[Festy_Dog]

Well about the Enworld Spyrcraft situation. Ghostfox I think was the DM for the couple of games which came previous, I was in the most recent, but we didn't get very far.

On the matter of books, I only have the core one, so you're way ahead of me there.

Starting a game would be pretty kewl, I know I'd be interested in getting involved, but by the sound of it you may be the best candidate for DM available.

There have been at least two more games... Macbeth back in the day started to make one but it died before it started and nuke had a GI Joe game going on and that it actually made it a few posts into the actual game.

Nice collection of books btw.

[let me try this again... with the server problem it didn't let me post before]

I'd be willing to run a game and give this a shot. Let's see if anyone else is interested and then I'll rename this thread for recruitment.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like Spycraft or any modern game might lend itself better to PBP because typically there isn't as much combat.

As for as any game specifics... I could see myself running something in Shadowforce Archer world with my own spins just keep players honest who may have read thru the books. Let's see... 4-5 players sounds cool with maybe a few alternates/home-base characters. I'll hammer out more specifics as soon as we get a few more people into the fold. So I guess in a roundbout way -- welcome aboard Festy and hopefully we can get a solid game going.

Anyone else interested???

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Anyone else interested???

I could be, I haven't done anything with Shadowforce archer... I do own the book though... Most of my Spycraft books where for a GI Joe game, but it suffered the GI Joe curse...

Anyhow can you give us more details and what sort of characters you think the game needs.

Character creation details could be nice but I’m willing to wait for those.

 

[Velmont]

I like the systems, I even have the basic books, and a friend of mine have all or almost all of them. I tried to join one of the last game, but it never start. A game style Ocean's Eleven. I will surely try a Fixer. All the fixer I have done never got far.

Update

Ok… after giving some thought now and ideas I had long before I posted, here is where things stand at the moment.

It will be a Shadowforce Archer-based world. Meaning the PCs will be agents of the Archer Conspiracy. I’d like to see a mix of classes with no one duplicating if possible. Same goes for Chambers and Departments. A true mix. We’ll begin things at level 2 to represent the characters have completed their training and now have been assigned to this team. Pretty much anything is available as long as I have the book. So that opens up a few other base classes (like the Explorer) and new departments.

Here is the way I would like characters listed when we begin a Rogue’s Gallery Thread. You can also find examples of this format in most of the books except I don’t think the Main Book used this format, I could be wrong. We’ll be using point-buy of 28 to generate ability scores.

John Johnson
Codename: Johnny
Chamber: Archer
Department: Black Ops
Class: Pointman
Level: 7

Strength: 23 Dexterity: 4
Constitution: 14 Intelligence: 42
Wisdom: 609 Charisma: 71

Vitality: 102 Wounds: 14

Defense: 364 (+58 department, +35 class, +268 Dex, +104 Misc)
Initiative Bonus: +5 (+3 class, +2 Dex)
Speed: 50

Fort: +13 Ref: -6 Will: +74

Skills: Gather Information +7, Hide +745, Knowledge (messageboards) +74, etc.

Feats: Martial Arts, Silver Tongue

Attacks:
Fist +3 1d4
SOCOM +735 1d12

Gear: Lockpicking Kit, chewing gum.

As for the story/setting itself… The team will be one of a few artifact recovery teams Archer has assembled in the last few months to deal with other organizations. I’ll use the Real World™ as much as possible but I’ll change the names of certain things along the lines of most TV and movies. For example, the President of the US is not named George W. but instead will be someone else. However things in the past will have occurred like JFK will have been assassinated back in 1963.

I hope that’s good to get the ball rolling in the right direction. To all that join this game, I give you my thanks and only ask for patience as I will make mistakes as I’ve never tried this over this medium. I’ll do my best to minimize ‘em.

EDIT: I also have a tentative title for the game. Operation: Anthology.

 

[Mordhiem]

I am very interested, but is the fact that I only have the core rulebook going to be a problem? Also, I have only scraps of knowledge of Archer universe.

But still, I would like to join in. I am thinking something along the lines of a Snoop/Fixer mesh.

 

[2d6]

I'm a spycraft/pbp noob and I only have the core book availble. If that isn't a problem I'd like to play so count me in

 

[buzzard]

I'll toss my hat into the ring. I'm pretty experienced in Spycraft having run a home game and played Living Spycraft quite a bit. I'll wait to see what other characters have been made before I make myse decision as to what to play. What books are allowed? Just the ones you have or any? Just picked up Pan Asian Collective, and I might want to try something from there.
