The Secret Files of Section D
What is The Secret Files of Section D?
It's a Table Top Role Playing Game powered by the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition rules. Players take on the roles of agents working for the British Secret Intelligence Service, specifically Section D, which was established in early 1938. Section D goes on to be one of the building blocks of the Special Operations Executive.
Set against the backdrop of a world in turmoil, our heroes take on missions to protect King and country. Officially tasked with spying on Fascists and Bolsheviks, a standard Section D mission typically meant photographing railway yards and water towers. Many operations were not standard though. Not by a long way. So far from standard, in fact, that their exact details remain closely guarded secrets to this day.
Section D agents saw and thwarted schemes so fantastic, the public simply would not believe they were real at all. Small details of some of these operations have leaked into popular culture, but nobody thinks for one moment they are true stories.
These are The Secret Files of Section D.

About Imaginarium Games
Imaginarium Games is a producer of Role Playing Games and associated materials. Headed by Allan Wroe, a Role Player and Game Master for over 30 years, Imaginarium Games aims to provide players and GMs with outstanding resources to create memorable gaming experiences.
It all started at a games convention a few years ago with what was supposed to be a one off adventure using the Savage Worlds Role Playing Game. The pulp adventure, Better Latte Than Never, pitted an intrepid unit of agents working for the British Secret Intelligence Service against an over the top selection of Nazis and cultists. Laced with puns and intentionally bad translations, the players loved it and wanted more, and then they wanted more.
That one off game became a campaign that has run over several years and remains a staple for the convention's Friday evening entertainment.
When more people asked if they could play, who were we to refuse them?
Imaginarium Games is the home of The Secret Files of Section D, a pulp, spy roleplaying game set in a world on the brink.
