Where the love at?

OK, true believers, I have a tale of mystery and intrigue for you. Once upon a time, there was a game released - one that really fired up a bunch of fans and converted others from their dark and misguided ways to the light of True d20 Goodness. It was known by many names - "The One Game," "The First 3rd Generation d20 Game," "Shamelessly d20," "The Best Thing at Gencon Indy 2005," "Spycraft 2.0." The game was well designed, affordable, flexible, and enervated those who looked upon It with a desire to run a Great Homebrew Campaign.

But this game's tale was one of woe, for even though many realized the greatness of this product, they didn't speak with one another, nor spread Its Holy Word across the great and blighted land of the contemporary gaming market. Not a review was found in any of the great halls of RPG.net, GamingReport, d20 Magazine Rack, or EnWorld.

And the Creators were confused as to why this was - how could their game, which excited a base downtrodden by a rough market, succeed so quietly? Why were the fans not at least trying to tell others of the joy that the game brought them? How could the word of mouth remain constrained only to the insular whisperings of the forums rather than the reviews section? If they could write reviews themselves, the Creators most certainly would - but that would be deceitful. So they asked the People so inclined to go forth and spread the Word to draw new faithful to the bosom of Spycraft 2.0 - not for their own profit but for the benefit of the community, the players, and the Game which they loved so.

Seriously. I'll give a cookie and a big wet sloppy kiss to the first person to post a thorough review of 2.0 out there somewhere. It really, REALLY would help us out...
