Yes we are very productive at the moment!
Agents of SWING is a FATE-powered Spy-Fi adventure game in which you take on the part of secret agents, working throughout the world in the 1960s and 70s to avert catastrophe, punish evildoers and stop the two superpowers from annihilating each other. A slimmed down and sped up version of FATE, derived from Cubicle 7's Starblazer Adventures, SWING simplifies the system and lets you get right into the action. There are rules for agents, villains, henchmen and goons. There are rules for coming up with nefarious organisations, hints and tips on how to run the game (including a 'plot stress' adventure structure) and a ton of starting level PCs so that you can pick up and play right out of the book. A hit during playtesting at UK conventions, now you can finally get your hands on Agents of SWING and start laying into the enemies of humanity. Just do it with STYLE.

sounds interesting, pitty the printed version is lulu based or i'd grab it next week(cant stand lulu and there shitty postage costs).
I like the genre. I'm not a big fan of FATE.
How does the book measure up as source material for use with a different system?

I don't know about US shipping rates, but the European shipping rates are much better now. £4.00 for the hardback edition standard shipping.
I don't reckon it'd be worth your while just as a sourcebook, even though the BG is pretty good (IMHO) it's purposefully fairly sketchy to allow personal interpretations.
Disclaimer: I wasn't paid to make this post just the first one.
I'd never even heard of FATE when SWING was announced and I don't care if it's even clunkier and unplayable as Red Dwarf. I just had to have this book!
