Super Spies infiltrating my mind

 So, what's been distracting me from my investigation game at the moment?

Unfortunately true that I have veered off the path somewhat in the recent weeks. A chance read on the RPGGeek/BGGeek Solo Miniatures gaming list got me thinking about a stealth based minis game.

Originally the idea was going to be somewhat related to Assassin's Creed (AC), i.e. a human-centric renaissance-ish setting, but then someone mentioned a Bond related game and that idea seemed even more intriguing to me.

So I'm currently coming up with all the ideas and systems and background reading to make that a reality. At this moment in time I could easily run a game by myself (it is solo after all), but none of the rules are really written down other than as vague bullet points. Saying that I have only tested the AC version very quickly, which went really well on a stealth basis, but is way too small a sample size to know whether it really works.

What I really want to do is add in the Superspy elements and run another test game, ideally a few, and see if it works then. Then I need to write it out properly and see if others can run it.

I think the concept and rules have legs, and I want strike while I am still in the mood, since once that is gone the urge to complete it diminishes fairly quickly in my case. What I really need is feedback of any kind so it validates the idea I think, that would really help me.
