Background
The Explorer's Club is a group of people who work together to help each other acheive goals. It operates in major cities: New York, London, Paris, Munich, Cairo, and Bangkok all have meeting places for the Club.
These houses are safe places, staffed by discreet staff. No one is entirely sure who runs the Club. It is known that not every member is pure of heart, but as long as others are willing to work with them, they remaion as members.
Members of the Club come from all walks of life. Some are recruited for specific talents and skills while others join because of their attitude towards adventure.
Major Groups
Most of these are at least somewhat clandestine, but any of them might be hunting or hating a character:/p>
- The League of Nations
- The League is an official government group with a desire to provide safety and security to the world. Players could come to their attention due to their actions or inactions. The goal could be to recruit, educate, or punish them. In the real world, the League didn't have operatives, but this is a game world.
- The Ku Klux Klan
- They work to ensure tht white protestants are the dominant group in society. they oppose minorities, Jews, and Catholics.
- Rexists
- A Belgian group that wants to abolish current governments and replace them with businesses. They also wanted moral reform to better match the teachings of Roman Catholicism
- Knights Templar
- A group charged with protecting the secrets of major religions and to ensuring artifacts were properly held.
- Mafia, Tongs, Yakuza
- There could be any number of specific families or regions that hunted a character, probably for interfering in their plans.
- Religious Cults
- Members of a relgious cult could be working against characters. Cults typically have nefarious schemes of some kind which might require collecting itmes or people.
- Magical groups
- Magic isn't real, but that doesn't stop people from believing in it or using it to convince others to help them.
- Union of Cryptozoologists
