The RPG Room: James Bond, dilemmas and Klug, Chris Klug.

GMS Magazine Podcast Channel - RPGs, Boardgames reviews, interviews and advice.

James Bond RPG came out a very long time ago and, even though no longer published or popular, it is a very relevant game today. It is interesting that some games that have been out of print for a long time can, and indeed have some ideas that a vast amount of more modern games could learn from. Perhaps having ideas was easier all those years ago. Or simply the industry was more audacious than today. Or we pander to the “easy design” a bit too much. I don’t know. But the fact remains that when one reads Chris Klug’s James Bond RPG, it is not easy to find a spy game that fits so well both to the genre and the IP. It was thus an honour to have Chris on the show to talk about dilemmas in RPGs and the extent of their importance. This one, my friends, I can say is one of the good episodes. Enjoy!
