Spycraft: Shadowforce Archer


If you want to play in a world of espionage and spies.... then Spycraft is for you. The game itself can be divided between our own modern world, or that of the alternate earth with Shadowforce Archer. Originally published under AEG, the setting is available from Crafty Games.

On this alternate earth there is a whole network of chains of spies, from governments to industries, seeking control of local economies, nations, and politics. The Archer Foundation is a neutral global spyforce that has its hands in everything. The group provides a consolidated spy network to insure global stability.
his network is challenge by other such groups (e.g. Pan-Asian Collective, European Commonwealth, and the African Alliance) that which to their own regional agenda. Adding into the mix our individual organization that seek total world dominance; the Shop and the Hand of Glory.

The action is designed to be fast paced, a reminiscent of the spy genre. It uses a variant of the D20 Modern rules systems and designed with a new set of character classes; Faceman, Fixer, Pointman, Snoop, Soldier, and Wheelman. Of course there options to add in FX abilities such as magic and psionics if you wish to introduce a bit of the macabre and unusual.
