[QUOTE="King of Old School, post: 2448952, member: 8789"] The Spycraft 1.0 corebook and the "silver-cover" SC supplements were completely free of any kind of setting or metaplot. Shadowforce Archer was the kind of convoluted, metaplotty setting you describe but it was completely self-contained. Unfortunately the mechanics weren't as self-contained as I'd have liked -- some more generic stuff (new core classes, martial arts rules) was included in the SFA "black-cover" supplements and as I had no interest in SFA, that material was lost to me. The SC2.0 corebook will by all accounts be a completely setting-free toolkit RPG, and apparently the setting supplements will be more-or-less self-contained. I don't think the problems you describe will really be an issue. At least I hope not! Agreed about the shaky nature of AEG's web presence, but hopefully if the RPG sells well it won't be so overshadowed by the CCG and who knows, it might actually get its own website... KoOS [/QUOTE]
