This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Looks really cool. Does this game also have playable splats or are all the factions enemies?
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!

Not all the factions are "enemies". There are other groups besides the Invisible College, usually that came out of other cultures, who have very similar aims to the College.
But the IC rulebook does not have 'splats' for any groups aside from the Invisible College, only some general guidelines to the type of training these groups would have, and some NPC/opponent stats in the 'monster' section.

But in theory, somewhere down the road, I could imagine supplements that could expand on the structures and playable details of the other 'friendly' groups, some of the national Occult Intelligence divisions (I would love to do a sourcebook sometime about MI13, or The Kanaim), and maybe even some of the 'enemy' groups (the Choronzon Club would certainly be a laugh).

Cool! So friendly groups, enemy groups and spy agencies in between. I will wait for those other videos you will make about this game. I am a sucker for this sort of stuff, so sooner or later I will add it to my collection.

Well, I'll point out there's never been a better time to get The Invisible College!  The book was already available in softcover black & white and softcover color, but as of today The Invisible College is also available in Color Hardcover and Premium Color Hardcover!

Wouldn't a game based on "The Invisible College" be a bit transparent?
I'm 55. My profile won't record this. It's only right younger members know how old I am.

That link was rather convenient!

I was holding out for the hardcover. Hopefully Drive-thru will be on the quicker side of their delivery estimates...
