marvin 09-20-2008, 07:13 AM The organization within the CIA that handles this sort of thing is known as the Special Services Office. It was called the Special Activities Division during the Cold War an up until a few years ago. If you google CIA Special Activities Division there are a few good hits including of course a Wiki Article.


GURPS Special Ops and Covert Ops both have information that would be useful in creating a SAD campaign. Within Steve Jackson Games in house online magazine, Pyramid, there is an article entitled, Special Ops: Designer Notes. It has template, in GURPS terms, for a CIA SAD operative. the article mentions that it is difficult to truly define a "typical" SAD operative but its a start.


Good luck.
