A Conspiracy X 1st Edition Society by Angus McNicholl

The conspiracy is real, yet it remains hidden from those blinded by their desire for safety and security…

First drafted in the early years of Conspiracy X 1st edition, this article explores one of the many organisations complicit in the ongoing conspiracy against humanity, the Ferouk Institute. This Russian hospital hides dark secrets behind its faded, crumbling walls, with some claiming it still serves as a training centre for Directorate X (the now-disavowed enforcement arm of Project Rasputin).

So just what is the truth? Well, read on and find out more about this secret society…

Note: Permission for hosting this article was kindly granted by Angus and forms part of the material he drafted for Conspiracy X in the early 2000s.

A Conspiracy X Opinion Piece by Marcus Bone

Having lived through two editions of Conspiracy X, I have some specific – not always logical – thoughts on how and when I like set my Con X scenarios. This opinion piece outlines my thoughts on setting Con X in the 1990s, the benefits of doing so and the challenges than come with trying to run a game in a decade which began over 30 years ago.

Note: This is planned to be the first of several articles on Conspiracy X, it’s background, mechanics and game play, that I hope to write. These will be collected here on unboundbook.org as they are released.
