[QUOTE="Shroomy, post: 4573090, member: 32739"] In general, I love the espionage genre (in all its forms, currently two of my favorite shows are [i]Burn Notice[/i] and [i]Chuck[/i], I watch James Bond whenever its on, I used to watch [i]MI-5/Spooks[/i] before A&E screwed with me, etc.) and the recent discussion of [i]Star Frontiers[/i] got me thinking of all the late 80s TSR games that I used to own, [i]Top Secret/SI[/i] among them. I haven't looked at my [i]Top Secret[/i] box sets for almost 20 years and given what my mom told me tonight, there's a good chance that my folks threw it away while I was away at college (and away from RPGs in general). Assuming that its gone, what other RPG systems would be good for playing an espionage theme game, something cinematic, but a bit grittier than the norm. I've thought about looking at [i]Spycraft 2.0[/i] and read some reviews, but I was wondering if there were any other systems to check out. I'm a big 4e fan with gamist tendencies, so I guess I would be looking for a moderately rules intensive game (not too light or too heavy) with a lot of available PC customization. It doesn't have to be a d20 or OGL based game. Also, if my [i]Top Secret[/i] box sets are gone, would it be a good idea to try to track some others down. I have to admit that its been so long, I barely remember the system. [/QUOTE]
