About the adventure
Fight nazi spies and occultists during WW2! Lead a cabal of spies, informants and criminals, cut off from your own government! Wield arcane powers, advanced technology, or steel and muscle to defend your country from the twisted machinations of The Third Reich! It is 1942, and the United States has just entered the Second World War. While our boys are fighting the forces of the Third Reich Abroad, a second war is being waged at home. Nazi operatives are working within the country to cripple the American war machine and sow terror among the states. It is up to you to stop them by any means necessary. The UK has the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. The US has you. Are you ready to fight The Shadow War? If you are new to Savage Worlds, no worries! I have been teaching games to people for 20+ years now, and have had taught more players than I can count. Inspired by Phantom Doctrine, James Bond, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and Danger 5

Additional details
How to prepare
Please have a mic, cameras are completely optional. Knowledge of the rules is unnecessary, as I will provide a couple cheat sheets for what you can do in a fight, and some advice on how to deal with different situations in combat (follow or ignore as you see fit)
What I provide
Will be using FoundryVTT Chat can be done via Discord, or by other means if the players have a different preference. I try to stick pretty close to the RAW, but if the choices are follow the rules, or be awesome, I'm gonna choose being awesome 11/10 times.
Gameplay details
For session 0 in addition to creating characters, and a quick briefing of the scenario, we will discuss lines, veils, and wishes. If people prefer to send their lines and veils privately, feel free to do so. Considering the setting of the game, you are going to be dealing with some of history's worst people, but that doesn't mean you can't have a bit of fun with it. Think less Combat Sergeant and more Danger 5 (though maybe not quite THAT silly)
