Covert Ops - The Neumann Protocol

ADD TO WISHLIST >

BACKGROUND
spy2.JPGThis is a short supplement for the Covert Ops role-playing game. It can be used with the setting provided in brief within the core rulebook (SECTOR) or can be used in any setting you desire. Since this supplement is settingless, it uses the generic term “Command” to refer to the player operatives’ organization.

In this supplement, add a little bit of sci to your fi and embrace a shadow world where cybernetic implants are possible. These pages add cybernetics to your espionage and paramilitary fun. Turn your spy into a super spy, or your soldier into a super soldier, with abilities that make him more than human.

This book takes a categorical approach to defining implants. It breaks them down into prosthetics (fully functional replacements for normal body parts), bionics (the lite stuff powered off your body's own bioelectric field), and cybernetics (the heavy stuff, requiring a power supply to function). Beyond this, it breaks them down into three categories of minor, moderate, and major. In addition to defining a cost breakdown, this categorization makes it easy for GMs who want to limit the amount and type of implants available in his setting. One GM might permit only light and moderate prosthetics and bionics in his game, while another might allow full cybernetic conversions if the operative can afford it and wants to pay the price.

Implants do mess with your body's harmony and bioelectric field, and some would say your soul.  Be careful with how much of your humanity you trade in for machine; cybersickness can debilitate you, and if your heavier implants lose power you’ll be needing extraction in a hurry!

OPERATIONAL ADDENDUM
This is an Operational Addendum, an official game micro-accessory for the Covert Ops role playing game. This is the designation we at DwD Studios use to refer to small modular optional accessories which can be used to enhance your espionage and paramilitary adventure. Some will have plug-in rules, others will have setting-related things like new organizations or elaborations on old ones. We hope you like the concept. Instead of building a new 100 page accessory filled mostly with things you DON’T want, this smaller and more compartmentalized philosophy allows you to just purchase only what you DO want.

But don’t sit around waiting for us to write the next Operational Addendum – you too can write them. It’s the beauty of a product written under a Creative Commons license. You can publish them yourself! Or, if you want the fancy logo and some assistance with art, editing, etc. then submit it to us and we’ll publish it for you. And don’t be afraid to contact us with feedback, pitches, and ideas – info@dwdstudios.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
