Allicin Depending on your players, there are two ways to go about this. You could tell them http://www3.mistral.co.uk/garlic/chemicals.htm that you will be running an Ultraviolet campaign and give them the background Background information from the television series, asking The Ultraviolet television series, which that they create a character, with a consisted of six episodes, was produced by background which would explain why they World Productions for Channel 4 in 1998. are involved (example from the television First screened, on Channel 4, during the series are available from all the leading months of September and October 1998 it characters).

You can that the Code Vs had the ultimate aim of then start the campaign off as a “normal” engineering a nuclear winter. They felt that non-Ultraviolet campaign and slowly in the darkness of the nuclear winter, they introduce Code Vs into it. This allows the could travel freely and, as they are immortal, players to be drawn into the world and rule the world. Given this, it isn’t too much encourage them to investigate the existence of a stretch to change the reasoning behind of Code Vs (as, even out of character, they Rhodes’ theft to be the first stage in don’t know much). The downside to this is engineering a nuclear winter (after all, that you are then required to put in more without the satellites, the chances of effort to make it a successful campaign. spotting incoming nuclear missiles is reduced). With this in mind, it makes sense Scenario Ideas for Rhodes to be a Code V. As he doesn’t make an appearance this won’t unbalance Perhaps the best, and easiest, way to the scenario. With regard to Kinkaid, it start an Ultraviolet campaign is to use the maybe worthwhile saying that he been bitten free Spycraft scenario, Back to Basics by Rhodes, although not enough to become (available from the official website).
