What did we get ourselves into this time?

What is Bureau 13? Do you mean the pen and paper, or the computer game? Both, smart aleck.

But let's start with the PnP Bureau 13, aka Stalking the Night Fantastic, is kind of a weird game, in an excellent way. The core concept is X-Files meets Men in Black with Buck Godot's sense of humor. If that doesn't sound awesome, either you don't know what one of those things is (and it's probably Buck Godot, ) or get out of my thread. Bureau 13 is the secret 13th department of the Department of Justice, slogan 'Protecting America from Everything'. They handle supernatural threats that the public isn't ready to deal with - everything from vampires to demons to unruly robots to aliens. They also heavily recruit from said paranormal entities, so it wouldn't be unusual to have a squad composed of a 300-year-old vampire, an ultramodern shock trooper, and a stranded alien going up against the chupacabra in Mexico. Th.that's the greatest thing I've ever heard.

Add into the mix the following facts 1) Bureau 13 did this more than a decade before the X-Files OR Men in Black made any of this popular and 2) The entire thing has a madcap sense of humor. It knows that this kind of plot works best when the explosions come as quick as the puns. This kind of thing gets stupid in a big hurry when it tries to take itself seriously. In fact, let me stress that again.

Yes, somewhat par for the course for an 80's RPG, but still pretty insane. Bureau 13 is their flagship game, and they've released a lot of supplementary materials for it. There are a whole series of novels designed to flesh out the universe. And I like them! They are wacky and over the top, with Bureau agents having magically-equipped fighter jets and slipping through pocket dimensions all over the place. The setting in the books and the core game has the world just bursting at the seams, just overflowing with supernatural menace.

The world is ALWAYS one day away from being overtaken by brain parasites from the Amazon Rainforest or an army of superdrones being trained in Antarctica. Your agents have a desperate fight, but tend to take it in stride, chilled martini in one hand, plasma repeater in the other. Then there's the computer game.
