OK, background:
- John Tynes is the author of Delta Green: Strange Authorities, which is a compilation of John’s Delta Green-themed fiction for the last several years (the publisher is Arc Dream, which puts out a good deal of nice gaming material generally). He is also one of the Names involved with Delta Green generally.
- Delta Green (DG) is an extended supplement/setting/mutant, rugose appendage to the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game generally. DG combines Cthulhu Mythos cosmic horror with government conspiracy, and it is dearly loved for that.
- …I’m not going to explain the Cthulhu Mythos. Go read Cthulhu 101 if you don’t know what the Mythos is; in fact, go read it even if you do know what the Mythos is.
Seeing as I am a roleplaying game geek AND a Cthulhu Mythos fan AND a Delta Green enthusiast… as you can imagine, I was more than happy to interview John about the book, get his thoughts on What Delta Green and the Mythos Means To Us, and tease out a hint or two about the planned update of the game setting. Plus, some hard truths about the gaming industry! – Which believe me, I kind of already knew.
MP3 interview at the link below. I’d like to do more of these, I think: they’re kind of refreshing.
