[QUOTE="Lugh, post: 713477, member: 9404"] I think your friend is seriously confused. There was no d20 license before 3rd Ed., other than what was released to some game companies to get the ball rolling on producing supplements (which, as far as I know, wasn't much). There was certainly nothing published before 3rd Ed. On the other hand, there was an incarnation of Spycraft that sort of existed before d20. It was called Series Archer, and I believe was being developed under AEG's Roll-n-Keep system. However, this project was scrapped in favor of a d20 system, and never actually saw the light of day. Only a few Kapera-worshippers like my wife ever found out about it. It had a REALLY cool website, though. However, I really doubt that is what your friend was referring to. It sounds more like he's heard half of at least a dozen major rumours and stories of inside information. He's tried to piece them together in his head, and come out with a very muddled mess. If I were you, I'd ask him if he can come up with some kind of corroboration. Any product ever published will have at least some kind of web presence, if only a lonely fan site that hasn't been updated or taken down. [/QUOTE]
