Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ghostwind" data-source="post: 503049" data-attributes="member: 3060">Actually, there is a thrid party publisher doing Spycraft material now - Paradigm Concepts. Yes, they negotiated the contract with AEG but it does show that there will be outside support for Spycraft other than what AEG puts outs (which is a lot). As for saying that third party publishers cannot develop material for Spycraft, you are wrong. There is enough open content rules within that book that anyone can sit down and construct a supplement or adventure based on the ogc rules and offer it as a modern day d20 espionage product. The legal issues come into play when you want to use the Spycraft name itself.Saying that d20 Modern will outdo Spycraft because of the SRD is putting the cart before the horse. First and foremost, there has to be a solid market for modern day material in order for any 3rd party publisher to succeed. Secondly, considering the number of publishers who have come forth and announced some kind of d20 Modern product, you will likely see a flooded market within a year's time. Spycraft has built up a substantial following (as evidenced by the success Living Spycraft is enjoying) because it is well written and fits a niche that wasn't exploited before. AEG has given the line considerable support and some really solid products such as the Modern Arms Guide.d20 Modern is a good book, don't get me wrong. But Spycraft edges it in overall quality and presentation. However, there is no reason why you cannot incorporate stuff from both into your personal campaign worlds. That's what I did. I am using feats from Spycraft for one of my epic characters along with the Tough class from d20 Modern (and a few other things). It makes for a really interesting character.</blockquote>
