Summary: Just what I wanted
Review: After getting and reading the Delta Green book, I was very impressed, but left wanting more. The main DG book has a lot of detail, but it's scope is a bit limited - the main adversaries available are MJ-12, the Karotechia, the Fate, the Mi-Go, and that's about it. There is a lot of terrific, well-researched info on these four, but I wanted more options. More options is what Countdown provides. The bulk of the large book is taken up by thorough, detailed descriptions of more organizations, much like the ones in the original book. These add a wealth of additional details and possibilities to the game world. If you're going to run a DG game, you definitely want to have this book!

Summary: PAGAN DOES IT AGAIN
Review: I didn't think that there would be another RPG supplement as well written and designed as the original Delta Green sourcebook, but, happily, I was wrong. This book surpasses even the first one. The section on Hastur is the high point.

Summary: An essential supplement for Call of Cthulhu!
Review: If you already have Delta Green, Countdown should be your next purchase (if you don't have Delta Green, BUY IT!!!). Countdown adds write-ups for PISCES (Britain), GRU SV-8 (Russia), The Skoptsi, The Outlook Group, Phenomen-X, Keepers of the Faith (Ghouls), and a new look at The Hastur Mythos. Add rules for the Gift (Psychic Powers) and international templates from all over the world and you have a book that would be cheap at twice the price!!Pagan Publishing has done it again!!!

Summary: A CoC supplement that kicks ... and takes names...
Review: Well worth the seemingly hefty price. In addition to containing source material that benefits *any* modern-day game (e.g. details on international law-enforcement agencies), it includes expansions on things alluded to in the main Delta Green book, such as the Army of the Third Eye, and new icky horrors like the Skoptsi. There is also wonderful information on ghoul society and on the "King in Yellow"/Hastur mythos, concluding with "Night Floors," which is in my opinion one of the best damn adventures ever written.

Summary: A Dark, Frantically Phenomenal Experience
Review: Words do very little justice in describing how detailed and rich this accessory makes any Delta Green campaign. Countdown provides page after page of deliciously bizarre, horrific nasties that will keep players enticed for years of game play. It's so good you'll feel your sanity slipping from your grip with each new conspiracy and threat.
