Description

Jeopardy in the Jungle!

It is March 1942, and months after the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, American and Filipino forces are in painful retreat. General MacArthur makes ready to evacuate to Australia, but in the Secret War, Japanese occult operations are just beginning. 

A team of Majestic special operatives are hastily assembled. Their mission: go behind enemy lines, and learn the truth behind the stories of mass disappearances and massacres which have been attributed to unknown Japanese forces. Retrieve that information and bring it back to HQ before MacArthur leaves. 

Once the agents embark, they face peril at every turn, not only from the Japanese invaders but from the many hazards of the trackless jungle itself. When they encounter devastated villages and newly arisen corpses, they are forced to trace these incidents to their source, an occupied village deep in enemy territory.

What awaits them there is not only a fortified compound, but occult terrors and the awful truth behind the abductions. Will they be able to rescue any survivors, prevent an unholy alliance being formed with a Mythos faction and make their way home back home? Most importantly, can they escape the vengeance of a horrific spirit-demon which has been set on their tail?

Mythos and war in the Pacific - a Mephisto review

Operation Talisman leaves the theater of war in Europe behind and leads agents of Majestic into the war into the Pacific in 1942. In the Philippines, the Americans are retreating from the Japanese invasion. However, rumors of unnatural attacks make it necessary to infiltrate enemy territory with a small team in order to gather information and recover artifacts. The agents for this mission are available as ready-made player characters and have to gather information behind enemy lines. In addition to the dangers posed by the jungle and enemy patrols, it soon becomes clear that sinister forces are indeed at work…

Operation Talisman shifts the setting to the Pacific and places Majestic agents in the foreground, so that the ready-made characters can be helpful here. The characters face a tough expedition that confronts them with the horrors of war until they uncover the cthulhoid conspiracy. The challenge for the players is to decide when it is better to just gather information and when they should intervene.

Operation Talisman offers an action-packed adventure that also addresses critical issues such as war crimes against the civilian population, bringing real war atrocities to the gaming table. Players also have to decide when to observe and when to intervene, which can change the adventure considerably. Apart from that, Operation Talisman revolves around a classic, tough operation against the forces of the Mythos in World War 2.
