Night Watch -- What system?

[EditorBFG]

Hmm... Spycraft was always pretty cinematic, and Dark Inheritance 2nd ed used the Spycraft 1.0 rules. I've barely looked at the setting, but it might have enough supernatural rules to get by. In the novel, the two sides of Light and Darkness were run pretty much like spy agencies, so having Spycraft classes such as Hacker and Pointman wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Why didn't I think of that? Spycraft 2.0 has customization for other settings built into it. Dark Inheritance even adds a magic system. I feel stupid now, because Spycraft would be perfect.

I've seen the second film Daywatch, and it was much better.
(In case you all call BS, it was a "special copy" our Russian friend downloaded and
had to hand-edit the sub titles to make sense )

*begs* Is there any chance you can you share this wonderful and glorious thing with us??

A word of warning: I watched Night Watch in the original Russian DVD release, not the American one by Fox(?), and I said "Boy, that movie had a neat premise, but really dragged toward the end, got confusing, and never lived up to its potential." Then I later watched the version the director specifically added special subtitles to, that was recut for Western audiences, and I said, "Now that was a movie."

So, be careful: they don't bother to make it as clear or well-paced with the first version as they do for the American release. You may (or may not) want to wait.

I think the main drawback would be Spycraft's reliance on guns, which would have to be addressed in the campaign settings. I don't remember seeing many guns in either the book or the movie, and they'd be all but useless against most supernaturals, anyhow.

I have also been told the American releases make more sense/are better for Westerners.

However, our friend "movie tour-guided" us through the original versions, and I still loved them.

My understanding is that it's not illegal in America to download foreign movies that have not been copyrighted in the US. The Russians might be pissed, though. Watch out for men with umbrellas poking you in the leg.

Considering what I've read about organized Russian criminals, I do not want to piss off any Russians.

What about Angel? Seems perfect for that setting...

That's cause he wasn't a vampire hunter. He was a sys admin / programmer who got dumped into the position of field agent b/c of the girl.

He hunts vampires, therefore he is a vampire hunter.
