One of the most recent news stories has being the leak of certain classified documents pertaining to the Ukraine War and a host of other items that were uploaded to a Discord server and circulated around the world. Yesterday, a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman was arrested in connection to the leak.
Outside of the young men having essentially the modernized version of a job in the Air Force that I had in the 90s in the Army, and some cool possibilities of how he got the documents in the first place (read the AP article linked above), the uploaded items that interest me aren't the classified intel, rather it was a pile of Minecraft stuff attached to the folder, and one lone picture of an RPG character sheet.
An article by Vice details the character and uses an author with credits involving the post-modern World of Darkness, Kult, and Exalted to attempt to figure out what game he was trying to play. The author jumped to the same conclusions as most gamers: Spot Hidden and Library simply scream Call of Cthulhu. Except that the character attributes are all mid-single digits, which even in pre-7th edition CoC would make one of the feeblest characters in the history of the game. Plus only 100 points were distributed (unsure how that was calculated), making the skills levels basic at best. This guy might die taking the telegram from Jackson Elias, much less taking part in Masks of Nylarathotep, cool sword cane and everything.
