Licensee Spotlight: The Secret Files of Section D
Now on Kickstarter, The Secret Files of Section D is a Savage Worlds-powered, pulp-inspired, espionage roleplaying game from Ace license, Imaginarium Games.
This setting opens during the highly classified files of the British Secret Intelligence Service of the late 1930s.
Players take on the roles of agents who have been recruited from all walks of life, to SIS Section D, for very specific purposes. As far as most civil servants and a select few public officials know, Section D’s mission is to gather intelligence on threats to the Empire and prepare for clandestine operations in the event of war.
Section D also has a much more secretive and dangerous agenda, though.
Nazi Pseudo-Science is real, magic is real, and miracles happen. Aliens have not only visited Earth; some are still here. Atlantis didn’t sink into the sea, it flew away. A long, long way away. Yetis and Sasquatch stalk high mountains while the ancient beast beneath Loch Ness gets careless in her old age and was photographed in 1934. Secretive and sinister organizations influence the world, politically and financially, without holding power anywhere, and ancient pharaohs were buried deep for a reason.
The British Government needs information on these phenomena and the Secret Intelligence Service has been tasked with gathering it!
Inside the core rulebook, you’ll find a Player’s Section containing:
- An introduction to Section D and being an Agent
- New Setting Rules
- New Edges and Hindrances
