CONSPIRACY

SubRosa

The Conspiracy Creation Sourcebook

CONSPIR A CY

SubRosa

From the darkness, they watch and scheme.

In secrecy, they operate.

Most people are unaware that hundreds of organizations are involved in subversive activities. Conspiracy

theorists and intelligence agencies overstate their power, or discount them as insignificant. Among the

shadowy agents of Aegis and Black Book, they are treated as pawns to be used and discarded.

We are blind to the effects their actions have on us.

Across the country, meeting for the first time in a back office, five CEOs gather to plant the seeds to

undermining an entire economy. In another the time zone, a coalition of churches instructs its faithful to

implement the second stage in a manipulation of the commodity markets. Just around the corner, an

acquaintance places the last call securing his control over your bank.

They are a stranger across town, a co-worker,

a friend, even your spouse.

Inside Sub Rosa, you will find:

• The nature of conspiracies and how they work

• Complete rules for creating secret societies and overt organizations

• Fully detailed groups, including Church of Coatl, Directorate X, PUPPET and more

• A new look at Influence, and two new types: Paranormal and Civilian

• Over 100 professions, both inside and outside government

• More than 150 pulling strings, different for each character

• Complete charts of skills, trainings, traits & resources with page references, including many new entries
