“The world is not what it seems. Most people don’t realize how dangerous it has become, but things are about to change. Psychics and bio-augmented humans work as spies and soldiers on behalf of criminal organizations, private military companies, and secret societies in a covert war that has raged for decades. Some fight for control and power, while others seek to shape the future.
In the middle of this conflict stands the worldwide clandestine organization known as the “Special Executive Assault and Recon”—or “SPEAR.” Its mission is to track and neutralize biological and psychic threats and prevent the world from falling into chaos.

“Over the last couple of weeks, there have been several sightings of a huge black dog near the Welsh village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The locals speak about a mythical “gwyllgi,” but most people suspect it’s just a feral mastiff, if not an elaborate prank.

You are members of the “Supernatural and Horror Society,” and you’re looking for some excitement!”

| “Over 40 years ago, the Witch Armies poured down from the Darkwall Peaks, monstrous banes and cruel mercenaries led by the Witches of the Grand Coven, and accompanied by the Accursed—mortal men and women forced into servitude, their physical bodies warped and mutated through terrible magic.
After decades of war, the heroes of the Alliance managed to strike down one of the Witches, bringing an abrupt end to the conflict. Half of the Grand Coven fled back to the Darkwall Peaks, leaving their creations to fend for themselves. Finally freed from their shackles, many of the Accursed stepped forward to defend the nations of Morden from the tyrannical reign of the remaining Witches.

“The sprawling megalopolis of the near-future is a dystopian urban hellscape, ruled by the wealthy elite. Megacorporations control the markets and flaunt the law with impunity, employing private armies to protect their interests and pursue their goals. Glittering towers stretch into the polluted sky, their bright neon signs and video panels broadcasting an endless cycle of advertisements. This ostentatious display of wealth contrasts starkly against the abject poverty of the lower city.
Life is cheap in the grimy streets of the Sprawl, where downtrodden citizens struggle daily to survive, and everything has a price. Gangs, drug dealers, and other criminals prowl the...

“Forty years ago, 50,000 people aboard the Horizon2 woke from cryo-sleep to find themselves on the wrong planet—their spaceship had been lying below the waves of a water giant for almost seventy years!
The vessel was soon converted into an underwater habitat using its mining equipment and small onboard factories; the colonists named it “Nautilus,” after a story from an old Earth book. Explorers headed out into the depths in small submarines, returning with stories of ferocious aquatic beasts, rich mineral deposits, and mysterious sounds. Small mining, farming, and fishing habitats soon started springing up as the colonists expanded their operations further into th...

“During the First World War, there were many spooky tales from the Western Front—from ghostly soldiers marching into battle to terrible monsters feasting on the living. Dismissed by the officers as fanciful delusions, these eerie accounts nevertheless found a captive audience back home.
The eccentric philanthropist Sir Arthur Eldritch became obsessed with the stories, researching them in earnest once the war had ended. In 1923, he founded the Eldritch Institute, a top-secret organization dedicated to investigating paranormal activities and protecting humanity from supernatural threats.

The fire department trains and equips its teams to protect lives and property—extinguishing fires and rescuing civilians from dangerous situations.

“While King Richard was away fighting in the crusades, his scheming younger brother took control of London in an attempt to usurp the throne. Prince John exiled or executed those loyal to the king and appointed his flunkies to positions of power, including the notorious Sheriff of Nottingham.
Yet not everyone fled or stood by idly. Some chose to defy the cruel prince and take a stand against his oppressive rule, becoming champions of the people. The most famous of these heroes were Robin Hood and his Merry Men, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor—but many others took up the noble cause as well, fighting back against the prince’s tyranny and the sheriff’s pe...

But the fledgling government is still young, and remnants of the former empire continue to operate on the fringes of society, just as new criminal organizations have clawed their way up to fill the power vacuum.
These are hard and lawless times, and the bounty hunter’s guild has plenty of work available, although most of it is dangerous and unsavory. Competition for the highest-paying jobs can be fierce and bloody, however—particularly when multiple bounty hunters pursue the same target.

“With the discovery of faster-than-light travel, humanity rapidly spread to distant star systems and began colonizing other worlds. Alien life proved to be primitive and posed no real threat to human technology. But that all changed a decade ago, when humans made first contact with the Xenos.
The Xenos are an aggressive species of interstellar conquerors who ruthlessly wipe out their rivals. As human forces struggled against the invasion of organic warships and bioengineered mutants, scientific minds developed a new weapon to help turn the tide—giant armored robots controlled by human pilots, wielding a fearsome array of weapons and powered by self-recharging energy...

Within days of capturing the ship, a terrible curse befell the entire crew. Blaming the captain for their predicament, the pirates marooned him, hoping to break the curse—but their efforts achieved nothing.
