This is a game of espionage, based on Greywulf's excellent Microlite20 system. It's intended to be a quick and dirty game, inspired heavily by the also-excellent Spycraft 2.0, but easier to get into and faster playing.

Inspirations range from NOLF to Alias, with a heavy dose of Mission: Impossible. Some A-Team may or may have not crept along for the ride. ;-) I also tend to use this as a toolbox system for making other games, such as "Where No Man Has Gone Before" or "Argo".

Core Rules

• SpyLite 2.0. Most recent revision: 6/8/09.

  Most recent changes: A huge number of typos, bug fixes and clarifications merged in from the most recent edits of Where No Man Has Gone Before. Added a section on creating new character classes if you don't like the stock ones, including two new classes as examples--the Toughman and the Rogue. Also added some new Talents and NPC's.

• New! The Spylite Dossier, a quick random mission generator.

PocketMods

PocketMods are pdf's that, when printed, can be folded into miniature books. They're pretty neat. I've created a couple of Quick Start mods below as player handouts:

• Quick Start/Character Creation

• Quick Start/Gear Selection

Other

• Argo, a fantasy game set in ancient Greece, using a fairly stripped down version of SpyLite.

• Cyberpunk. Rules for cybernetic enhancements and humanity costs, with bonus support for everybody's favorite cyberpunk-with-orcs-and-elves game.

• Giant Bug Invasion. Mad science, new Talents and giant bugs await in this supplement.

• Micro-admo of the Microlite20 forums was kind enough to make a SpyLite character sheet. Get it here.

• TMKT. A riff on the classic comic book and animated series about mutated adolescent martial artists of the tortoise variety. :-)

• Where No Man Has Gone Before. Star Trek from the era of foam rocks and smooth-headed Klingons.

• Zombiepocalypse. Zombies and guns, done micro. Intended for SpyLite, but can use the Microlite Modern ruleset just as well. Includes zombies (of course), "Dials" to tweak your setting (including the ever popular "Fear"), stock NPC's and more.
