randomwizardTop Secret S.I. had a lot of accessories, some of them expanded the rules to include other genres. FREE Lancers made it into a superhero kind of game. TSAC7 (the 7th accessory!) by Scott Bowles goes into the setting. This was written in 1989.Scholars will be able to look back and determine the precise date the American federal government began to disintegrate: Feb 11, 1994, the day Jim Bob Culpepper began building his wall.Culpepper had successfully run for governor of Texas the previous year, promising, among other things, "to keep the Mexicans in Mexico." To this end, he took his lead from Berlin and proposed building a 12' high wall along the entire length of the Rio Grande, topping it with concertina wire, planting land mines in the area just north of the wall, and spacing guard towers, to be manned by Texas National Guardsmen, 150' apart.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/rpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rpg</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/tsr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tsr</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/topsecret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#topsecret</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/gaminghistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaminghistory</a>
