JAMES BOND PLAY CHASE EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE OF PLAY
The GM is running a boat chase along the Nile River in Egypt. James Bond has just rescued Q from an
organisation Supremely Hostile Antagonistic Terror Nautically Evil Regime (SHATNER) that was
seeking to extract him for his knowledge of a satellite tracking system he designed. James has a 17
skill in boating and is being chased by a henchwoman known as Joanna Poker who has a cover as a
stunt-woman in high profile Hollywood movies. Joanna Poker has a boating skill of 21. James has
the initiative and calls that he wants to draw away from Joanna Poker by trying to out run her…
GM: Pulling away, Ease Factor starts at 8. Do you want to make it tougher?
James: (Thinking that an ease factor of 8 would give him a chance of 136% to succeed) No, I’ll
passhhh.
GM: Well, Joanna Poker fears no man! She bids 6.
James: (6 puts him at 102%, still a likely success as any roll of 100 is a failure) Really, she is as feisty
as she is deadly, so I will play the game, how about we go 5 and make things interesting? (5 gives
James an 85% chance here and it is a risk but he wants to own this chase)
GM: (Joanna Poker's chance is still above 100% at 105% right now.
The GM wants to alert James she is not some hood so she pushes it a little more) 5! You can almost
hear the laughter across the water! She bids 4.
James: (He is nervous now. Ease factor 4 puts him at 68% and that is no guaranteed situation! If he
stops now, he rolls his test at ease factor 5) O.K. He laughs trying to act confident. Let the little lady
see what she can do.
As the GM wins, she makes her roll against a success chance of 84% She rolls a 23 on her d100 and
that puts her at a Quality Rating 3 success. Following this James then rolls his d100 looking at 85% or
lower. He lucks it and gets a 84 on his roll putting him at Quality Rating 4
GM: Looks like Joanna Poker is not just a pretty face. As you power up, she matches you easily and
gets a little closer to you as she fakes you into a corner of the river thick with crocodiles replete with
fusion dentures…
