My Shadowrun group wants to take a break and play covert-ops pawns in middle-east chess boardgame.
(looose) Premises:
- Group has common mission objectives, but hidden nation agendas to accomplish;
- Each character from a nation (USA, Russia, France, Israel, Turkey)
- Each nation gives different skills, resource and agendas
- Each character picks a background specialty (weapons specialist, infiltration specialist, HUMINT specialist / Face, Driver/Pilot, etc), where each gives different skills
- Each character picks a background corps (Mossad, Seals, Spetsnatz, CIA, etc), each giving some bonuses
- Characters improve by accomplishing mission objectives... but they improve more by accomplishing hidden agendas.
- Group is supposed to be doing missions against not only ISIS but ASSAD, Al-Qaeda, Iraq and even Russian and allied bases too! One never knows what hidden agendas your commanders have!
Need more ideas, and how to make this work.
Fake edit: this is looking obscenelly similar to Cold City, Shinobigami and Paranoia.
