We're using the pre-gen PCs located <a href="http://www.pelgranepress.com/?p=9504" target="_blank">here</a> that I wrote and Hypersmurf gloriously formatted. I have info on playing GUMSHOE in post #28 of the sign-up thread, but we'll address any rules as they come up.Players currently include Mudbunny (Oliver Quinn, Irish explosives expert who's weeks away from retirement), Committed Hero (Hung Ke Lee, American hacker and adreneline junky), Walking Dad (Dr. Felix DuBois, French assassin and almost certainly not a serial killer), Kaodi (Mace Hunter, American con-man who would really prefer to keep secret the fact that he probably is responsible for killing Quinn's family). Hypersmurf is playing Gabriella Castellanos, Colombian sneak thief obsessed with Hung-Ke, and 71gamer is playing Persephone Cardiff, ice-cold analyst and mastermind.<a href="http://www.pelgranepress.com/?p=1081" target="_blank">Night's Black Agents</a> is a glorious RPG by Ken Hite about super-spies vs vampires, basically the Bourne Conspiracy if Treadstone was being run by the undead. We're playing it straight here; no vampires, just good old-fashioned Super-Spy action.[/ooc]OPENING SHOT: The sky is a gorgeous shade of blue. We're miles high, and the camera's looking down on an idyllic landscape of puffy white clouds and far-away terrain. The sun shines high in the sky overhead, a 737 airliner flies away from the camera at the top of the frame, the music swells, and --Suddenly, something shoots past the camera at high speed, falling towards earth.Not something. Someone. Two someones. MACE HUNTER and DR. FELIX DuBOIS plummet towards the ground, hair whipped back by the high wind, DuBois looking imperturbable and Hunter looking devastatingly handsome. Clearly, this image is going to be on the movie poster. Neither of them have on parachutes.[ooc][mention=59043]Walking Dad[/mention],      [MENTION=1231]Kaodi[/MENTION], what do you do?[/ooc]The camera pans down. Below them and off to the east, five other sky-divers are getting away. It's reasonable to assume that they have something that Hunter and DuBois particularly want.</blockquote>
