Black Cats Gaming has launched its second Kickstarter campaign for the action and espionage roleplaying game, The Spy Game. The new expansion book, titled the Spymaster’s Toolkit, brings new rules, tools, and options for both players and game masters. 16 new class archetypes will be introduced—2 per class—including the Magician, Operator, Cyberneticist, Smuggler, Commando, and Inventor. Complete with class features for each one, players will also be able to choose from a chapter of feats to expand their agent’s skill-base.
Black Cats Gaming is an independent publisher, comprising of Samantha Webb, James Barry, and Susanah Grace. Webb draws on years of publishing and design experience from her work at Modiphius Entertainment with brands such as Fallout, Star Trek, and Dune, while Barry’s producing and design experience includes Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, Dropzone Commander, and Cursed Captains of Cthulhu. Grace’s art direction and illustrations appear in Star Trek Adventures, Fallout: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game, Dune: Adventrues in the Imperium, Call of Cthulhu, Rivers of Blood, Haunted West, and Beyond the Woods, as well as Cursed Captains of Cthulhu.
A library of new gadgets and vehicles will equip agents with a variety of equipment for their missions, ranging from antique spy gadgets from the beginning of the Cold War to the near-future technology of cybernetics and drone warfare.
The Spymaster’s Toolkit will provide a multitude of ways of building villain lairs from the ground up, with associated lair actions, as well providing a cast of new NPCs, villains, and masterminds to fight against, for the good of humanity.
The Spy Game’s quickstart is available to download from DriveThruRPG, and the Kickstarter campaign can be found here.
Prospective agents who didn’t back the first campaign that funded the publication of The Spy Game’s core rulebook, GM screen, dice, and missions have the opportunity to purchase these items through the Spymaster’s Toolkit’s Kickstarter campaign.
