Call of Cthulhu is Chaosium's horror roleplaying game based on the literary works of H. P. Lovecraft from the 1920s and 1930s. Delta Green is Pagan Publishing's supplement for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. In essence it is "Call of Cthulhu meets The X-Files" but this does very little justice to the game.
Delta Green postulates that there are aliens among us, with a shadowy organization within the US government covering it up. The players are members of Delta Green, an equally shadowy organization within the US government who's purpose is to protect the world from the aliens, as well as manifestations of the Cthulhu Mythos. There are the usual Cthulhoid baddies (Deep Ones, ghouls, Nyarlathotep), but added to the mix are occult wielding Nazis, Men In Black, weird occult gangsters, and — of course — the stereotypical aliens known as the Greys.

Our roleplaying group formed in the summer of 2003. Allan Goodall posted a message to the player listing service of Yog-Sothoth.com stating that he was looking for Call of Cthulhu players in general, and Delta Green players in particular. Jason Gallagher replied to the listing and said that he and a friend — Jimmy Pope — were interested in playing. The group was formed in August, 2003. The group consists of Jason Gallagher, Alana Goodall, and Jimmy Pope, with Allan Goodall as the Keeper. Jason and Jimmy knew enough about Delta Green that Allan decided that their characters were already members of the Delta Green organization. The initial scenario was designed to bring Alana's character into the organization.
The group is now known as the Crazy 98s after a session where an inordinate number of 98s were rolled on percentage dice.
The Crazy 98s continue to meet about one Saturday a month in Monroe, Louisiana, U.S.A., though the Delta Green campaign that started the group is on indefinite hiaturs.
