Pointman Hacker Thief achieves the goal it sets out for itself: It is a lightweight system with elements tailored to the espionage genre. If it stumbles at all, it is in deciding which part of the spy genre it wants to emulate. Whilst the artwork and introduction inspires thoughts of the epic shoot outs Jack Bauer, the rules draw it into the more realistic world George Smiley but the lists of equipment and weapons would seem more suited to a overwritten spy novel.

Don't be put off by the complex looking cover. Within its well designed pages, this book contains a smart and simple RPG system built around who characters are, rather than strings of emotionless numbers. Using an action point system, the game escapes traditional character sheets as look up tables and make the sheet a core part of the actual mechanic. Very easy to build new characters, my new first choice for pick up games.
