Publication history

Shannon Appelcline explained that with the Delta Green setting, "the best-received book was a massive supplement three years in the making, Delta Green: Countdown (1999), in which Detwiller, Glancy, and Tynes massively expanded the setting". [3] : 88  Blair Reynolds pained the cover, and this was his final published work for role-playing games for about a decade. [3] : 90 Delta Green: Countdown had difficulty selling in Germany due to the country's censorship laws and the Nazi imagery present on the cover art. [3] : 85 

Reception

Delta Green: Countdown won the Origins Awards for Best Roleplaying Supplement of 1999. [4]
