Re: overwhelmed
Ah, thank you so very much. Finally someone understands just how flummoxed I am
The Basic System book is, kinda sorta, the same as Sidekick mentioned above? It's replacement? Sidekick was 5th perhaps? Basic is the same but 6th? I believe my FLGS has a copy of Basic.
wiki is your friend. I see that Basic is, indeed, the replacement for Sidekick.
Yes DI was a fun system.
I have always been unhappy that the genre wasn't/isn't very well supported. I suppose it's because it's much harder to do scenarios. Equipment is easy, background too, but scenarios...
We leaned toward the action end as, I think, any RPG must. I loved the Libyan nuclear bomb scenario in DI.
Kinda on topic these day
I've been thinking of using Shadowrun mission scenarios for DI. Certainly not all of them would work, and those that do will require obvious tinkering, but it seems they do the closest to espionage style games. Even, perhaps, some of their scenario books.
Delta Green might work, nukes replace Nyarlathotep?
Are there any Hero scenario books for an espionage style campaign? Or something close enough that they can be converted? Something not totally action oriented.
by the way, off topic what does [Nonp] mean?
