After a survey of my players to see what kind of campaign they were interested in, I was surprised to see a clear, far and away winner (there were 7 options which the players ranked from most interesting to least interesting!). The campaign will be D&D 4E.
Here is the brief description I gave them of the campaign:
This campaign will be focused on political intrigue, starting in the paragon tier, set in the Kingdom of Six, 5-10 years after the Second Battle for Kingsford (this is campaign specific stuff, not useful for you, only included for the sake of completeness). The Kingdom must work hard to gain allies and be one step ahead of its many enemies during this turbulent time. The heroes will be members of the Queen’s Eyes (pretty sure I ripped that from Eberron), Queen Threll’s secret service of diplomats, spies, and assassins travelling throughout the Kingdom and in foreign lands as agents of the Queen.
So without a doubt, I want to give the people what they want. I have already delved into some Eberron books which include the Queen's Eyes and Black Lantern's, as well as some ideas for "secret agent" type adventures, but I would love to have more inspiration and source material, and I'm sure you fine people have some useful advice.
I want the campaign to be somewhat dark and gritty, and I'm not going to shirk away from some brutal elements in the PCs. I want them to be a scalpel used by the Queen, and I am interested in the moral gray areas of their jobs as secret agents, as well as the paranoia that comes with them.
So, are there any adventures or source books you can think of which might provide some inspiration or help with the campaign? What about movies or tv shows? I've thought of Bond movies and 24, of course. And more come to me by the day. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance for any words of advice.
