2008 ENnies nominee for Best Electronic Product!

A world torn apart by fear, sewn together with lies...

Terror. It is a word we know well. It haunts our daily lives and changes the way we act, the way we think. Though we may not realize it, terror has drawn us into a new kind of global conflict that is fought not only in far off places but also in our hearts and minds. Einstein was only part right: World War III is not being fought with devastating weapons of mass destruction — yet — but rather with the strength of true conviction, the principles required to take a stand for a future worth saving. He was right about the stakes, though. They’re nothing short of extinction.

World on Fire presents a savage, uncompromising view of one possible future that is all too dangerously near. It is a dark mirror of the real world, disturbingly familiar yet shockingly different, in which spies and soldiers become revolutionaries poised to shape a future of their own design.

What will your tomorrow be? Are you ready to face your fears, root out the lies, and fight for it? The battle begins here...

Conspiracies, red meat for the masses, the tantalizing mysteries and puzzles built to comfort those afraid of the painful truth. The sanctuary of madmen, unwilling to admit the world is a dangerous place without direction.

It is somehow less frightening to believe that a sinister cabal is orchestrating every terrible event than to admit that events are out of control, beyond the grasp of human management. Conspiracy Theories are comforting, they tell us that all was once well before the bad people came, and if the villains could be removed, all would be well again. Those that believe such things are part of a lunatic fringe, seeking impossible explanations for either inexplicable tragedy or the frighteningly simple truth that all is not well with the world. At least, that is what the powers that be want the cattle of the world to believe.

Take care whilst reading this sourcebook, ignorance of the truth is a protection all its own. Within one will find:

• Details on the world’s most pervasive and sinister cabals such as the Illuminati and Freemasons
• Top secret information not intended for civilians
• Insight into the shadow world of black government operations
• The truth about alien involvement with human development and the complicity of the great powers in the abduction of the world’s citizens by extraterrestrials
• The secret shocking truth of the bloodline of Jesus
• All of the above cunningly disguised as rules for Spycraft 2.0 such as new feats, talents, classes, and equipment

See the world, meet interesting people - and kill them.

In every nation, for all the eons of history, there have been those that stand a watch, who fight for those who remain blissfully unaware of the need for battle. Combat Missions features fifteen challenging assaults against a wide variety of seemingly-unrelated foes. These missions are ideal for one-off inserts into your existing serial, or run in a series. In the Combat Missions campaign option, your agents face off against a sinister conspiracy, brought to light through the apparently unrelated events, and they must bring it down before the conspirators bury them.

Small but mighty...

The pistol-caliber carbine occupies an awkward tactical niche. Not as compact as a pistol, not as powerful as a rifle, and lacking a submachine gun's automatic fire... what's to recommend it? How about virtually no recoil, man-killing accuracy out to 200 meters, the same ammo and magazines as your sidearm, and civilian-legal purchase around the world – all in a lightweight polymer package you can hide in a tennis racket bag? Interested now? Yeah, we thought so...

Shooter's Guide: Pistol-Caliber Carbines is 93 Games Studio's first weapon supplement for the Twilight: 2013 roleplaying game. It examines the advantages and disadvantages of the "PCC" and provides detailed Reflex System information for 11 families of carbines and 7 companion handguns. Weapons detailed in this document include the Beretta Cx4/Px4 Storm, the Kel-Tec SUB-2000, the classic M1 carbine, and more. This dual-statted product also provides weapon traits and new qualities and feats for Spycraft 2.0. Whether you're walking point through the ruins of Chicago or running a low-profile covert op on Embassy Row in Belgrade, something here is sure to be a useful addition to your armory.

Fine Old World craftsmanship...

The bolt-action rifle was the infantry rifle of choice for the first decades of the 20th century; the assault rifle for the last. Between these two eras, though, a different and lethal breed of firearm ruled the battlefield. No plastic-clad poodle-shooters or effete science fiction props, the battle rifles of the early Cold War were solid, sturdy, and lethal. For the rifleman who wants range and punch in a package with classic aesthetics and the weight of history, there's still no substitute...

Shooter's Guide: Cold Warriors is 93 Games Studio's fourth weapon supplement for the Twilight: 2013 roleplaying game. It includes detailed Reflex System traits for 16 battle rifles and their variants, ranging from the first pre-WWII examples of the breed to those of the middle Cold War. This dual-statted product also provides traits for agents to deploy these weapons in Spycraft 2.0 missions. Lock and load, rifleman - the Known-Distance Range awaits!
