Tradecraft

During simulations, a number of questions come up regarding how real federal agents and experienced DG operatives would handle things in their trade, i.e. exercise tradecraft. According to the book Spycraft by Robert Wallace and Keith Melton, the five pillars of tradecraft are:

  • Assessment (recruiting agents, turncoats, informants within hostile organizations etc.)
  • Cover and disguise
  • Concealment (hiding things)
  • Covert surveillance
  • Covert communication

This is still largely true when the Mythos is involved, but this page also collects speculation and research into what characters might have to do under less mundane circumstances. See Tradecraft Links and Keeper Lore as well.
