WALKABOUT-SPECIFIC INFO

[powersthatbe]

This walkabout is set in January, 1942, aka Comet Year 32. The King of England is Percival Stewart Doyle, son of King Arthur II of the House of Doyle, grandfather of King Malcolm of the Kau Lung/Newport era.

Spirits are one of the things the Third Reich is trying to “purify”. Captured Spirits are forced to surrender their powers into enchanted objects, which SS teams and other military units later use.

In general, this plot is not meant to be focused on conflict with external threats, but the psychological pressure cooker of these groups of people struggling to trust and depend on one another when one unreliable moment could spell death for everyone, and clashing backgrounds, objectives, and methods all naturally and sensibly build distrust - especially when circumstances indicate that at least one person present is NOT trustworthy. Ideally, Infiltrations should be planned so there is at least one concrete reason to doubt each member of the team on their own demerits.
