Extraordinary Renditions (new DG story anthology) is good and cool. It has a story set in the great depression dust bowl era that would make for a great No Security scenario.
Picked up Extraordinary Renditions yesterday. Through the first three stories.
I have to be honest. The stories are significantly better than most modern Cthulhu mythos tales. I was a little shocked. I hope the "Delta Green" on the cover doesn't turn the literary away from these stories as "oh that's just game fiction." They are not.
Helps to be next to the internet to look up all the German words/WWII/CIA project details as well.
Yeah, I actually took a while to pick up the Delta Green fiction collections because I remembered White Wolf's output as being .. inconsistent, let's say.
While some DG stories/collections are better than others, I've found them all worth my time. Adam Scott Glancy's "Once more from the top.." (Dark Theatres is the collection) is a fantastic version of the Innsmouth raid.
The Extradordinary Renditions story set in the French countryside was especially effective. I should finish the rest of the collection..
I've actually found that Cthulhu collections are a little more reliable than general horror collections, but that may be due to my taste. At least, "New Tales of the Yellow Sign", "New Cthulhu: the Recent Weird" and what I've read of "The Book of Cthulhu" have all been pretty solid, though NTotYS is the only one where I've read every story.
I was really disappointed with the Sherlock Holmes/Cthulhu mash-up collection "Shadows over Baker Street" though that is not really modern Cthulhu. And it's a tricky balance with Sherlock Holmes' perfect rationality coming up against the unknowable nature of the mythos.
