Shadowforce Archer

INTRODUCTIONShadowforce Archer is AEG’s official world setting

for the Spycraft roleplaying game line. In the SpycraftEspionage Handbook, we introduced generic rules forroleplaying cinematic espionage games. The plots, characters, and organizations in the Handbook wereintentionally devoid of supporting backstory andunconnected to one another to allow the players maximum control over the details of their own games.Shadowforce Archer offers you a cohesive world inwhich to set your missions, and gives the players a collection of organizations to work for, linked togetherby a common goal — protection from threats of globalmenace.

But Shadowforce Archer is more than just a collec-tion of groups, NPCs and plotlines; it is an ongoingstory that you control. The material presented in thisbook constitutes the first episode of the first season ofour interactive storyline, in which you — the players —decide the course of events both major and minor. By including elements of this setting in your owngames, making decisions about them, and reportingback to us through the official Shadowforce Archerwebsite (www.shadowforcearcher.com), you determinethe course of events in this setting, and define theunfolding backstory. You decide who lives, who dies,and why. Visit our website for more information, and tosign up as an agent or Game Control to participate inthis exciting new multiplayer experience.

Note: This book does not contain the rules needed toplay. You must have the Spycraft Espionage Handbookto create and use agents.

A Brief Word About YouMore than anything else, Shadowforce Archer is

about you. Beyond the interactive elements (whicharen’t for everyone — thus they’re limited to the website), we’ve carefully constructed this book toinclude only information we felt players could use at thetable. NPCs are kept to a minimum, and presented withmultiple versions for games of different power levels.Plots are left open for you to adapt as you wish, andevery effort is made to limit the story to material youcan use as a springboard for your own ideas.

Further, we’ve included agent options for nearlyevery story element in the game. All three major psionclasses are included, as are rules for mystic agents, play-ing chemical monsters, and examples of all the majorthreats in the setting. Future sourcebooks will introduceand develop new concepts instead of fleshing out oldones. We hope you enjoy this approach to world design.

Terms you Need to KnowMany world-specific terms are used throughout this

book. If you get stuck and don’t know what somethingmeans, check out the Glossary (page 249) for a definition.

What This Book ContainsAll of the material in this book is meant for players.

We begin with the Shadowforce Archer Primer (pages7–32), which introduces the core themes behind thesetting and describes the Archer Foundation and itssubsidiaries. Players can jump start Shadowforce Archergames by reading the Primer, though material inChapters 1-3 are recommended for those who desiregreater depth in their games.

Chapter 1 (Shadow History) describes the secret history of the 20th Century which leads up to the setting in your hands. Over one hundred years of saga is detailed here, including events you only think youknow the truth about, and many that never made theheadlines.

Chapter 2 (Shadow Community) goes into greaterdetail about the Archer Foundation’s structure,resources, personnel, and goals. Sections are includedfor each of the groups (“Chambers”) that train and fieldagents for the Archer Conspiracy, including detailsabout their allies, enemies, and current plotlines.Inspirations and roleplaying hints for each group canalso be found here, along with 2-3 NPCs for each.

Chapter 3 (The Outside World) contains informationabout world powers outside the Archer Conspiracy (andperipherally linked to it), and threats to the global security of the new millennium.

Chapter 4 (New Agent Options) describes the differences between designing an agent for Spycraft anddesigning one for Shadowforce Archer, and offers anumber of prestige classes for advanced players. Rulesfor chemical monsters are also found here.

Chapter 5 (Psionics) contains all the basic rules forpsionics and playing psionic agents. Included are allthree base psion classes (mentalist, physical adept, andtelepath), as well as new feats and a healthy number ofskills (powers) for your agent to choose from. Finally,many new Psitech gadgets are located at the back of thischapter.
