The review has been written and uploaded. It can be found at http://www.modus-operandi.co.uk/articles/article.asp?ArticleID=51 Hopefully the Spycraft fans will just see that I'm not biased :D

Spycraft has an error range mechanic for each weapon, similar to the critical range (although at the bottom end of the die - 1, 1-2, 1-3, etc). If you roll this number naturally during your attack then you have scored an error (or critical failure). The GC/GM then spends Action Dice to decide...

Oh yes, I definately changed my mind. I'll have a review online in a day or two but in general: * Technical information about each type of weapon (pistol, shotgun, etc) given at the beginning of each chapter in an easy to read manner - stuff like this helps to get a better understanding of how...

True, but what caught my eye was the mutant creature approach. It just screamed TMNT.

Hey, I take back everything I said about this supplement. It's excellent. I'll post a review in the next few days over at Modus Operandi.

Gene-tech - it evokes so many, wonderful, memories of playing TMNT in the 80's :D * TMNT = Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a Palladium (sp?) game based on the comic - not the films or cartoon series!!!

To be perfectly honest, I wouldm't try selling anything without their permission. Maybe that's a little too "goody-goody", but I believe that Patrick, et al, have a good working relationship with anyone who wants to expand the Spycraft line. Nice thought, thanks :D

Off Topic I didn't know that I was that well known... :D or is that infamous... ;)

I can vouch for this comment (if it really needs vouching that is :D ). Both Scott (Morgenstern) and Patrick Kapera have been more than helpful when it came to my site. More so than I had any right to expect.

Thanks for responding. Looking forward to the releases...

I disagree. I think price-fixing is theft from the consumer, and theft is illegal. It's like the book trade. At one time they set the price (listed on the back of the book/inside front cover) and that was what you had to pay. Then the law was changed and now you can pick up books cheaper. If...

Argh! Unbeliever! The films were excellent (well, the odd numbered ones anyway - I try to forget about II and IV). But you're right, it's an excellent idea for a campaign. I think your ideas for a template sound more than reasonable. I would say you can't. In fact, I'd probably run the...

Just seen on the ITN news that Hasbro have been fined £4.95M by the Office of Fair Trading (UK) for price-fixing their products. The fine was originally £9M but was reduced because Hasbro assisted with inquiries! The same news report said that Hasbro made a loss of £146K in the last quarter. Of...

Back to Basics (available from the Spycraft site - www.spycraftrpg.com) is a good start. It's aimed at beginning Spycraft characters, but conversion to d20 Modern should be too difficult.

I'm not going to comment on the various different points of view about James Wallis. What I will say is that he was always very approachable when I met him at conventions, and his support of Warhammer Fantasy Role Play was outstanding. (How many other people would pick up a game line that a...

Role Playing Tips has an excellent one - http://www.roleplayingtips.com

That is an excellent decision - are you going for a similar layout inside?

I use my own, much more realistic, setting. I hope to have it written up and online sometime...

Definately 3 or less players is best. I ran a game the other week with 8 players and it was complete chaos! Last week it was just 3 and so much easier :D
