Publication history

Thomas Kane wrote GURPS Espionage in 1992, a sourcebook that set out rules and equipment for spy-based role-playing campaigns using the third edition of GURPS. The following year, Kane wrote GURPS Operation Endgame, four adventures that used the rules set out in GURPS Espionage. The 128-page softcover book was illustrated by Dan Smith and Doug Shuler, with cover art by John Zeleznik, and published by SJG in 1993 for use with the 3rd edition of GURPS..

Reviews

In the July 1993 edition of Dragon (Issue #207), Rick Swan recalled the stellar work done by Thomas Kane in GURPS Espionoage, "a superb treatment of international intrigue." He likewise admired this book, calling the adventures "heart-thumping plots worthy of Ian Fleming." Swan concluded with a strong recommendation, saying "the adventures feature enough realistic detail to make them convincing, and enough Hollywood gimmickry to keep them fun." [2]
