The Swing: Men in Black http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=5527&SRC=ENWorld
As a rock on the seashore he standeth firm, and the dashing of the waves disturbeth him not. He raiseth his head like a tower on a hill, and the arrows of fortune drop at his feet. In the instant of danger, the courage of his heart sustaineth him; and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out. - Aristotle
Throughout the ages, an organization has existed, that has at its heart the idea that mankind can not be trusted with the responsibility of emotional, spiritual and mental growth - that mankind must be coddled like a child. This agency works for no government, nor for any private group, although it has been known to employ them to reach its own goals.
Whenever something arises that threatens to show humanity the potential it holds, reveals universal secrets or exposes ideas and concepts long thought to be impossible, they arrive to "spin" the incident to their own mechanisms. Sometimes they use threats, sometimes they just plant doubt, and sometimes it becomes necessary to eliminate the threat to their blueprint completely.
Throughout history they have been given many names (although not as original as one would have thought):
• Native Americans had the "Black Man".
• During Elizabethan England they were called "Black Men".
• In the late Nineteenth Century they appeared as traveling salesmen.
• In the mid Twentieth Century they appeared as the "Men in Black" of UFO conspiracies and cover-ups.
People have come up with many theories as to who the Men in Black really are
• Some think that they are government agents.
• Some think that they are alien agents.
• Some think they aren't alive at all - crude replicas or disguises animated by energy reserves that run low quickly.
What do they want? What are their motives? Who is behind them?
The Swing: Men in Black requires the use of The Swing: Reality Guide ( http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=458&products_id=2256&SRC=ENWorld ) published by 93 Games Studio.
