Delta Green’s job is protecting this nation from threats terrestrial or otherwise. Now it is time for their most difficult job yet: Cleanup Duty. In the quiet corners of the USA Green Boxes are leaking. These Pandora’s Boxes slowly poison surrounding communities with their other worldly knowledge. It is up to the players to investigate, contain, and secure the secrets of both the Green Box and the Communities they infect. May God be with you. This session was run at GenCon 2017 and is a playtest of a longer campaign Travis is currently developing.

If interested, reply in the comments below, he will be happy to throw more bodies at the problem. Just like Delta Green.

This game was recorded in a noisy con space and the audio suffered as a result.
