I kept laughing and shouting out loud to an empty room, "Holy crap! This is so damn cool!" (expletives deleted for our more sensitive audience members). I have NEVER read a more thoroughly entertaining, exciting, innovative and BRILLIANT RPG in my life. I am DYING to play it!!! I am dying to adapt many of its mechanics to my 3e D&D game as well... AEG has taken WoTC's d20 framework and built it into a souped-up high performance hotrod that burns rubber all the way up the highway straight into RPG heaven! After I read it all in one compulsive, page turning sitting, I jumped up and danced around the house in my underwear singing, "Start spreading the news!" (from Sinatra's "New York, New York"). Finally I calmed down enough to get dressed, nuke up some chicken fried rice, warm up the computer and dash off this unbridled, bubbly, "thumbs up" enthusiasm. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Spycraft rocks on so many levels I can't even accurately begin to describe all the cool features... Departments, Classes, Skills, Feats, Gear, Chases, Action Dice , Mastermind System for creating villainous organizations, Sample villains/adventure ideas, the whole damn thing is so impressive I had a mental orgasm reading it. Not just from early 80s Top Secret nostalgia (Operation: Rapid Strike, anyone?), or from the Top Secret/S.I. 1987 revamp rules set, but from absolute, dumbfounded AMAZEMENT at the new innovations to the d20 system this game delivers in spades. I have not been this excited since the 3e PHB came out. In fact, I am even more EXCITED by Spycraft. I am stunned, awed, delighted and left reeling all at once. Even if you don't use it to play spy or modern setting games, there is a literal TON of material you can YOINK from this hardcover book of CRUNCHY golden GOODNESS!!!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH I JUST DIED AND WENT TO RPG HEAVEN!!!THANK YOU AEG!!! YOU SURPASSED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS I'VE EVER HAD ABOUT ANY GAME EVER!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />I am dead serious.
