No one knows what’s happening at Rane Fine Art. The gallery had a new show but a riot broke out. At least that’s what the initial 911 calls said. Now, the area around the gallery has gone silent. No first responder who has gone in is still answering their radio. Delta Green activates a team of nearby agents to investigate.

The cast of Pretending to be People, a Delta Green AP podcast, agreed to let me run them through Night Floors, perhaps my single favorite DG scenario. An artist in New York City has gone missing under circumstances unusual enough to merit Delta Green’s attention. A team of FBI agents comb through her apartment building for a clue only to find a mystery that perhaps should not be unraveled.

A man’s body is found, partially cannibalized, near a homeless camp outside Chicago. The killer carved an occult sigil on the body, earning Delta Green’s attention. Two agents are dispatched to find the killer and neutralize any potential vector.

Harlem, New York City, December 1920. Even as the bitter cold envelops the city, Harlem is heating up. A vibrant rent party turns deadly when monstrous attackers show up. In the aftermath, two veterans of World War 1, some of the Harlem Hellfighters, are blamed and arrested. Friends of the veterans try to help them by investigating the attackers, who appeared like undead German soldiers from the War. Something dark stalks the streets of Harlem and only a trio of heroes can stop them!
