The E-Branch Guide to Psionics is a supplement about the top-secret British government organization known as E-Branch, which performs intelligence operations using psychic powers. [1]

Reception

Andy Butcher reviewed The E-Branch Guide to Psionics for Arcane magazine, rating it a 5 out of 10 overall. [1] Butcher comments that "Fans of Lumley will be interested to see how the powers, which help maintain Necroscope's unique feel, have been implemented in the game. But even then it's hardly required reading for more casual players." [1]
