Project Majestic-12: TTRPG of Supernatural Horror

What is Majestic-12?

MJ-12 or Majic-12 was formed in 1928 when an investigation turned into something unfathomable. A sadistic cult deep in the Louisiana bayou revealed dark rituals which drove the local law enforcement mad. The only thing that could have been described from the investigation was vivid images of "an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature". President Coolige launched Project Majestic-12 to stop whatever the bayou “Voodoo” cult was practicing in the name of national security. After reading the debriefs, president Coolige classifies the Majestic-12 to be its own security clearance, never to be revealed to the public nor any future president under any circumstances. The Majestic-12 was put under the then Department of War to be only known by top military officers, only as the task force who “fixes strange problems". 

The modern organization operates under the Pentagon with a command structure; the case officer MJ-0 leads the operations overseeing Agent MJ-1 to MJ-12. Even the knowledge of the Majestic-12 is classified secret; those who only have the off-the-books, “Majic-Clearance”, are read into the existence of the group.  

Majestic-12 is a D100 system with a custom MJ-12 character sheet, new rules for skill specializations further make player roles give more agency, and new rules for advancement than a typical D100 system. Project Majestic-12 will be published under the ORC license; this encourages and allows for 3rd party publishing of this system as long as the terms of the license are adhered to. No use of AI was used in the creation of any content in this game, Majestic-12 was built from mortal made conspiracy and madness of the unnatural world.
