I've been cheating

The group made a wiki, which is where I've been mostly posting this sort of stuff for the last couple of years.  Now that the third age campaign is over, I'll see if I can move some of it to here.

Currently, I'm running a black ops GURPs campaign, trying out some of the cinematic rules in that system.  The characters are 600pts and amazingly, they still seem to be threatened by mooks.

While starting as a one off while our other GM is away for a month, it's likely going to be my next longer term going campaign.

The basic premise is very Xcom influence, as is the Black Ops source book.  I also recently picked up the GURPS Illuminati book, which I think is great fun, and has me going with certain factions for this campaign.  One twist that I'm putting on this campaign is that the earth is actually flat, and there's a great conspiracy to keep people thinking it's round.  This is mostly done via Grey Psychic Beacons.  It turns out mathmaticians and physicists are all Ghouls who are in on the conspiracy.  It makes so much sense now!!


They're not set in stone, but here are the factions I have so far:

The GREYS!!!!

Home Planet Zeta Reticuli.

What they do: Abductions for genetic experiments.   

They have slave Hybrid Ghouls are disguised by psychic beacons, they try to infiltrate other groups.  They tend to be republicans.

Obviously, these are based on They Live, mixed with the generic Grey Alien/sectoids from Xcom UFO defense.

Reptilians

Baylonian Brotherhood.

Tall, blood drinking, shape shifting lizards from Alpha Draconis.  Hide in underground cavernous bases, impersonating world leaders.  David Icke eat your heart out.

Enemies to the Greys.  They run the democrat party.

Vampires

Vampires working ancient evil.  The Greys claim they are failed experiments from long ago. They have no overarching agenda, each seems to want to run their own petty kingdom.  Pineal glands are gone, which makes them soulless.  They also wish to spread floridation to protect their teeth, as well as calcify the pineal glands of humans, making them easier to manipulate.

The Cabal

The Cabal are magicians from another dimension(see Infinite Worlds).  They seek to enslave Earth for their nefarious purposes.  They like to do magical experiments on Earth because of the low magic, which makes  things safer if things go wrong.

Illuminati

A human group of shifting alliances looking to control the world.  They are paranoid and hate the Reptilians above all else.  They run through several different organizations, from Masons and Shriners, to Newspaper moguls and movie stars.

Flat Earthers

An anti-psychic group who has discovered that the Earth Is Really Flat.  THey have a genetic variation which protects them from the psychic rays of the Greys.  They are enemies to the Greys, who control the psychic beacons.

CHUDS

Creatures from the Underside of the earth.  Demonic in appearance, they wish to sew discord amongst the ‘heavens’.

The Church

The pope’s enemy is the CHUDS.  Some speculate that many of the cardinals are actually a mixture of  Reptilians and Ghouls using the church as a puppet organization.  They have a militant faction that is comprised of deadly CHUD hunters.
