wremus Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi guys. I'm trying to set up a spy game in Dark Champions. For anyone who has tried this, what was the premise of your game? I was thinking of using MI6 and just using the James Bond model: agents are brought in and briefed and then are sent out. But the problem is that I might want an American angle. Anyone have thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba smith Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 how about this "? an amertcan agent is on loan to MI16 and the expected culture clash ensues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wremus Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Or.... joint US/British operation. Then the players could decide which they wanted to be. Very cool, bubba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Do a search on The Sandbaggers TV series. There were a few joint USA/UK operations in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wremus Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Did the search. Perfect. Yes, I think Sandbaggers has a bit of the feel I would wish for in my campaign. But I would add a long action scene / set piece like from James Bond to break up the chatter now and then. (The Sandbaggers characters would talk about how real spying is nothing like James Bond, but I want to have my cake and, yes, eat it too.) Wikipedia's Sandbaggers entry mentions Greg Rucka's Queen & Country, which I read when it came out. It strikes me as a balance between The Sandbaggers and James Bond. So your post (tkdguy) has helped me a lot! I realized that Queen & Country is the kind of game I'm aiming for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba smith Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I suspect the next few DC spy games will be based on the movie KINGSMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
