Back To Basics is a great translation of the D20 Modern classes to Spycraft 2.0, and of the Spycraft class abilities to the D20 Modern talent tree structure (with a name change to call them knacks.) I picked it up to find new things to add to my Grim Tales game, and so some translation was required. However, I did find that the work was very well done, and integrated the Spycraft engine nicely. If someone is looking for a way to do D20 Modern scenarios using the Spycraft Engine, this is the product I'd use. For those that like art in their PDFs, there was none in this one. I don't mind it, as I buy RPG products for content, not artwork; others may disagree, however (and such is their right to do so.)
<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Excellent translation of the D20 Modern classes into Spycraft terms; loved the Core Abilities concept.
<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Being a D20 Modern fan, I was hoping for something a little more D20 Modern-oriented, as the game mechanics of the abilities were still very Spycraft Engine-oriented. Still, there's enough here to work with, so that's only a minor setback.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br><BR>[THIS REVIEW WAS EDITED]<BR>
