High Adventure Games Moving....

After trying this and several other Blog providers, I have opted to move to wordpress to host my blog and site. The main site is at: www.highadventuregames.com, but I've added a feed from that site here as well. I hope you can stop by.

Good Day to All,

Q-Branch Update: Ex-CIA chief Tenet joins "James Bond" research firm


http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061024/pl_nm/arms_qinetiq_dc_3%20LONDON (Reuters) - Former U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet has joined the British research firm thought to have provided the inspiration for 'Q', the character who creates spy gadgets for James Bond. Tenet has been appointed an independent non-executive director of QinetiQ, the company said on Tuesday....

I thought this was an interesting article for those fond of the espionage gaming genre. I find it interesting that the "Q Branch" is now traded on the London Stock Exchange. I've added a header photo of Desmond Llewelyn, famous for his portrayal of "Q" in nearly every James Bond film until his death in 1999. Though I do like John Cleese quite a bit, Mr. Llewelyn will always hold the distinction in my mind as the original "Q". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Llewelyn

Whether an exploding watch, retractable machineguns built into a Lotus Convertible, or a full-out jetpack, gadgets are one of the key elements of many spy games. To me they have always been a fun element for the GM to tinker with. I'll have to look for my brother's old character Tom Davidson who drove a suped up version of our father's car (an Acura). I'm sure I have all the stats somewhere....I'll add them if I find them (there'll be some ransacking involved).

I've been a longtime enthusiast for games of this sort and am somewhat of a collector. Back in the day, we played a lot of Top Secret SI (by TSR), but have used material from the original Top Secret Game, James Bond 007 RPG, MISSION, Spycraft, and others. For fans of espoinage games (whether in print or out), I recommend the Modus Operandi website. It is an excellent resource. http://www.modus-operandi.co.uk/.
