    I am planning on running a sci-fi espionage game in the Babylon 5 galaxy. My short list for game systems were Mongoose's Traveller (They have the rules for Babylon 5 set for Traveller already) and SJG's GURPS. Now after reading all the posts about Savage Worlds I had to investigate. Well I bought the Savage World game with the three sci-fi toolkits and now Savage Worlds has made my short list a little longer . I really like the way they are trying to remove a bunch of the bookwork from the referee.

    Does anybody have skills, hindrances, and edges for espionage flavor for Savage Worlds? I have the book so I do not need anything from it. I am looking more fore house rule stuff. It does not need to be fancy, just some ideas.

    I usually had players run two characters so if one of their characters was incapacitated they did not need to sit around and wait to do anything. One cool thing I like about Savage Worlds is the Extra system. It looks pretty cool with the ability to give the players an ally or two for them to use a support characters. Now they can focus on their main characters but still have things they can do if that characters is incapacitated. I will need to run a few mock battles to learn how it works better, but I feel that I have a good understanding of the game already.

    Thank You,
    Rabbid Jack

    That link goes to a PDF of Reality Blurs' game Agents Of Oblivion. As far as I know it one of the only espionage settings for Savage Worlds at this time. It is more of a espionage/horror, but it might have something for your use.

    *edit - btw, that is a 40 page players guide that Reality Blurs published for FREE! As to not mislead you where we're getting that book.

    Thanks that hit the mark.

    It is kind of funny I was going through the list of licensing links on Pinnacle's site and skipped over the link to Reality Blurs. One link that was interesting is Phipps Gaming Studio. They are working on a conspiracy setting "Has To Be Done". http://phippsgamingstudios.com/ I am not a big fan of the Weird stuff that a lot of these companies are putting in, but it is easily parsed for the good material.
