[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3592324, member: 53"] I recently started running [I]James Bond[/I] again. One of the things that struck me was how great the props were for the game. They had a [I]For Your Information[/I] pack that included a pad of MI6 blank dossiers. Each adventure had a manila envelope (marked "Top Secret," "For Your Eyes Only" and "Classified Information") with various quality handouts for the adventure. For example, the Goldfinger II adventure contains: MI6 dossier on missing scientists. Postcard clue Q-Branch Aston Martin DB-V details with picture Program for Light & Sound show (where an important scene takes place) Intercepted Telegram Notepad clue Hand Drawn map with directions Brochure for a historical site (another important location) Another hand drawn map to previously mentioned locaion IIRC, Call of Cthulhu was also well known for these sort of props. Of course, this game came out in 1983 and ended in 1987. Computers were just beginning to scratch the surface of their RPG use. Today it should be an easy task to create a Microsoft word template for the MI6 dossiers, for example. I expected that RPGNow would be loaded with props of this sort, especially templates. However, the pickings are quite meager. Even a website search finds very litt.eIn fact, Paizo is the only ones who have really scratched the surface, IMO (with their item cards). Am I missing anything? Are there any products or sites that cover this sort of field? [/QUOTE]
