[QUOTE="Festy_Dog, post: 816242, member: 2561"] Ah, kewl idea, I'll post it here :D: === PLAYER === 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. Your response is especially important if you have participated in the previous Section 9 play-by-post. Right now I'm playing a freestyle mercenary campaign, its on hold though because the GM isn't feeling quite well and he may be ill for a while yet. It seems to be a good game though we have only had it going for a little while. 2. How familiar are you with the D20 system? Very. I'm currently playing over ten d20 games on the Enworld boards. 3. What's your favorite spy movie or book? Movie: Ronin, without a doubt (dunno whether it'd be considered a spy movie, its close enough for me). Book: Gorky Park, Polar Star, that series (forgot the exact details, trying to find the third book in the series). 4. 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? Hmm, a Fixer, but the character would be ex-special forces. Nothing really fancy, a smart/agile guy with a bunch of useful skills, enjoys working with a team. Very loyal to his comrades, friends first, self second. Strong sense of honour, does what he believes is right, but wouldn't let personal opinion get in the way of his job unless it was extreme circumstances. === TONE === Morality: 1/2/3/4/5 5: Morality is always in shade of gray Realism: 1/2/3/4/5 2: Cinematic Outlook: 1/2/3/4/5 4: Successes are rare Seriousness: 1/2/3/4/5 5: Almost entirely serious Continuity: 1/2/3/4/5 3: Some long stories and some episodic ones === SETTING === * Modern Day: The world outside our window with some minor alterations for the sake of the game. === CHARACTERS === Importance: 1/2/3/4/5 3: Agents occasionally have an effect on world affairs Starting Level 1/2/3/4/5 4: Beginning Agents: 2nd - 4th Level Points For Abilities: 1/2/3/4/5 3: Average Campaign: Average Ability Score of 13 Character Training: 1/2/3/4/5 3: Agents come from both Agency training and outside organizations Character Connections: 1/2/3/4/5 3: Some of the Agents know one another Character Origin: 1/2/3/4/5 4: Agent backgrounds are mostly rooted in the mundane === AGENCY === Agency Types: 1/2/3/4/5 2: Mercenary Company: The organization is a respected affiliation of soldiers-of-fortune who work for the highest bidder. They often end up entangled in brush fire wars and doing work that no government agency can (or wants to) do.
