What system were you thinking for the next Leap?
I'd like to take a look at the world/character options in advance.

This is a good site for a general overview of the rules for Swords of the Serpentine.

The Fall of Delta Green takes the premise of the Delta Green RPG and makes it gumshoe. Delta Green was out in the 90's, was a Basic Roleplay system, same of Call of Cthulhu, so d100 skills based. Basically, modern CoC with you as special agents.
It is was redone a few years back, updated, etc. Part of that Kickstarter campaign was The Fall of Delta Green. It takes places in the 60's and uses the Gumshoe rules instead of BRP.

Deception is a right. Truth is a privilege. Innocence is a luxury. Born of the U.S. government’s 1928 raid on the degenerate coastal town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, the covert agency known as Delta Green opposes the forces of darkness with honor, but without glory. Delta Green agents slip through the system, manipulating the federal bureaucracy while pushing the darkness back for another day — but often at a shattering personal cost.https://pelgranepress.com/product/the-fall-of-delta-green/

Swords of the Serpentine is a gumshoe system as well. It is Swords and Sorcery, so think old school literature. It was less about epic battles more about using your wits. Sorcery is never good, and comes at a cost (corruption).
I have played this at a gen con a few years back before they released the book. We were a group of plucky orphans, and the system handled it very well. I have spoken to the designer, because I wanted to get that adventure to run yall though. It is on preorder, which is a shame because I want it NOW! But soon!!

Swords of the Serpentine is a sword & sorcery game of daring heroism, sly politics, and bloody savagery, set in a fantasy city rife with skullduggery and death. The rules adapt the GUMSHOE investigative roleplaying system to create a fantasy RPG with a focus on high-action roleplaying and investigation inspired by the stories of Fritz Leiber, Terry Pratchett, Robert E. Howard, and others.https://pelgranepress.com/product/swords-of-the-serpentine/

I would prefer to run SoftheS first, but really want to run you through the orphan scenario first, which isn't available yet.
I also have a crap ton of Fall of Delta Green, and this group in the 60's...pure gold!
But, probably Swords first, with a small adventure to get us started, then the next leap into the world will be the orphan scenario...
Maybe, probably, who knows!!

The books have been uploaded, posted and pinned.
I also deleted the Esoterrorists book and uploaded the 2nd edition. Some differences.
