Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
You remember when your little sister grew an extra head and you took the butt
end of your daddy's shotgun to her until she stopped wailingin alien
tongues? Remember when you thought
that fat headless zombie-thing wouldn't stop growing or mutating or whatever
and you kept peppering the gigantic maggots erupting from it's bloated belly
with buckshot?
Remember when you
suddenly lost control of your body and the buzzing in your brain was so loud
you almost didn't stop whatever was controlling you from blowing your own
damn fool head off with that Remington 870 you picked up off the headless
state trooper's body?
It all started in 1995. One Year
after the Fairfield Incident. Things were crazy, paranoid times full of cell
structures and biohazards. Ahundred damned things popping up needing to be
put down every week. Contaminated towns disappearing off the map, Mob
informants withering and shrivelling right inside FBI "interview" rooms like
fast forwarded Egyptian mummies. Occult graffitti showing up in bad
neighborhoods and good neighborhoods.
I saw the Yellow Sign scrawled
60 feet up the wall across the back alley of a meat packing plant. At least
three bodies worth of human meat in the dumpster. How'd they even get the
blood that high up?
Every night, a different story, a new scenario...
scattershot beads of distilled hellfire scorching new and acute trails of
twisted agony through the raw remnants of human sanity. They come at you all
at once. Not like the well-aimed surgical precision of a sniper, but
like a maniac's spree killing, slaughtering human victims like
diseased
cattle.
Remember that evening on the pier? Two ships coming
in loaded with inhuman monsters? Cargo containers shaking like unstable
bombs... the full moon glaring down with cold light in the frozen night?
Steel rending with a metallic scream?
The story is set in Britain and the characters have all signed the Official Secrets Act. The Gulf War is over. Another is brewing.There is always conflict, only those that saw it first hand can truly judge the headlines.
Maybe there was more to the 1950s nuke tests in the Pacific than "testing". The US military & gov't have known about Deep Ones since the 1928 raid on Innsmouth; maybe they only realized the nature & scale of the threat towards the end of the Great Depression.
We all know that Delta Green did a lot in WW2 under the OSS. But the years from 1947 to 1970 (and especially 1970-1994) remain largely unexplored with a scattershot of interesting tidbits.
During the winter of 1927-1928 a group of U.S. Treasury Department agents conducted an investigation of the population of a small town in Massachusetts known as Innsmouth. After presenting their findings to then-President Calvin Coolidge, a raid on Innsmouth was approved under the code name Project COVENANT...
January 24, 1970: DELTA GREEN clearance and classification is officially deactivated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"The Vietnam War is the foggiest in my own personal experience. Moreover, it is the first war I know of wherein the fog of war is thicker away from the scene of conflict than on the battlefield..." - General Earle Gilmore Wheeler, US Army, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 1964-1970.
