“Without politics, without compromise, and without fear, CROSS will stand and protect all God-fearing people from evil.”

Anton Marolf, CROSS Archdeacon of Strategic Operations

What is CROSS?
CROSS is a clandestine spy agency also known as the Catholic Response Organization to Strategize and Strike. CROSS was created by rogue Cardinal James McDonnell to take the Pope's
prayers and convert them into actions. He and his command staff create missions to protect the flock from evil using cutting-edge technology coupled with saintly magic honed over 2000 years of history.

Why Savage Worlds?
The CROSS organization was originally created as part of a Champions game years ago. When I decided to create a setting around it, I wanted to capture my vision of an organization that only includes agents that are the best of the best. They are the only people suited for the types of adversaries that they will face.

I wanted the players to feel like they were playing competent characters from the start. When I discovered Savage Worlds, I thought that the exploding dice mechanic of Savage Worlds
along with the bennies system modeled that feeling. After a few sessions at Garycon, I knew this was the system for Secret Agents of CROSS.

Please note, you will need a copy of Savage Worlds to play Secret Agents of CROSS. You can find out more about Savage Worlds here: https://www.peginc.com/store/savage-worlds-deluxe-explorers-

Like our own, the world of Secret Agents of CROSS contained thousands of years of religious persecution that shaped the modern world. Supernatural has existed in the world since the
beginning of time and continues to exploit the world from their extra-dimensional realms and secret lairs. Technology in the world is similar to our own, but slightly more advanced. CROSS
engineers have developed cutting-edge weapons and espionage gear as well as power armor and cybernetics.
