We're Black Flare, a Delta Green actual play podcast.
Black Flare is a podcast where we play Delta Green, a Lovecraftian conspiracy horror roleplaying game set in the modern day. An atmospheric and suspenseful story unravels through improvised group storytelling, with (largely character-based) humor interspersed. The setting is fictional, but the players are just as thrilled and afraid as you, the listener.
Our first season takes place at Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, in the year 2006. This mission is based on an original Scenario created by Bird Bailey, with additions by the handler, Arin, and our executive producer, Caleb.
Our character players are completely new to the Delta Green system and all its secrets. Arin and Caleb pull the strings and are well versed in the Delta Green lore.
Experience with any tabletop roleplaying games need not be required to enjoy the podcast, and the rules of the game are explained to the audience whenever relevant over the course of the series. For further information, check out Episode Zero, an optional explainer episode.
Additionally, Black Flare is fully scored by Andy Gryc, and the dark ambient soundtrack is available now!
