You are officers of the night police in Berlin. A suicide takes you out into a cold March night. The case quickly gets political. One wrong move could plunge the German Empire into chaos.
Description:
You are officers attached to the 17th Kriminalpolizei precinct in Berlin. You’ll be confronted with the most complicated and dangerous case of your careers, and one misstep could destroy you and plunge the German Empire into chaos. Your prestigious precinct covers the embassy district and is normally a plum assignment, but you are the investigators and technicians on the night shift. You handle the sordid little cases that the shining stars of the precinct can’t be bothered with. Tonight, however, you have been called in by the Shutzpolizei who patrol the streets to investigate a body found on the shore of the Wannsee. The initial report says he committed suicide but you know that, with your luck, the case won’t be so simple. With a chorus of sighs, you put down your Bavarian crème pastries, pack up your forensic kits and head out into the cold and damp March night.
You've been hired by the occultist Aleister Crowley to steal arcane artifacts from the Cologne Cathedral. Oh, and while you're there you must "persuade" a certain eminent physicist to return with you.
Description:
You've been hired by the Great Beast himself, the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley to carry out a mission of great importance and secrecy. Your goal is to infiltrate the Cologne Cathedral and steal the relics of the Three Magi. Mr. Crowley claims these relics are, in actuality, arcane artifacts that will be used in the inaugural ritual of his new arcane society, Argenteum Astrum (Latin for Silver Star). As if that were not enough, Crowley has also tasked you with "persuading" a certain eminent physicist to return to London with you. Apparently this gentleman is an expert in something called "quantum," which Crowley believes will assist his arcane research. You are to accomplish all of this without creating an international incident between the British and German Empires. Did we mention the pay is quite good?
You are British agents in Egypt. You've been dispatched to the oasis settlement of El-Kharga, where something has gone terribly wrong. Head into the desert to uncover secrets, old and new.
Description:
You are agents of the British crown, attached to the governor’s office in Cairo. A dispatch has just arrived from the oasis settlement of El-Kharga, where something has gone terribly wrong and violent riots have broken out. You have just been summoned to the governor’s office. You can put two and two together, and you can already see the short end of the stick heading in your direction. El-Kharga is normally a very peaceful town, but you’ve heard rumors that the Austrians have set a revolution in motion, that the black plague has re-surfaced, and that an ancient rift to a nearby dimension filled with unspeakable horrors has re-opened. Hopefully, some of those rumors are false. Still, you have no choice but to pack your bags and head deep into the depths of the desert to uncover secrets, some fresh and new, some old as the tombs of the vanished Egyptian Pharaohs.

A brilliant German scientist has slipped his minders and is en route to Constantinople. Can your team of British agents keep the defector safe against German agents, mad scientists, and more?
Description:
An operative of the War Office’s newly constituted intelligence service, working in British-occupied Constantinople, has just received an encrypted cable from London containing rather startling news and instructions. An extremely high level scientist in the German military research apparatus has made known his intent to defect. The scientist has somehow slipped his minders during a scheduled rest at a resort in the Bavarian Alps and is at this moment en route to Constantinople via airship. The orders are to drop everything and assemble a team of local agents to meet the scientist at the smugglers airfield outside the city and keep him safe until transport to the UK is arranged. Complicating matters is the fact that Special Branch has somehow found about this matter and insists on having some of their constables involved.
