[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 4147867, member: 6957"] Another vote for Spycraft - a game designed to be modified, with the campaign qualities suggestion ways to do so. I currently have two games rolling - one Steampunk, the other Delta Green, two very, very different feels. The Steampunk game has a weird Scooby Doo vibe going, while Delta Green is, well, Delta Green - professional agents against the Cthulhu Mythos. In a few weeks I will be running a Steampunk game set in British India and the Middle East - I am trying for a Rudyard Kipling feel for that one, mixed with a bit of James Bond. (Jewel in the Crown is the campaigns title, hearkening back to the Great Game.) Supplements are coming out on PDF to support different styles, for example, combat heavy games can benefit from Practice Makes Perfect, which adds in more combat options (bought using weapon proficiency slots) and feats, while Fragile Minds adds rules for sanity and Lovecraftian critters. (My first use of Fragile Minds had a character dying when his will snapped like a twig, and he tried to flee from the Dark Young emerging from the swamp.... Fun for the whole family!) Back to Basics is much more useful if you are converting from D20 Modern to Spycraft - direct conversions of the classes from D20 Modern, brought up to a full twenty levels. While I have it none of my players have made use of it, they are using the standard Spycraft 2.0 classes quite happily. The Bag Full of Guns supplements add more guns, they have seen use, but are not game changing. The most use I have gotten from them has been the Soviet underwater assault rifles.... Origins of the Species adds fantasy races, with Light of Olympus adding Centaurs, Fauns, Gorgons, and Tritons, while Classic Fantasy adds Dwarfs, Elves, Orcs, and Pech (Halflings). While I have them, and like them, I have not used them - they do not fit either of my current campaigns. But someday... someday.... The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
