While everyone is eagerly awaiting Spycraft 3.0, our friends at Crafty Games have four recent releases which utilize the current 2.0 system, and all are sure to bring back fond memories of kicking it in front of the tellie – bowl of sugar infused cereal in hand – watching Saturday morning cartoons. While Crafty can’t make mention the cartoon properties – The Real Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Gargoyles – I certainly can and these titles harken back to each TV series with Spookbusters, Real American H.E.R.O.es Revised, Origin of the Species: Transmechs Revised, and Stone Sentinels respectively.
Real American H.E.R.O.es Revised clocks in at over forty pages and can be had for $7.95 in PDF format at DriveThruRPG while the other three are each over twenty pages and $4.95; you can snag the whole bundle of four at a discounted price of $14.95 (effectively getting Real American H.E.R.O.es free) as well. Keep in mind these are supplements so you’ll want to have the Spycraft 2.0 core rules to bust out the cartoon fun and that 500 page rule set is currently priced at $19.95 at DTRPG.
From Crafty Games:
Hunt down oogie boogies in the dead of night and free your city from the terrors of its dead! In Spookbusters you play everyday heroes rubbing shoulders with mad scientists and employing cutting-edge technology to protect normal people from paranormal entities. It’s a dirty job, and it’s often thankless too, but there are plenty of excellent perks including…
- Play a buster or a spook! Character options are included for both sides of the veil.
- Grab your pick of feats to master the hunt, unrael the occult, haunt with the best of ’em, or sell out for fame and fortune.
- Assemble a crack team and build your own spookbusting franchise in a microsetting of Biblical proportions.
- Gear up with the best ectoplasmic sensors and sonic traps a maxed out credit card and a blown graduate grant can buy.
- Face down unholy threats and chase down twisted plot seeds beyond reckoning.
- Eat a twinkie (a really, really big twinkie) and save the world!

Do you have the guts to be a Real American H.E.R.O.? Or are you more interested in the fast-growing field of global appropriation? Perhaps a lucrative Morrigna franchise, study under the Shirobikou masters, or a rowdy tour of the world’s darkest roads is more your speed? No matter your flag, recruiting starts now!

UPDATED: The revised version of Origin of the Species: Transmechs features new art and upgraded layout.
Soar against the moon and stalk among the shadows of the night! The Stone Sentinels are gargoyles, a species that has potentially been with the earth since the dawn of time, or may be freakish and unexpected branches of wild evolution. They might become invaders, a dominant species, a “monster” to be hunted and killed, or part of a diverse network of species in your world. So many possibilities open up for your Spycraft 2.0 game when you introduce these remarkable creatures…
- Play as a gargoyle or a human inducted or indoctrinated into their ranks (or perhaps as a human hunting them down)
- Rise to power as a Legendary Gargoyle exhibiting the ultimate power of your race
- Embrace cunning PsyOps and strike terror into your foes
- Beat the odds with Uncertainty feats and customize your gargoyle with oh so many Species feats
- Tailor your campaign to your specific play style, and even incorporate the stone sentinels and their allies and enemies into your existing Spycraft campaign
This special release features cover art from Karine Charlebois, who contributed to the official Gargoyles comic series from Slave Labor Publishing.
