[QUOTE="Psion, post: 4859219, member: 172"] THE START/END TIMES ON THIS ONE ARE FLEXIBLE MEET @ EMBASSY LOBBY On Wednesday, I'll be running an early game of Spycraft 2.0. Show up to GenCon early for action! subterfuge! explosions! sneakiness! [s]supernatural horrors from beyond[/s]*. This will be a continuation of last year's FLASHPOINT plotline, though it is not necessary to have played the prior event; you will be briefed. SECRET OF SMITH ISLAND: An idyllic island in the Chesapeake at some point became a "prison without walls" for important intelligence assets. But the events of the prior FLASHPOINT mission indicates that the prisoners may have become the wardens. The FLASHPOINT agents need to infiltrate the compound of a compromised US Intelligence facility to determine just how deep the tendrils of the mysterious man known as FATHER run. Players from prior sessions, please confirm which session you can play in if you have not already done so. All players, feel free to include preferences with regard to starting time, scenario, and agent; prior players get priority with the agents. There may be some new agents, or I can make agents to request or port one from my PbP if you are early enough. FLASHPOINT is a Spycraft mini-campaign, featuring a mix of problem solving, intrigue, investigation, and hair-raising action in a world very much like our own on the surface, but with ancient secrets poised to change the world forever.
