This is a great hack of Graham Walmsley's "Cthulhu Dark" by way of Delta Green. Ford manages to take what's most essential to telling a great Delta Green story and mash it up with the Walmsley's ultra-light game of Mythos investigation. It's a great way to skip the extensive skill and equipment lists and get down to deciding what you're willing to sacrifice to keep the world safe from the Mythos.

If you like rules-light, improvisational games that get out of your way and let you and your players focus on telling a good story, this game is for you!

This book is one of the best RPG settings I've read and run in my twenty-five plus years as a gamer. The PCs have to battle with the cosmic evil of the Great Old Ones while also dealing with banality of human evil, protecting their community from both. Chris Spivey and his team have done an excellent job bringing Harlem and it's residents to life!

I was on the fence about OSR-style games. I could certainly see the value in a lighter rules set, but why would I want an antique? As I started reading through White Lies I began to see the beauty of it. Most gamers already know the basics of it, they can roll up a character and get going right away. I began thinking I could use it to run games in a number of different settings, Leverage, The A-Team, Firefly, and the list just keeps going. There are a slew of tables for creating adversaries and their motivations and organizations to use as a springboard when my well of creativity is running dry. It even includes an intial adventure making it a great complete package at 132 pages. If you want a rules lite spy game that gives you plenty of room to create and hack and improvise it's hard to beat White LIes.
