[QUOTE="Mistah_Richard, post: 609039, member: 7304"] Of course, I'll argue that most consumers of RPGs do not want to spend hours and days researching when they can drop 12 or 15 bucks on a solid product. Also, just because someone made a crappy D20 Afghanistan, it does not mean someone can do MUCH better. My idea originally was a hot spots of the world: Pick almost any african region, Russian Black Market and Mafia, Afghanistan, End of the World Cults, places that could be worked into almost any adventure. Ultimately, there are enough people out there taht want Modern Day Techno Thriller RPGs (remember all those folks that used to play Twilight and MERC 2000?) and while I'll say Spy Craft certainly has a good following, Spycraft is fantasy as you get. No Berlin 1961, no TRUE Cold War espionage stuff, nothing but Gadgets and Bond style stuff, which is cool, but certainly not the end all be all of Tecno Thriller RPGs. With that said. Floorplans. What if you did a floor plan book with player aids thrown in? Here is a map of the bank and in the back of the book there is a letter head or deposit slip of to match the fictional name of the bank floor plans? Suddenly, not only do you have the maps everyone is dying for but you also have these cool value added gadgets you can add to make your game cooler. Each player aid would be generic enough to allow some customization by the GM ( the letterheads would be blank, deposit slips, hotel stationary would have a pplace to print the address on, etc). I wonder if you did it as a download if you could include a print template to allow a GM to simply run it through their printer. Hmmm... Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
