    Tempting players into spycraft?

    I've been thinking of mixing genre's all along, the agency that the players will innitially work for will be in actual fact secretly controled by demonic forces (a bit like Wolfman and Hart in Angel) who are tricking the players into performing missions against the divine. Over the first 3...

    [spycraft] Agency names

    I've ended up going for a similar concept as just "the agency". Namely "the foundation", inspired I am ashaimed to say from Knight Rider. This name has the advantage of being vague enough for me to keep the actual goals of the organisation very secret, even from the players (bwa-hahahah)

    [OT] Accomodation in New York

    Just to add my two pennys in... I went to NY last month (to get married in central park zoo of all things). As it was my wedding/honeymoon we didn't worry too much about the cost, but the hotels in manhatten are very pricey indeed. The food however was not, at least not compaired to London...

    Tempting players into spycraft?

    My gaming group used to play a whole load of different RPG genres and titles about seven or eight years ago, but then the group disintegrated due to half of us going away to university and all the other kind of things that split up 18 year olds friendships. We recently managed to pull...

    SPYCRAFT: GC Screen??

    As I've posted elsewhere, I think it's a bit pricey for what it is (although it's a tiny little bit cheaper here in England - I think I payed £12.95 which is about $18), but it's going to be reasonably useful. The charts on the GM's screen are titled as follows: Combat Sequence Combat actions...

    (Soycraft) Character sheets?

    Yes I've got it, and no its not worth the money:) However it does give you a good reference sheet on the actual screen, something that I haven't been able to find on the web and couldn't be bothered doing myself.

    Spycraft RPG: Any one play?

    I've got spycraft, and a darn good read it is too. I'm having a few problems trying to persuade one or two of my group to play in it as they are firmly stuck in the way of D&D. It never used to be that the group was reluctant to try anything new, but these days the pressures of working and...

    [spycraft] Agency names

    Anyone got any good names for agencys? I'm going to be starting up a game soon and have got writers block when it comes for a catchy agency name. I've been toying with H.I.V.E but I can't think of any words to go in the acronym!! perhaps the World Inteligence Organasation (W.I.O) or...

    How infrequently is too infrequently?

    You could just try doing on off games, but keep the same characters. Kind of like stand alone episodes which have a beginning, middle and an end in themselves - Kind of "Star Trek the next generation" rather than "Bab5". Of course an onging and complex interlinked campaign is more enjoyable...

    What do you want in a role-playing club?

    I answered another four or so after the initial three (the same questions as Ashtal). I checked the: "never been a member of the RPGA" box - maybe that has something to do being taken onto anther satge. The could just be seeing how to persuade non members to join up. I dunno... (eddited...

    How do you create your character?

    I start by thinking very carefully about what kind of character I want to play - what will fit in well with the other characters in the group, which class haven't I had a go at yet, hat kind of philosophy do I want to bring to the game. I think about this for about two weeks, mulling things...

    new spell - alter spell signature

    Mmm...yes you're probably right I would disagree, you could specify that "the next fireball I cast will look like this...." and as long as you cast the fireball within the spell durationit would appear like you designated. Perhaps this could be made clearer in the description. Thanks for the...

    DM on a Budget Wants to Spice Up His Game

    My group uses those glass beads that people often have in vases or bowls. You can generally buy them in any shop that sells stuff like candles and mobiles and stuff. You know, the place where you buy presents for people you don't know very well. They generally cost a couple of pounds (erm...

    3 Sure-Fire Ways to Run A Successful Horror Adventure!

    We have a GM who does this. Be warned it can be overused - everytime he says: "you are in what appears to be a 10 foot by 15 foot room" There is a unanimous and sarcastic cry from the players: "but what is it really?!" Everything can become a cleche (sp) if it is over used.
