Thanks for the reply! I feel my entry this year didn’t really do what I wanted it to do – I had another idea which was supposed to be a hack of Firebrands, with the roles, relationships and hidden motives relatively similar to yours. But it got overcomplicated with a token bidding economy and I couldn’t get it to work! So that’s another reason I’m happy to see your game! 😊

If you feel like checking it out, I have a long-term project called The Service which is going to be a PbtA Cold War espionage game inspired by Le Carré, Len Deighton and The Sandbaggers. I have a playtest kit up on my itch page, but it’s a bit out of date. Just want to do some adjustments and try to get a newer version out as soon as I have the time & energy!

Hah, is that you? I remember The Service, I looked at it a while back! I really will have to try it someday! 

Also funny you mention the Firebrands system: last year, for Mapemounde, Flavio and I were working on a Firebrands-esque spy game, but didn't manage to pull it together in time. So we just had to come back with a spy game this year! It was a bit of a different project though - the idea was to play it over a map of europe, with each minigame taking place in a different city, in a different time, slowly building the story of two spies chasing each other for years. Very Smiley vs Karla, again, but from a different angle :)

Heh! Great minds think alike!

Still might try to put together a Berlin SIS station Firebrands/The King is Dead game one of these days. If nothing else, because I’d love to do UK/DDR/US passport role sheets for the characters...
