1970's Cold War Espionage with Cthulhu.

Historical events for 1970s: UK, USA, The World

PCs all work for MI6 of UK's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS).

If you want to generate your own PC, I recommend using www.dholeshouse.org and creating a modern character first, then add the Optional Mythos Experience Package (p.62 Investigator Guide 7th Ed), then do the Specialized Intelligence Agency Training (p.30 World War Cthulhu: Cold War).

Or just follow all the steps: here

Training between missions:

You are still doing your regular job, so due to regular life and getting shot at as an MI6 operative, you might not be able to train in other skills.

  • Roll POW each year to see if you can have the will power and stick-to-it-ness to learn other skills or to hone your skills.

    • POW Failure: nothing.

    • POW Regular Success: check a skill for advancement. e.g. roll skill %, if succeed, get nothing; if fail, gain 1d10 skill points in that skill.

    • POW Hard Success: check two different skills for advancement.

    • POW Extreme Success: check three different skills for advancement.
