Wh00t!

The illustrious Ken Hite, mad freelancer and writer of the infamous "Out of the Box" webcolumn, has named Spycraft 2.0 on his 3 book list for the Best of Breed d20 for 2005. An excerpt:

"There are people who will tell you, perfectly sincerely, that all valuable advances in game design are occurring far away from the dodecahedrons, in the wilds of the Forge or wherever. But neither assertion holds true. The best current d20 (or OGL, rather, as it's left most Wizards-licensed work behind) game design is keeping pace with the best crazy indie stuff, only it's happening to a game set played by three quarters of the hobby. These three dissimilar books are the proof -- one is a reconsideration of character action and potential, one an improved genre emulation, one an expanded and integrated full-game system [Ed. -- this point is referring to 2.0]. All are among the best that contemporary RPG design has to offer."

Thanks Ken. We like it too. Read the whole review here.
