Covert Ops

In the realm of Shan State, 1998 was a year that exerted more than the usual stresses and strains on the world’s counter-espionage and covert operations organizations. A global threat emerged that had to be suppressed, and kept away from the public since they’d surely panic if it knew the truth.

Coming up to the Millennium, the placards of the doom-sayers might just have been right. Could the end of the world really be nigh? And if so, what could the best and brightest (and most secretive) of the people on the unofficial government payroll do about it?

Overview

     The Special Projects Administration had been around for a long time before 1998, and its agents had seen a lot of weird stuff in those years. In 1999, though, evidence came to light of a systematic worldwide attempt to infiltrate human civilization at all levels. The enemy, some kind of coalition of supernatural individuals, seemed intent on getting operatives into all walks of life, and there were thousands of them turning up.

     Every SPA agent was hauled into the office and briefed by the SPA Director, Roberta Jane Carlyle. The mission parameters were simple – to find, capture, or eliminate all supernatural operatives on US soil. In the UK, Israel and Japan, Carlyle’s counterparts were giving the same briefing for their men and women.

     It was nothing short of a covert war between mankind and the supernaturals. By 1999, it was clear that the enemy had a base it was striking from, and someone would have to go behind enemy lines, and from there conclude this new invisible war.

The Book

Later in 2010, expect to see a new realm book for the Savage Suzerain (external link)

RPG that will be called... Covert Ops. What's Covert Ops? Well, here's the back cover text as a little teaser:

     It’s 1998 and monsters don't exist. They’re the stuff of legend and myth, right? Wrong. This world is filled with supernatural creatures just itching to enslave humanity or wipe it off the face of the Earth.

     Only the world’s finest agents stand between the supernatural horror and an unsuspecting public. Outfitted with the best technology and tradecraft, it's time to get to work.

     Wear the tuxedo, load the Walther PPK, and save the world!

     Inside you’ll find all you need to create characters in this unique Covert Ops setting, a wealth of background information, gadgets and espionage equipment, a plot point campaign, 20 Savage Tales, and stats for all manner of new NPCs, government organizations, evil masterminds and creatures of legend to use as allies and adversaries.
