Re: [CTRL] Fiction is stranger than truth?

2000-08-13 Thread tenebroust

AH!  Delta Green.  Well, this is "fiction" writing in the tradition of Lovecraft with 
a modern edge.  Delta Green is a covert and illegal operation within the government of 
the US who views its duty as rooting out the minions of the Old Ones and others of the 
Cthulhu Myth Cycle and stopping their attempts at causing madness and destruction.  I 
highly recommend the books and the web-site.  It is all very interesting stuff, and 
merely fiction. . .but I have often wondered at how the actual events and high 
strangness of history and existence (at least at times) correlates so well with much 
of what Lovecraft started with his so-called myth cycle, as well as by the continued 
propagation of it by countless writers over the years.

You do realise that this is a game, material for the Call of Cthulhu RPG? Delta Green 
is a 1990's setting with a heavy government consiracy angle (a la X files). It's not a 
bad game, but if you're feeling really paranoid about games why not check out the Dark
