Wait, something is wrong.

I wanted to like this due to the customization options, but character creation is a massive bear for people who just want to play a game, and one of the immediate problems that came up was that there seemed to be no gun that was really better than a pistol.

A bullet is a bullet. Going to modern systems from D&D or whatever means accepting that guns are not inherently balanced. If you are pouring through the lists looking for the best broadsword for making trip attacks it is a bad deal. Besides, most pistols on the lists can't do automatic fire and have poo poo range or ammo capacity.

MY main issue with Spycraft is the depth of minutia it inspires; I remember the rabbit hole I ended up going down when I took a feat that let me use the BLEEDING rules which forced a lot more rules lookup and an amazing amount of mechanics.

I sorta wish they had done the Spycraft Lite they discussed at one point, d20 modern is too goofy simple and Spycraft 2.0 is too baroque (and gently caress, I play GURPS for preference) and minutia obsessed. A medium between the two would rule.

Spycraft 3 is in the works, but there's no set release date yet.

It has been in the works in various forms for a few years now.
