So I picked up Spycraft:World On Fire over the weekend. It was $10 and I can't resist a bargain. I haven't read that far into it yet but what I've seen I've really liked. Twelve pages of short bios on real world agencies, and seven pages of real world operations will go far in whatever espionage game I decide to run next. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book.

I like the James Bond RPG a lot! the mechanics are really good, the scenarios are stunning and the setting is excellent. of course, its a completely different cup of tea compared to NS&S...the two games have a quite different feel to them. like 'em both.
both the rulesbook and the For your information only GM-book contain info that can be used in other spy-games as well.

I have the Q Manual, but not the game itself. I'll have to track down a copy one of these days.

oh yeah, the Q-manual is pretty good too!!
and I forgot Conspiracy X which can be played as a straight spy-game (but the setting is a lot richer if you do combine all the elements from conspiracies to aliens to horror and the supernatural...).

I started out playing Top Secret/SI. Played a little James Bond, but when I found N&SS, it was all over for the other systems.
