Conspiracy Hunter

PREMISE: A secret cult of political intriguers has taken root in the land and now thy are the ones pulling society's strings. Assassinations, power grabs, the death of democracy... all are symptoms of this secret group's growing power. The Adepts in this story stand against them, but to be successful they will have to play the game, go to ground, and fight the good fight in the shadows.
THEME: Conspiracy Hunter is both a political-military adventure as well as a psychological thriller, it forces players to make tough decisions amid great danger and precious little certainty. 
CRISES: This kind of gaming is all about cloak-and-dagger work. You don't go crawling around dungeons or venturing forth on a mystical quest: in this game you locate informants, collect information on your enemies, follow them to their lairs and than set up an assassination strike. The web of intrigue may be complex but the manner of play is simple: eliminate enough of the enemy until the secret group's web of control begins to falter.
Remember, of course, that while you are hunting them, they are probably hunting you as well. 
RESOLUTION: If you're looking for a huge, celebratory party at the end of this journey you'll be sorely mistaken. If you succeed and the enemy group is destroyed, that frees the people. But if you did you're work properly, there's no record of what you did. That doesn't mean you can't be smug about accomplishing anything, just be realistic about how this will all play out. And remember, once you have one secret power group removed, it is only a matter of time before another moves in. Looks like you picked yourself a career here...
