Black Seven

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

BLACK SEVEN is an independent espionage organisation that undertakes deniable operations deemed too politically sensitive for governments, corporations, or private individuals.

Stripped of the marketing speak, BLACK SEVEN's Agents break in to places, sneak around, steal data, beat up guards, hack computers, get into running gun battles, and occasionally assassinate people. Sometimes, they do this for Queen and Country. Sometimes, it's for God, America, and Mom's Apple Pie. And sometimes it's because a nice lady with an indiscriminately European accent handed over a suitcase containing five million in non-sequential fifties as a downpayment.

It's ten minutes into the future. You live a life of luxury, at least until you get the call from BLACK SEVEN. Then, you go to risk your life. Whether you do it for the money, for the safety of the free world, or to expand the definition of the “free world” is up to you. All Control cares about is that you get the job done.

BLACK SEVEN is:

58 pages of modern espionage RPG inspired by stealth-action games like Deus Ex, Alpha Protocol, and Splinter Cell.

An abstract system for representing position and stealth without the need for maps or precise measurements.

Focused on stealth action with Agents defined by what actions they take when infiltrating an enemy facility.

Creative Commons licensed, so one purchase feeds the gaming needs of a whole group. If you like it and got it for free, I hope you buy it.

Multiformat, including the rules and a sample adventure in PDF, ePub, and Kindle format, and a host of PDF reference sheets—including a business-card sized Agent Record.

I've been reading over the rules, and I’m trying to figure out the way Control’s use of tokens works. If I choose to use tokens to add Features, do I need to do so before the Agents begin a Milestone, or can I do so while they’re in the middle of a Milestone? (For example, if it looks like the Agents are about to get captured or killed while carrying out a mission, can I spend a token to add Friendlies that the Agents were unaware were there and that I hadn’t previously planned to add?)

Also, I’m curious as to why Trace Objectives are required to have at least two tokens to start with. I had assumed that meant that they had to have at least two Areas (or one Area and one Feature), but looking at the Facility Record for the biker bar in Operation: Grey Unicorn shows me that isn’t the case.

This is a great rules set, and I’m hoping to run a game of this in the very near future!

Hi,
I've also discovered this excellent game and I believe the tokens have to be used before the start of the Milestone to give a fair fight: if the Control can spend a token during the facility it can be viewed as a way of cheating for the players. I guessed if you have the trust of your players, this can be easily overwritten by houseruling.

I got the same question for the Trace Objectives, and I hope the creator of the game will answer here.

I hope to test this RPG soon with my players, seems really exciting!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
