James Bond 007 RPG (Victory Games) Actual Play | Go Bag Podcast Vignette

Welcome to the Go Bag Podcast! In our debut video "Vignette," we dive into the legendary James Bond 007 Role Playing In Her Majesty's Secret Service (published by Victory Games in 1983).

This isn't a long campaign—it's a fast-paced "Vignette" designed to test the system's mechanics. Watch as Agent Vincent Drake (Sean) and the Handler (Harrigan) put the game's unique rules to the test.

IN THIS EPISODE: We travel from the dusty streets of 1970 Cairo to a high-stakes cliffside casino in Spain. Agent Drake is on the hunt for the assassin "El Scorpion Blanco." Along the way, we break down:

🏍️ Chase Mechanics: A high-speed pursuit involving a stolen motorcycle and a Tuk-tuk.
📈 The Quality Rating System: How the multiplication tables and success levels work.
💋 Social Combat: Using the specific "Seduction" and "Persuasion" rules on the Contessa.
🎲 Gambling: Can Agent Drake survive a high-stakes Blackjack table against the villain?

If you love TTRPGs, retro gaming history, or espionage adventures, you’re in the right place.
