIAL?
Within certain important constraints. See "Field Reports & Fan Creations."
DO YOU USE AI FOR ART OR WRITING?
No. Like most published authors, we have had our work scraped from files and fed into other companies' AI services to be reprocessed and spat out without our consent and without paying us for our work. We resent that. We do not do it to other authors. Dennis Detwiller, illustrator for the entire Delta Green RPG line, creates illustrations using Artrage. Before the digital era he used guache. He relies on skills learned in a lifetime of drawing and painting and over 30 years as a professional artist. Dennis is one of many plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against Midjourney for using his work for its own profit. He does not use AI to create art.

ARE NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES CANONICAL?
In Delta Green, nothing is canon. Consider the novels, short stories, and online articles the way you would consider logs or journals of other players’ games, as examples of stories or games which other players have experienced. All players are encouraged to use what materials are appropriate and most effective for their games, whatever the source. Use what works; do what you will with the rest.
