CIA/FBI/DEA and other alphabet soup operatives.

Well IMHO I would say that for your purposes MH will not be helpful (not that it isn't useful for other games or one of my favourite series) as there is only one detective type template and its cinematic to the max! Action also has exactly one investigation based template.

Now there is a law enforcement lens, but that's a paragraph or two of text.

Books like Mysteries or 3E Cops would help you out a little more on the template side. Horror has two appropriate templates right there.

I think what youre more after though is 3E GURPS Conspiracy X which does have a DEA, Secret Service, FBI etc templates. Once again these are a very small part of (in this case especially) a much larger book.

I think there might even be some Pyramid articles to track down.

I came up with a federal law enforcement NPC sheet that might fit. It's a 150 point template, making it slightly cinematic, and granted intended for a cinematic superhero universe... but I based it off what I could find of real life FBI field agent training. YMMV, of course.

Mind, it doesn't quite fit a true occupational template, but it should give you a place to start.

Thanks. I'll have a good look at that.

Given its unlikely we will get a GURPS book on any of these agencies anytime soon I always have high hopes someone will spend a week or two watching as many movies or tv series as possible along with reading a biography or two and give us a five page 'X in Fiction' pyramid article complete with a template for each of these agencies.

Espionage (also 3e) will also have some useful notes on the CIA, NSA, etc, although the technology will be rather dated.

Hi there!
I'm planning on doing the same thing! (I just hope my wife won't catch me, she might kill me!!!)
I've got some very incomplete stuff on a Word file.
I'll try to send it to you.

Why, does she work for the CIA?

I have a friend who owns most of the 3rd ed books, it's like having a personal library.

"GURPS Conspiracy X" will probably also be useful in other ways, for running a campaign in the Delta Green setting. I don't know if it's still available from shops, though, since it was a conversion from another RPG, so the license may have expired.

As for Pyramid v2, there were a couple of articles, "The FBI in Gaming" and "The CIA in Gaming", or something like that. But only those who had active subscriptions when Pyramid v2 closed down have the archives.
