Sounds pretty good though. A lot of these older, smaller games seem like candidates for something like a Savage Worlds or a d6 conversion. Take an existing system, preferably a lighter system, and use it for the setting with the cool idea. Looks like Tri-Tac still exists and did a d20 conversion at some point but that still doesn't seem like the right mechanics for this.Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-80841583149530321882016-06-20T13:30:01.059-04:002016-06-20T13:30:01.059-04:00We heavily modified the mechanics in order to play...We heavily modified the mechanics in order to play it, largely editing out the unnecessary crunch that bogged down the game as written.

What I remember about the game were rules for rolling what the quality of the Bureau 13 hidden cache was, and ablative armor rules for a heavy sweater (which admittedly was only one point).<br /><br />For my gaming group at the time this was decidedly a "like the concept but wary of the rules" kind of game. We talked a lot about what we would do with it, we just never played it.WQRobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436898737750581192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-78820914668634831672016-06-17T12:11:07.941-04:002016-06-17T12:11:07.941-04:00I have a vague awareness of this game, but it'...I have a vague awareness of this game, but it's not one I've played, and I don't know anyone with the book.
