OSINT-6 CHANGELOG 251107

Mophidius has launched a Kickstarter for The Spy Game, a 5e-based espionage roleplaying game. Initially our hearts sank, but to be honest, it’s surprising it hasn’t already been done. And the existence of one d20-based espionage game doesn’t mean we can’t continue developing ours. There are, after all, how many 5e fantasy games when D&D has and will always have the majority market share?

What matters is that we fill a different need. The Spy Game looks like it’s trying to fill the void left by Spycraft (which is still available, and the 2nd edition is available via print on demand, but it’s no longer an active line). It’s action-adventure focused, while we’re striving to be more grounded, using E6-inspired caps on character advancement and power creepy. There will inevitably be bad-faith actor who try to make comparisons, or say we’re copying them. We can’t concern ourselves with that. We just want to make our game, and make it the best that we can.
