Executive Action, Inc
This is a GURPS 4E Action game set in the modern world, dealing with modern real-life problems. The characters will be employees of Executive Actions, Incorporated, officially a private military company – and sometimes more accurately called mercenaries. Think Blackwater Worldwide, but more willing to engage in offensive action.
The first missions are going to be taken straight from the headlines – Somali pirates, the Second Congo War, Iran’s nuclear ambitions – while further along I’m planning on an overarching plot that will introduce sci-fi elements, if the players are amenable to it; the sci-fi bits aren’t final, and won’t be for months at the earliest.
The Action series of GURPS supplements isn’t necessary to play in this game, but they could help in defining the rules and player roles. This game will be relatively cinematic, using several cinematic rules to speed up combat and increase enjoyment. While it’s an Action game, Action doesn’t mean pure combat. A face man, computer hacker, pilot, mechanic, infiltrator, investigator, or any number of other roles are quite viable – so long as you don’t forget that this is an Action game and, as such, you should plan on there being combat.Since 1983, Executive Action, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Stromberg Industries, has provided national security, corporate, and law enforcement customers within the US and abroad with professional services, skilled operators, and integrated solutions for defense, training, and paramilitary operations.
