Some pregenerated sets of characters can be found here.

DGGen is a program written in Python to generate characters for the pen-and-paper roleplaying game Delta Green from Arc Dream Publishing. It follows the character creations rules included in Delta Green:Need to Know and the Delta Green Agent's Handbook. The ReportLab library is required. Characters are created one-per-page (if unequipped) or two-per-page into a PDF. (The second-page of the character sheet is included as the final page in the PDF if characters are generated unequipped.) By default, characters of alternating genders are created in each of the following professions:

• Anthropologist
• Business Executive
• Computer Science
• Criminal
• Engineer
• Federal Agent
• Firefighter
• Foreign Service Officer
• Historian
• Intelligence Analyst
• Intelligence Case Officer
• Lawyer
• Marine
• Media Specialist
• Nurse
• Paramedic
• Physician
• Pilot
• Police Officer
• Program Manager
• Sailor
• Scientist
• Soldier
• Special Operator

(Edit data/professions.json to alter the professions generated, or the number of characters generated per profession.)

By default, the generator uses data from data/professions.json to define professions, and the number of characters generated for each. Different sets of professions can be used with the --professions flag. See data/professions-fbi.json as an example, or you can create your own.

Pre-built examples include data/professions-fbi.json, data/professions-cia.json, data/professions-dea.json, and data/professions-socom.json.

The following character sheet images were graciously provided by Simeon Cogswell, designer for Delta Green:

• Character Sheet NO BACKGROUND.pdf
• Character Sheet NO BACKGROUND BACK.jpg
• Character Sheet NO BACKGROUND FRONT.jpg

Big thank you to Simeon and the folks at Arc Dream Publishing for the support.

Set up a virtual environment

We use venv to isolate our dependencies from any other Python projects that we might be working on. We only need to do this once.

python3 -m venv .venv

Activate an existing virtual environment.

source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

pip install -U -r requirements.txt

Generate standard characters.
