Background

"Think back to every story of alien visitors, psychic powers, occult lore, unexplained miracles, strange cults, and secret societies that you've ever heard... then imagine if they were all true, and your job was to investigate them." This is the hook Wizards of the Coast used to interest people in this campaign setting for the Alternity role playing game rules. It gives a good overview of the setting.
