I realize product blurbs are naturally short and vague but is the game supposed to be fighting terrorists, or Cthulhu?
(Both could be interesting of course)

Agents of Oblivion is rather like Hellboy or Delta Green. It's James Bond meets Cthulhu. Kolchak the Nightstalker, if he was a CIA agent. Superspies vs. hideous beasties.

Sounds perfect to me.

That's the trouble with writing teasers for horror-espionage, isn't it? You want to attract people, but you don't want to give everything away. An accurate summation follows: You could say it follows a James Bond style motif of the classic spy type set-up- a satellite has fallen and disappeared and the group must retrieve it- there is the classic arch villain and there are elements of a black ops operation that plays out in the better sessions with the tension of Splinter Cell. Then, you intersperse this with some encounters with the paranormal and supernatural and allusions towards the end of the Forgotten Ones and you have an adventure that keeps the characters on their toes that typically plays out over a time frame of anywhere from 6-8 hours depending on your group.

I hope this helps give you a better feel for the adventure.

Sounds perfect to me.

Thanks. I call the genre horror-espionage for short.
