I expect that this will go up at
AJJE Games over the next couple of days, so I had better advertise it now.
Covert-81 combines three of the areas at I have a great interest in- RPing, espionage and the Cold War, in the form of a play-by-post RPG.
The year is 1981. Détente is in ruins after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. With the SS-20 missile deployment in the Western USSR and the planned NATO counter-deployments, a new, seemingly hard-line US president and a rapidly arming USSR, it seems that nuclear war is closer than ever.
Behind the summits and the rhetoric, shadowy operations are going on. Two black-ops organisations, one on each side of the East-West divide, battle to gain the advantage in this global struggle.
Choose your side:
Section 91, dedicated to protecting Western freedom and democracy, or
Chameleon, aiming to ensure the triumph of Marxism-Leninism.
Inspired by such works as
Firefox,
The A-Team,
MacGyver and the Tom Clancy novels, but with the benefit of hindsight and better accents,
Covert-81 is a tale of espionage, high-technology, betrayal, danger and really, really bad hairdos.
If you're interested, please PM me or post here.
(yes, that's a "Backfire"- from the
DIA Military Art Collection)
