Interest Check: Blockbuster MI-style Action Flick One Shot using 6Q system (Rules Lite FU hack)

The Pitch: Want to scratch that high-octane summer blockbuster action flick itch? We're looking for a team of novice covert agents to undertake a relatively routine mission that goes awry and quickly spirals into something much larger.

Welcome to the Hermes Project/Le Projet Hermès, an off the books international intelligence agency that operates loosely under the banner of NATO and its signatories. The player characters will be a team of relatively new agents sent to Istanbul, an exotic and teeming metropolis that sits right at the crossroads of influence of the West, Russia, and the Middle East. Their mission is simple - travel to Sirkeci Station to intercept an asset arriving from Kazakhstan with important information and escort him to a safehouse from whence he can be secretly and safely returned to Hermes' HQ in Brussels. At least, that's the plan...

The Game System: The game will use the 6Q System (available for free on Itch.io 6Q System), which is a rules lite simplified hack of Freeform Universal. It's very easy to pick up and allows for a lot of flexibility and creativity.

Adult Content and Controversial Themes: Think of this as a PG13 action flick. There will be violence in that sort of vein, but shouldnt stray from what one would expect from a movie in the Mission Impossible, James Bond or similar franchises.

Game Duration and Posting Frequency: I'm intending this as a one shot, but if it goes well, am open to a sequel. As to the realtime(tm) that it should take, maybe 2-4 months? Posting frequency will be daily so that we keep the action and momentum flowing.

Player Experience: None really required, except maybe having seen some movies in this style. The rule system is narrative based and simple, with no addition or other mathematics involved, so well suited to newcomers or experienced players who like the freedom of a system that doesn't impose arbitrary constraints on your imagination.

LGBTQ+ friendly - everyone is welcome.

How to Apply: If this sounds fun or intriguing to you, drop a post in the thread. If we get 2-4 people, we can give it a go.

Final Thoughts: Thanks for taking the time to read this and bearing with my newbishness.

Game thread: Le Projét Hermes

yes i'm intersected. To think we get to save the world, driver a really cool car, and connect with a romantic partner of your choice.

All while looking really cool!

Cue wind machine, annnnnnd.... action!

Interested, but can't commit to daily posting. 5/week is usually what I strive for.

That's totally cool, life happens ;)

I'll leave this thread open for a few more days just in case, but if you all are still wanting to give this a try, we can open up the game thread and get started on the Session 0 stuff this week. Let me know in thread. :)

Still interested. 💪
