Covert Ops Feats (Louis Porter Jr. Design)

Don't forget Chuck (with Chris Davis) already did Blood and Secrets: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=6207&

Man, I've been out of the loop lately to have missed that. Thanks.

Also, folks, it's very bad form to get into this kind of bickering. I'm no mod, but honestly; if you have personal beefs, take them to e-mail.

Moderator's Notes
Roudi speaks words of wisdom. It's perfectly fine to discuss the contents of the work. It's fine to talk about the percentage of original material in the work. However, we need you to avoid discussing the author, or discussing other posters.

The work is fair game. The worker is not.

Is it safe to say that everyone who has posted in here hasn't picked it up or have any reviews for it? I know it's only $3 but I don't need to add to the list of accessories that I don't use if other people who picked it up don't get any use out of it. I might just have to bite the bullet and pick it up.

Yep, although it's more "Agent of SHIELD" or "UNTIL" than it is CIA type spooks. It's sort of a bridge between B&Guts and B&Vigilance.

I looked at the list of feats...there's some I recognize from various Chuck Rice "Blood" products and some from Ultramodern Firearms d20. Still don't know how many, if any, are original.

For the most part the feats of mine in the product seem to be those that I included in the Haven d20 Modern adaptation I did with Louis.

That would seem to make them even more appropriate for inclusion in a book of this type than they normally would be.

Also, it looks like most of the feats are new. I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm down. It doesn't look like Louis has done anything below the belt here.

Has anyone purchased this or otherwise willing to share information regarding section 15, as some of the feats listed in the resource referenced look familiar outside the Haven context, but there's really no way to know without the section 15.

Thanks for any help.

Chuck says

Ok you babies... I went and bought the thing so you can see the Section 15. Seems like a nice selection of feats from other modern books, without an an unduly large number of feats being drawn from any one source. There's a lot here that's new, and even more that's new to me, because even with being something of a modern packrat, I didn't own every book here. Still, even if I did, a lot of the feats are brand new.

About the feats themselves

They seem to be a really nice mix of combat, wealth, identity and informational feats. A nice mix all around.

For those interested, the section 15, in its entirety

Er... I don't understand why many individual feats are cited here, rather than their sources. It's a pretty unconventional method.

Unless those cited feats never appeared in a published source before? If that were the case, they wouldn't even need their own citations.

I think that's the case, that he's listing the new feats' source as their author. Seems like a nice way to give each individual contributor his own credit.

Thanks, Chuck.
