Shadow Protocol [Free]

Shadow Protocol [Free]:

eYjezN.png

⌖  An ultra-lite ruleset for running espionage thrillers. Built on the flexible, minimalist core of the P2AXIS roleplaying system.

⌖  Supports any style, tone, setting, or historical era (real or imagined).

Fast character creation that makes interesting spies with unique abilities, flaws, and backgrounds. Uses a statless framework with freeform skills and traits.

⌖ Optional, Blades in the Dark-style freeform equipment mechanic for manifesting disguised weapons, getaway vehicles, and slick gadgets right when you need them.

⌖ Dirt-simple modular rules for things like mounting suspicion, informant loyalty, and ammo tracking.

⌖ A Top Secret-inspired luck system that lets you fudge rolls and pull off narrow escapes, with the caveat that you never know when your luck is about to run out!

⌖ A handy, setting-agnostic mission generator for prepping your next covert operation. Beware that some prompts can turn your game from a standard coop affair into a pandemonium of crisscrossing deceptions and turnabouts!

⌖ Draws liberally on great ideas from published games like James Bond 007 and Classified, Top Secret and Top Secret S.I., and Covert Ops, then distills them down to their purest essence with an emphasis on flavor and ease of use.

Two formats:  17 x 11” four-panel tabloid, ready to print and fold, or simple 8.5 x 11”.
