SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Police procedural type campaigns?

Quote from: Toadmaster;1062821I'm sure they are, Pinkerton was 10x what the most out there tin foil hat brigade member worried Blackwater might become. I'm sure they make great what if fodder for a distopian vision of the old west.

Well I'm not GMing... so we'll see.

I'm playing the Chinese manservant of another player who is an actual Pinkerton agent, and we're starting in Salt Lake City investigating the disappearance of another agent. What the other players don't know is that I'm a Shaolin monk that is being hunted by a crazy Christian religious sect of Chinese converts that destroyed my temple. And they might be the same people behind the disappearance.

Savage Worlds has a whole book dedicated to Pinkerton... I'm avoiding reading it because I want it all to unfold in-game. But it looks cool as well. Good times are afoot.
