My idea would be a game with three agents all top agents, likely all 00 status (and one could work for SPECTER since the bad guy will be a renegade and hunted by them) out to stop a madman from doing something very bad.

Name would be: Die Tomorrow Not Today.

Some expected Villians will be JAWS and I have some others planned worthy of three deadly agents. Yes 007 can be one. I would like one woman 00 or similar.

*Quenches urge to jump right in* I like the sound of this but I was wondering if RISUS is a game system because if it is, I havent even heard of it >.<  Which would probably make it hard to be in this game.

If Ida's in i'd sign up too, but I don't have the system either.

Just type RISUS RPG into your browser its a 100% free system the core rules around 15 pages. Its nicknamed the ANYTHING RPG and is as simple as it gets. Example each player uses CLICHES' roughly a job or character class for example if you took THIEF in a fantasy game it might be Burgler [Sneak Around, Break into Places with Lots of Funny Tools, Fight with Light Weapons, Lucky].

So you would have Cliche's that fit a really good action oriented spy- military ones, law enforcement, athletics, femme fatale, martial arts, communications, sciences or others. I use these rules because they are free, easy, cover lots of possibilities and work great for on-line games. Or convention pick-up games.

Well okay, that sounds good. What time period will the game be set in and is there anything else to think about before whipping up a character idea to PM?

Time period 1970, Cold War period, locations will very and expect lots of action. In and out of bed.  ;D

This will be James Bond sort of spy genre with all the stuff they won't show in the movie...

Oh basic RISUS rules but expect a history [Tale] nothing big. You will get 12 Dice for Cliche's. Just remember these are a GROUP of related skills for each one just note each one and have fun- I need a 00 with MI-6 and one other agent. Can be CIA, NSA, KGB, Chinese Intelligence or SPECTER (they are going to want to stop the renegade). I want one female agent can be one of the 00's.

Yes RISUS is just cool- and FREE. Kind of like Tunnels & Trolls but easier.
