Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 3395680" data-attributes="member: 7177">Sort of, though it actually predates X-Files in its earliest incarnation.It borrows strongly from UFO lore, explains the secret government conspiracy theory, and what precisely the Greys are and how they fit into the Mythos.l[spoiler]The Greys are little more than automatons of the Mi-Go, who wanted human allies who would cover up their experiments. They found them in Majestic, a group that was founded by the US government after the Roswell "crash" (actually a fake provided by the Mi-Go as an "intelligence test", and in the 1980s entered a compact with them, posing as the Grey. They feed them tech and knowledge in exchange for cooperation, though Majestic has no true understanding of the Mythos - to them, they are simply dealing with extraterrestrials.Oh, and after Bush Senior left office, Majestic has decided not to inform Clinton about their existence "for reasons of national security". Since Delta Green was written during the Clinton era, later political developments have not been incorporated - though such topics are a frequent point of discussion on the Delta Green Mailing List. The Steering Comittee of Majestic is now lead by someone who uses the technology for his business interests - and now desperately pushes them for medical advances to treat his cancer, no matter what the human cost. The other members of the Council are also fairly morally dubious, with one or two exceptions...[/spoiler]Delta Green used to be a US government agency that was originally created during WWII for "occult-related psychological warfare" as a part of the OSS, but was disbanded after the invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, which they used as a cover for their own activities (an operation that got very wrong indeed). Now the group continues to exist - as an illegal conspiracy within multiple US law enforcement agencies who use and abuse government resources to fight the Mythos. They use a cell structure to keep the group secret. This setup allows for a neat explanation just why investigators should come together to investigate Mythos incidents, and allows for plausible explanations for the arrival of replacements if one member dies or is otherwise removed from the picture.That's the gist of it, but there's an awful lot of detail in that book that covers the details - plus several other groups the PCs might get involved with.Two adventures and a mini-campaign with fairly high stakes.</blockquote>
