James Bond And The Espionage Role-Playing Game

Today's column was going to be a different thing. I had planned another look at some super-hero role-playing games, continuing what I had talked about over the last few weeks, but when I awoke to news that British actor Roger Moore had passed away I decided on a change of topics. Instead today I am going to talk about the classic Avalon Hill/Victory Games RPG, James Bond 007, the Classified retroclone and why espionage games are a seemingly dying art that are still needed.

Consequence and Reward in RPGs

I like to compare trends in the game industry as a whole with individual segments, such as RPGs. Often what’s happening “out there” will turn up in the individual segments, if it hasn’t already.

Sean's Picks of the Week (0515-0519) 5e Wizarding School, FATE Supers & Wuxia, 7th Sea, and O.L.D.!

This week, I confronted my complicated relationship with FATE* (as well as my even more complicated relationship with grimdark and horror gaming**), which led to some really interesting discussions. Not a lot of grimdark among this week's Picks, but there's two FATE games, both of which I'd love to try as part of my exploration of this very popular game system. There's also the latest in the 7th Sea revival, a wizarding school setting for 5e fans, and our illustrious Russ Morrissey's O.L.D. entry in the WOIN revolution.
