I just got my newly-printed d20 Delta Green in the mail today! Autographed, hardcover, total Cthulhu-eats-Mulder-&-Scully goodness! This is going to be FUN.

...and I was just thinking, "this awesome tome deserves front page coverage!”...and voila, there it is!

Could you give a review of the D20 containt. Do you need d20 CoC or are all the rules in the book?

I'll write one up tonight.
--Very quickly: If you are a fan of the classic Chaosium _Call of Cthulhu_ or the d20 WotC edition, then _Delta Green_ will literally change the way you play, motivating your investigations into believable, realistic and exciting adventures.
This edition of _Delta Green_ is dual system, so the BRP stats are right beside the d20 stats, which means, of course, you can use it for both the Chaosium and WotC editions of CoC.
To play you need this sourcebook and either a _Call of Cthulhu_ core rulebook or the d20 edition. The Chaosium Core Rulebooks and the d20 CoC are complete game systems, and no other books are required.
Can you use the Delta Green d20 sourcebook without the CoC rulebooks? Yes, if you play a d20 game, you simply use _Delta Green_ as a d20 sourcebook.
Additionally, keep in mind that by its very nature it’s, well, source-heavy (that is, lots of very exciting reading) and crunch-lite. Do you enjoy Mythos stories? _The X-files_ and _Millennium_? Grand conspiracies and secret government organizations? Is it believable that in 1965 the CIA tried to recruit and arm a tribe of Tcho-tchos in Indochina because they were actively hunting and killing communist in the area? Could the US Navy have led an assault on a Nazi sub in Antarctica, capturing lead scientists working to reverse engineer Mi-Go machinery? If so, this book is for you. Don’t really want to play CoC? This book is still for you—it’s that interesting a read.
More to come…

"The mission isn't over...the mission is NEVER over."
Hmm, Autographed. How'd that happen? My "Autograph" came in a "sorry it took so long" letter back in March. I'd been hounding them pretty heavily since GenCon last year. Was supposed to get a free PDF, but aparently they don't hold all the rights and not everyone was satisfied with the security options they had available.
Yeah, I'm bitter. I waited a year and a half and the communication from Tynes Cowan was horrible at best.
Looks like Paizo is out of it now. I just checked and it said "unavailable".
They apparently had a very limited lot of books. Considerable printer issues that almost turned into a lawsuit with the people they teamed up with to get a discount on the printing.

I have been bugging Scott for going on three years (at least a couple emails a month). I, and something like 24 other squeaky wheels, had our noms written on “Hello, I’m” nametags and stuck on a sawdust dummy, which was then shot with an AK-47. If our nametag was riddled, we got a new, autographed book. In their defense, Delta Green isn’t the only thing they do, and they had some major issues with the Chinese printer service they used (good luck to Paizo), but you’re right...they’re not very good at checking their email.
