Product Description:
TOP SECRET. CUSTODES ARCANA ET VERUM.

You are an Agent of the Bureau for Anomalous Research and Defense (B.A.R.D.), the world's most secret line of defense against the occult, the anomalous, and the entities that lurk just beyond the veil of normal human perception.

The B.A.R.D. Files is a tabletop role-playing game where mundane bureaucracy meets terrifying cosmic horror. Forget the dragon slayers and epic heroes—you are a highly trained operative with a terrifying mission: to contain the uncontainable, classify the unclassifiable, and maintain the fragile fiction that everything is under control.

The Mission: Containment & Survival
Using the intuitive Operative System (our custom TTRP Mechanics Set), the game focuses on skill checks, investigation, and managing the psychological toll of your work.

Inside this classified Core Rulebook, you will find:

The World of B.A.R.D.: Detailed lore on the Bureau's classified history, its global structure, and the terrifying threats it monitors.

The Core Mechanics: A fast-paced system designed for tense, high-stakes investigation and sudden, brutal combat.

The Sanity Cost: A deep system for tracking an Agent's Health and Sanity (WIL), where every confrontation with the anomalous carries a permanent psychological price.

Magic, Rituals, and the Occult: Rules for tapping into dangerous Ritual Science, where power is paid for with Sanity, and failure leads to cosmic trauma.

Agent Advancement: A unique Experience Point (XP) system used not for money, but for specialist training, Attribute increases, and gaining high-level security clearance.

Bureaucratic Forms & Adversaries: Templates for creating your own Agent Dossiers and a library of terrifying entities, from cultists and rogue agents to the monstrous Anomalous Entities that defy reality.
