* ''Border Crossing'', an adventure for ''[[HeroSystem Espionage]]'' and ''Mercenaries, Spies & Private Eyes'', is closest to a Type A. The player characters are Western spies who infiltrate East Germany during the ColdWar to investigate a mysterious "factory", and then have to get themselves '''out''' of East Germany. Unless the players have done an incredible job (or the GM has incredibly lousy die rolls), the secret police will be coming after the characters at some point in the mission.
