Feel free to elaborate.1. Have you ever played in an espionage roleplaying game campaign? If so, describe it - what you thought about it that worked and what you thought didn't work. I've played Top Secret, the James Bond RPG, Gangbusters, Cyberpunk and probably a bunch of others I can't remember right now.2. How familiar are you with the D20 system?I'm fairly fluent with d20 but I've never played Spycraft before, even though I own the main book.3. What's your favorite spy movie or book?Top 5 Movies (in no particular order)Sleuth with Michael Caine and Laurence OlivierThe Conversation by Francis Ford Coppola with Gene HackmanPrime Suspect BBC series with Helen MirrenFrom Russia With Love with Sean Connery as James BondThe Thin Man film series with William PowellTop 5 Books (in no particular order)Fatherland, Enigma, Archangel three different novels by Robert HarrisBerlin Noir trilogy by Philip KerrThe Spy Who Loved Me by Ian Fleming (completely different from the film)100 Bullets graphic novel series by Brian Azzarello & Eduardo RissoPlanetary graphic novel series by Warren Ellis & John Cassaday4. What sort of character would you likely play in a Spycraft game if you had no limitations? Is there an established character in the genre that appeals to you that you might use as a basis?I'd have to go for the prototypical Brit spy - someone like James Bond or Harry Palmer, depending on the tone of the game of course. === TONE ===Morality:5: Morality is always in shade of grayRealism:2: CinematicOutlook:3: Successes balanced by failuresSeriousness: 4: More serious than light-heartedContinuity:2: Mostly episodic with some continuing storiesSetting* Cold War: The long winter between the West and the East. or* Modern Day (Alternate Universe)CharactersImportance: 3: Agents occasionally have an effect on world affairsStarting Level 3: Experienced Agents: 5th - 10th LevelPoints For Abilities: 2: High Powered: Average Ability Score of 13-14 Character Training: 5: Agents are all Agency trainedCharacter Connections: 4: Agents mostly know one anotherCharacter Origin: 4: Agent backgrounds are mostly rooted in the mundane=== AGENCY ===Agency Types: 4: International Espionage AgencyOffices and Distribution: 4: InternationalSponsorship: 4: GovernmentAdministrative Control: 2: Loose Laws: Agents can get away with minor violations but must avoid committing any serious offenses.Agency Credentials: 2: Unknown: No one has even heard of the Agency. They get no cooperation and receive no attention.Hope this works for you. Let me know how we need to proceed with character creation. Just so you know, I'm not dead set on these answers. I can and would be willing to play in any type of espionage campaign.Jay</blockquote>
