Delta Green

Delta Green is a setting I never saw when it originally came out. Since my gaming group is playing Call of Cthulhu in the modern age, I'm looking into Delta Green as a resource. Apparently, the core book is out of print and fairly rare. However, if the scenarios are compatible with CoC, I'll use them.

From looking at Wikipedia - Delta Green, it's a setting working from the premise that a group was formed with elements of the US government after the raid on Innsmouth described in Lovecraft's short story, the "Shadow over Innsmouth."

I was on the phone yesterday with Jerry Mapes (see his Sturmegschutz & Sorcery blog link in the links sidebar), and he suggested that Delta Green can also be used as the framework for handling communications between small vigilante groups with little to no government involvement. He did point out that in a modern setting it is inconceivable that the government would have no knowledge or response at all to the Cthulhu mythos, although the government might certainly not have the ability to piece together very much at all.

Anyway, I'm off to the home page for Delta Green (Delta Green to get a better idea about the setting. Shame the books aren't available, but a d20 version is expected ... someday.
