Trail of Delta Green?

[tutunaku]

Has anyone used GUMSHOE to run Delta Green?
I've only recently gotten into the setting, having picked up Targets of Opportunity, an am itching to run a game online. However, I am not actually familiar enough with d100 to be able to run it using that system. I do, however, know GUMSHOE well. So, if anyone has used it for Delta Green, how did it go?

Wouldn't this be similar to running Esoterrorists?

The first GUMSHOE Mythos game I, and possibly anyone, ran was Artifact Zero from Project Rainbow. It worked fine. For all combat and spy options Night's Black Agents would be a very sound place to start.

I'm using the Dunwich Sanction and Special Assets versions of Night's Black Agents to run my DG game, and it's going pretty well. I haven't used either the Thriller Chase or Heat rules yet, but I want to.

We started with ToC, though, importing certain skills from Esoterrorists/NBA when needed (like Electronic Surveillance), and it wasn't much of an issue.

Yeah, generally all you need is to sort out the list of abilities, perhaps some different drives. You should decide what is investigative and what is general (I.e. action scenes).

I'm currently converting 'Night Floors' into Trail of Cthulhu. Simultaneously, I'm adapting it to London, 1928 as prologue to Tatters (which I'm also converting). Seems pretty straightforward.

I agree with those who suggested Nights Black Agents or a Trail/NBA hybrid for Delta Green generally, and the Project Covenant campaign frame looks like a great pre-cursor.

ToC's smaller range of skills means that agent templates should be based on their main activity rather than their actual employer (otherwise a lot of them will look similar). To that effect I have a list of functions a la NBA I am kicking around.

Tutunaku, I'd be all over a game online if you are considering one.

When I ran it with TOC I actually let them choose employers out of the core book, and then just decided on occupational abilities on the spot.
