‘A Breach of Trust’ is a megagame set in the present day, with major themes of discovery, cooperation against otherworldly threats, working within a massive organisation. Players work as employees of a mysterious organisation called “Trust”, to protect the world from the things that go bump in the night.
These can be anything from mythical monsters, to supernatural artifacts, to otherworldly entities that defy the laws of physics. Some are more like tools, reacting in a predictable way to certain stimuli, but others are creatures as intelligent as you or I. No matter their form, Trust calls all of these things “anomalies”.
Each player will take on a distinct role within Trust’s massive structure. Everything from genius scientists, to bad-ass special agents, to their shadowy leaders, to the very anomalies themselves. This group, and the brave people within it, are humanity’s first and last line of defence against anomalous threats to the lives of ordinary people- who remain blissfully unaware that such strange danger even exists.
This game is about a new Trust facility, and the Trust employees who’ve been newly hired or transferred from other sites to work there. At the start of the game the players, as new employees, are arriving at the new location for the first time, and don’t know much about who they’ll be working with, what they’ll be doing, or what strange anomalies have already been transferred here from other sites. A new facility means new opportunities, new colleagues to meet, and exciting new ways of working. However, there are also many risks. The world, and all its anomalous threats, will not patiently wait for this new site to get itself up to speed. You’ll have to learn fast, work efficiently, and be prepared to adapt- lest this new site become a smouldering crater before it even gets off the ground…
