# Introduction

Originally published back in 1987 by TSR Inc., *Top Secret/S.I.* is an rpg with its foundations in the Espionage Genre. James Bond, Jason Bourne, Man from U.N.C.L.E. Atomic Blonde, Mission Impossible, and even TV shows like Leverage, Berlin Station or Counterpart could be considered to fall into that overall Genre.<br/><br/>The setting of *Top Secret S.I.* is a modern setting, albeit a more action-oriented/cinematic one than our everyday, relatively uneventful one.

\columnbreak

<div class='note'><h4>Original Introduction</h4><br/>
There's a war going on. It isn't the kind of war most of us are familiar with, but it's a war nonetheless. This isn't a war fought by armies, or tanks, or planes, or ships; it's a war fought by shadowy figures who walk the same streets we do, eat the same food, wear the same clothes. Your neighbor may be one of the combatants, or your teacher, or your best friend. Unless you're one of them, you'll never know. And what is this war about? Is it Americans fighting Soviets for reasons understood only by politicians? Is it a war between capitalists and socialists? Is it a war for land and natural resources? Yes to all of these . . . and no.<br/><br/>
This shadow war is a war of good versus evil.<br/><br/>
You're about to enter this shadow world, become one of the combatants in this war, learn what's really going on. You'll enter this world not for fame and glory — you won't be able to tell anyone of your glorious victories (or occasional failures) — you'll enter this world because you must, because evil must be stopped, because if you don't do it, no one will. Welcome to the top secret world of international espionage!<br/><br/>
The world you have chosen to enter is a dangerous one, crawling with terrorists, revolutionaries, assassins, spies, and counter-spies. In the *Top Secret/S.I,™* game, you will take the role of a secret agent, a commando, or some other type of adventurer, and embark on a series of perilous missions, missions in which the fate of the world may hang in the balance.</div>

# Setting Specifics
## Tropes

*“Espionage is a game. A deadly game to be sure, but a game nonetheless. And all games have rules.”*

### All The World's A Stage
Missions don't often happen in Hoboken New Jersey or Otumwa Iowa. They take place in Monte Carlo (Monaco), Tokyo (Japan), Lisbon (Portugal), Berlin (Germany)  or Seattle (Washington, US).

They also don't tend to occur at the Seven-Eleven or the corner gas station. whenever possible, the tendency is for exotic or unusual locales to come into play. Casinos, banks, hotels, and offices on a very high floor of an office building are often some of the locations in these places which make them memorable.

### No Such Agency
This is the most intractable tenet of the operative’s code. Revealing your enemies’ existence to the authorities, media, or other parties certainly restricts and complicates their missions — but it affects yours as well. By removing outside influences, the Great Game of espionage becomes a contest of skill and daring that only the boldest and most cunning can survive.

Those who violate this precept of the code rarely last long. They are often preemptively eliminated by their enemies to prevent exposure, and even allies place little stock in those who do not respect the covert nature of espionage operations.

### Business is Business
Grudges between spies are inevitable, but taking a grievance into the private sector benefits no one. Oaths of vengeance and personal vendettas lead to distraction and dereliction of duty. Were this allowed to occur, the espionage world would quickly slip into chaos as operatives abandoned their roles to fulfill perceived affronts.

### Cultures (Intellect)

__Focuses__ : *Central America, Eastern Asia (including China), Eastern Europe (including Russia), Northern Africa, Northern America (including Greenland), Oceania (including Australia), South America, Southern Africa, Southern Asia (including Southeast Asia), Western Asia (including the Middle East), Western Europe.*

Every character begins with their home culture. By purchasing the Cultures skill you learn how to blend into those other specific cultures, including the languages. Choose one additional culture focus for each rank taken. Instead of singular languages you learn a broader skill that covers both languages and culture.

### Research (Intellect)
When you don't know the answer to something, sometimes it's important to know where to find the answer or how to look for the answer. In that case, Research is the needed skill.

### Knowledge (Common)
This is the knowledge skill used for anything not covered by the other two. Everyday trivia, obscure general knowledge, etc.

### Knowledge (Education)
This is the knowledge skill to represent Academic or the "School Of Hard Knocks" knowledge.

### Knowledge (Tradecraft)
Knowledge of anything related to the setting's premise. This might be "Spycraft" for persons, places or things related to espionage or this might be "Crimecraft" for activities or things related to criminal activities (such as Cons, organizations, etc.).

# Character Creation
Creating characters for the *Top Secret/S.I.* setting is simple. With few exeptions most campaign concepts exists in the modern times (late 1960's to 2020) so anything in the *Genesys Core Rulebook* which is considered part of the Modern Setting is applicable here. (Anything that is different will be specifically called out as such.)

Because computers and hacking are so prevalent in such a setting, the Hacking alternate rules will applicable as well. In some campaigns, the Vehicle alternate rules may have use as well.

## Step 1: Background
Nothing has changed here. With such a modern setting, a very wide variety of backgrounds can be made to fit the game. Whether a high school student on vacation in a foreign country who unwittingly functions as a courier for data that foreign agencies are willing to kill for, a former military officer brought in to assist with negotiations in an environment or with an individual he may have fought with (or against), or a agent as part of a covert government agency working with several others, anything is possible. The possibilities are endless.

## Step 2: Archetypes
The only archetype used as-is from the Core RUles is the *Average Human* archetype. In addition, the following archetypes are available.

### Tough (A.K.A Laborer, Hitter or Brute)
The tough archetype represents a character who has a background in some form of manual labor, and who is generally strong and tough. You should choose this archetype if you’re planning on making a character who focuses on fighting, especially fighting in melee combat. You should also choose this archetype if your character has a background of manual labor and hard work.

* __Wound Threshold:__ 12 + Brawn
* __Strain Threshold:__ 8 + Willpower
* __Starting Experience:__ 100
* __Starting Skills:__ A tough starts with one rank in Resilience during character creation. They obtain this rank before spending experience points, and may not increase Resilience above rank 2 during character creation.

\columnbreak

* __Tough As Nails:__ Once per session, your character may spend a Story Point as an out-of-turn incidental immediately after suffering a Critical Injury and determining the result. If they do so, they count the result rolled as “01.”

### Athlete (A.K.A. Agile, Thief, Mover)
The athlete archetype represents a character who has a background in some form of athletic endeavor such as Running, Cycling, or Gymnastics, or who is generally limber and agile. You should choose this archetype if you’re planning on making a character who focuses on moving around quietly or ranged combat.

* __Wound Threshold:__ 10 + Brawn
* __Strain Threshold:__ 10 + Willpower
* __Starting Experience:__ 100
* __Starting Skills:__ An athlete starts with one rank in Athletics during character creation. They obtain this rank before spending experience points, and may not increase Athletics above rank 2 during character creation.

* __Wound Threshold:__ 8 + Brawn
* __Strain Threshold:__ 12 + Willpower

### Strategist (A.K.A Planner, Mastermind, Overwatch)
The strategist archetype represents a character who has a background in strategy, planning or other decision-making functions.  You should choose this archetype if you want to make a character who doesn't like to do anything without knowing what the next move is or what te overall plan is. You should also choose this archetype if your character makes a living because of their planning ability.

* __Wound Threshold:__ 10 + Brawn

# Appendix 1: Organizations
### WEB (A.K.A The Bad Guys)

The Web is a worldwide organization promoting crime, terrorism and revolution. It employs these three tools to generate profit, destabilize governments and international relationships, and gain political power for itself and its top operatives.

The Web has infiltrated most of the major espionage networks in the world and its intelligence and counterintelligence capabilities are extensive. Espionage activities are part of its daily routine.

### Orion (A.K.A The Good Guys)
In all the world, only one organization -- The Orion Foundation -- stands between the Web and its ultimate goal of world subjugation. This agency, comprised of courageous and dedicated professionals, struggles to thwart the schemes and machinations of the Web.

The operatives of this organization, few in number, have learned of the existence and nature of the Web, and have dedicated their lives to combating it. They are a diverse and multitalented group of agents, hailing from nearly every nation of the world.

<div class='note'>
<h4>Orioncomm SW1</h4>

Appearing to be a typical smartwatch, the SW1 goes beyond simplicity. Containing a miniaturized encrypted radio transceiver and battery. The device, when hooked to an electrical outlet or telephone, can send and receive an unlimited number of radio messages to or from anywhere in the world. It ha even been used to contact a satellite in low Earth orbit.

The communication network isn't infallible. By the GM spending <span class="symbols">hh</span>, the communicaiton network is broken for up to 4 hours when the next time an Orion satellite is in position to connect.

In addition, by the GM spending a <span class="symbols">d</span> the batteries are drained, and must be connected to power to recharge for an hour.

<div class='note'>
<h4>Orion Identity Card and Case</h4>

Looking like a high-tech business card case, this device serves many functions. All agents are issued Orion Foundation business cards. Like a standard memory card, Micro-thin circuitry inside the card holds identity information which identifies the holder as an Orion Foundation agent. Each card is keyed to the fingerprints and skin oils of a particular agent. If someone else attempts to use the card, it will automatically register as a fake when inserted into a detection device.

This card is used an an ID Card to allow entry into Foundation facilities. In the field, the card case functions as a card reader for these id cards. Subtle LEDs built into the case light up when a card is placed on it's lid. If the card is genuine, one green light appears. If it is forged, or stolen two lights appear.

The case also contains a powerful micro-magnet which when switched on can disrupt nearby electromagnetic fields or magnetic-sensitive devices (such as computer disks or hard drives).
