re: #290 scottslemmons

There’s an excellent old RPG from about 20 years back called “Delta Green,” which was basically a modern-day setting for “Call of Cthulhu” with a focus on government conspiracies and black-ops missions against the monsters of the Mythos — basically, “Call of Cthulhu” for the “X-Files” era.

I wish I still had the book here instead of filed away in storage, because there was a great section I can’t quite remember entirely that considered who benefited from distrust of government and the media, derided cooperation and empathy with others, and promoted nihilism and sociopathy as societal goals. Those are, after all, absolutely terrible things to promote, the exact opposite of a functioning society. Who, they wondered, who would benefit from mankind becoming “free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy.”

Sounds quite interesting; I’ve never heard of it until now.
