Shadowcraft: The Glamour War brings you James Bond-level intrigue with Mission: Impossible-style teams working to keep the world's precarious balance.

But that's not all. With Shadowcraft¸ we took take Fate to the edge and beyond. Shadowcraft changes the way Fate is played on a fundamental level¸ creating an entirely new experience:
- The conflict system was rewritten to allow for the epic chase and fight scenes you love to see in spy movies. The back-and-forth conflict resolution gives you the opportunity to take a hit to win the day!
- Arcadia is a magical place¸ and every single character in Shadowcraft has some form of Expression¸ the common term for magic.
- We've taken inspiration from other Fate game to create a robust¸ yet simple¸ investigation subsystem.
- Good spies need good gadgets¸ but super spies need super gadgets! Forget boring weapon/armor ratings¸ each gadget you acquire--or are given by the quartermaster--will be a unique item that will help you complete your mission.
