I'm kicking around an idea in my head for a new game and wondered if there might be any interest in this particular setting and approach. I'm considering a game focused on espionage in the late 60s/early 70s (or an approximation thereof). I'm thinking The Avengers/The Prisoner/Swinging London/Bond with a dark edge and a bit of psychedelic feel. The game would be open to a variety of scenarios, from Bond-like spy seduction to wicked, mind-warping interrogations using psycho-active drugs to bizarre conspiracies. Characters could work for western nations or the eastern bloc. Blackmail, extortion, bribery,etc. all would play a part. Real-world politics wouldn't really enter into it, serving as merely a backdrop, with folks employed by places like "the Ministry," "the Agency" or the "Home Office."

I'm curious to know if anyone might be interested. I see it as in the Heavy category, though I'd focus on plot and roleplaying as well as sex.

Count me in! Calm, cool Brit a la Emma Peel for me!

Sounds intersting, give us some more details

It does sound like a very interesting idea.

definitely...i'm good at english characters *grin* but wouldn't mind having a go at a russian

Lyria · « **Reply #6 on:** May 09, 2005, 06:36:47 AM »

Sounds fun! I would definately be interested.

Akhanu · « **Reply #7 on:** May 09, 2005, 09:05:10 AM »

A russian camarad here, say the name to be Yevgeni Filipov.

Has anyone seen that wonderful ars... personality of Alexndra Dischova? :p

Lirliel · « **Reply #8 on:** May 09, 2005, 09:11:14 AM »

What are you implying comrade Filipov, the KGB would like you adressing one of there prime agents as a piece of ass.

Akhanu · « **Reply #9 on:** May 09, 2005, 09:16:10 AM »

Don't worry, tavarish Dischova. I already have all the paperwork completed for everything. I had to fight really hard to have the admnistration giv up that nickname I so much detested for you, that "nipl-bite" or what was that..!

deraxeman · « **Reply #10 on:** May 09, 2005, 09:27:20 AM »

Of course, Comrade Filipov changed his name. The original was Shrivelup Andropov.

On another note: I'll probably not be starting this game right away. I did want to gauge interest though. Glad to see there is a good deal of it.

Akhanu · « **Reply #11 on:** May 09, 2005, 09:34:21 AM »

Yap. Whenever you decide for a go, you now know to have two perfectly aligned russian agents achieving the best teamwork there can be

I hope Lirliel-player didn't mind my idiot comments regarding her russian agent character. :)

Lirliel · « **Reply #12 on:** May 09, 2005, 09:51:29 AM »

Not at all, when its all a joke and good fun you can tease me as much as you'd like

Pixie · « **Reply #13 on:** May 09, 2005, 07:29:37 PM »

I'll be different and be CIA girl. ;-) Or would that be CIA Pixie?

Rett Butler · « **Reply #14 on:** May 09, 2005, 07:52:07 PM »

I like the premise. Long live the Queen. There's nothing like a British spy.

kylie · « **Reply #15 on:** May 10, 2005, 07:39:09 AM »

Hmm, I still have a Thai mercenary lounging around who likes to be on top of things... but she could use a good fall every so often...

This sounds interesting.

3ldr1tch · « **Reply #16 on:** May 11, 2005, 09:37:17 AM »

Sounds good to me. Count me in. (Its a definate bonus if I get to seduce an Amy Lee lookalike *grins*).

Lirliel · « **Reply #17 on:** May 11, 2005, 12:41:27 PM »

*Smirks* Yeah thought this was a nice pic of Amy. But my characters won't be like her, couldn't possible pretend to play such a great person.

*Jammers on about 30 minutes about Evanescence and Amy Lee, then realises nobody's really listening and shuts up*

kylie · « **Reply #18 on:** May 12, 2005, 07:37:29 AM »

I love the look of Evanescence, but know next to nothing (except a few of their nifty lyrics and a costume shot or two). You can babble at me for a bit, I might learn something.

I take it you've heard their music, though? Next to Within Temptation, they are one of my favourite bands.

Lirliel · « **Reply #20 on:** May 12, 2005, 01:21:43 PM »

*Quirks eyebrow* Whoot! Another Within Temptation fan, the only good thing in Holland I reckon

Ps, for telling you about Evanescence... well this might not be the place, wouldn't want to fill up the thread with 'bs'

Iago · « **Reply #21 on:** May 15, 2005, 06:58:27 PM »

I'd be interested in giving this one a go, too.

If Pixie doesn't mind, I'd like to give playing a CIA agent a shot...

And if the CIA's not taking any new members...how about an Irishman who works for...who knows?

Iago

kylie · « **Reply #22 on:** May 30, 2005, 06:07:43 PM »

Just checking in. Is this still in the works?

Xerial · « **Reply #23 on:** May 30, 2005, 11:47:50 PM »

If it is, I have an agent (Likely CIA, possibly freelance) kicking around, one I've played extensively elsewhere...

LordAnubis · « **Reply #24 on:** May 31, 2005, 01:22:29 AM »

Might be able to put together someone fun to play.
