The Sandbaggers and Queen and Country were both suggestion I gave Jimbob for his setting thread. I keep on thinking about them. An idea struck me. I think it would be really neat idea to play this. Each player could play two characters. One character would be the field operative, while the other would be someone in the operations room. One character would be the action/adventure portion. The other the political intrigue/infighting. I can the field agent having a target in his sights, while the ops room character in trying to wrangle permission/clearance to take out the target. Does this sound like a good and/or interesting idea to anyone else?

I am totally unaware of the series you mention. The Wiki makes it sound very viable. The divisions you outline might have some issues if there were realtime conflicts (stuff like players talking to themselves) but could be fun as well depending on the roles. So, clear definition of the role of the Ops vs Field. Also, clear definition of the scenes. I would also make sure your group has good buy in tot he concept otherwise you could get everyone ignoring the Ops side in favor of what could be a more traditional spy game on the Field side.

I do think the division would make a great "Experimental" game session though. Go in with the understanding that we are trying something new and if it works we hang with it, if not we change or quit.

Neat idea.

It's a trap!

Isn't there a forgie game like this?

Not being swine I wouldnt know. I just thought it would be fun playing both the action and political roles.

People accusing me of being swine. And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
