Classified RPG (James Bond 007 RPG retro clone) espionage game seeking players!

I am seeking a couple players for the new Classified espionage RPG. It is a retro clone of one of the greatest RPG's ever designed, the James Bond 007 RPG. We can decide if we want to share GM duties some or I will GM. The campaign will be in the style of the new James Bond 007 movies starring Daniel Craig and Mission Impossible mixed with the Jason Bourne movies in tone but not necessarily set in those universes. I will use voice chat over Skype and a virtual tabletop....likely Google + Hangouts with Roll 20. I'm looking to keep this group quite small. Any interest?
I would be very interested, though I am not fammiliar with the system
I used to play the old game, and still have it. so there's a new version? Interesting. Good luck with it, if it's at all like it's parent, it was a great game, by Victory Games. They had great modules.
I'm always interested in anything spy fiction related, but i'm also unfamiliar with the system.
I can help new players learn the system and will provide player aids to help when playing.
Also interested. Please message me!
So how many total want to play and what days/times are good for you all? Would anyone be willing to aid me as a co-GM if I can help you get the materials? I plan on using Skype. My name on there is warduke5150 if you want to add me and we can get the ball rolling.
I'm GMT+1 and i'm avaliable basically all weekends except 3-7 am Saturday my time due to other session. After getting a hang of the system i would be more than happy to GM some filler sessions.
Since we have multiple players interested, would you all be interested in making the campaign similar to a Mission Impossible kind of thing?
Anyone?

Well, i'm cool with special task force team theme, but i would ask you to drop this whole 'In case of failure or capture we will deny any involvement' nonsense. It's really annoying and restricting. it's a nice stake raiser in movies, but movie heroes never critically fail their rolls. With that said couple of questions, since i don't have any idea about setting, comes to mind 1. if one is " we're all good guys fighting a good fight against those bad guys with british or german, eventually russian accents and we always know what to do" and 7 is ' We're all corrupted backstabbing criminals on goverment paycheck assassinating other corrupted backstabbing criminals on goverment paycheck but we were all bad guys all along' kind of deal, where would you put a general tone of the campaign? 2.What about gadgets, hacking and handler support? 3. Since Mission Impossible is the main inspiration, am i to assume that story will be action packed?
Are you all still interested? I would like to get the ball rolling on this soon. Please post your availability here. We will be using Skype for voice chat. My name on there is warduke5150.
I will check the game out and get back to you. I've gmed spycraft but have not be able an actual player in a spy game.

Reposted as LFG. Daddystabz is in, as a player. Game will likely be weekly, so far to launch MID-MARCH 18th Tuesday evenings, but we can change it up. It won't be on a Saturday, I run One Ring that night. Could be a Friday, maybe. IT's A MONTH AWAY THOSE DAYS AND TIMES CAN BE WORKED OUT. NEW PLAYERS, NEW TO RPGS and/ or NEW TO ROLL 20 WELCOME. Game system is gonna be, in order of priority: 1) Classified RPG by Expeditious Retreat Press (unless I cannot get a copy of the rules which are currently out pf print but Daddystabz is working on it.) Classified is a retread of the old James Bond 007 RPG, by Victory Games, improved and upgraded. 2) Covert Ops RPG at <a href="http://dwdstudios.com" rel="nofollow">http://dwdstudios.com</a> This is a very rules light fluffy game that is an easier to deal with version of a very light spycraft with some rules borrowed from Top Secret SI. A lot less crunch, it should play in a very flowing narrative style. 3) James Bond by Victory Games (I have played it, run it, its' a classic, and I have the books, screens and adventures for it) 4) Top Secret: SI - My personal Favorite, I have a full crate of box for this, plus boxed modules. WE ARE NOT GONNA USE SPYCRAFT. TOO CRUNCHY. I have it, I LIKE IT, but won't run it for people I don't know. Looking for 3-4 more people Preferably 3. If you wanna play an occassional, or kind of "I always played D&D I wanna be a spy one time", that's cool too. In that case, we'll recruit more than 4. We don't want it to get too packed in. Rule ONE: No glory hogs. This will be a team of hand picked characters who will start off small and grow into a super spy TEAM. RULE TWO Character Death will not be common, but could happen, especially if you charge in guns blazing, heavily outnumbered. Most systems have luck points, you will need them for this but don't blow them all. This is going to be called COVERT OPS FORCE. Based in the US, an above top secret covert ops team will take care of business worldwide. Taking down enemy organizations, masterminds, minions, drug kingpins, people with the secret plans to wipe out earth. Hard core biowarfare terrorist cells. James Bond sort of stuff, but not with like flying cars. Parachuting off a mountain with a US flag parafoil would be that kind of in your face cool we are looking for. Guys with two guns leaping through doorways. John woo stuff. Some martial arts but not kung fu flying up into trees. No Player Vs. Player. I'm gonna run it. I'm a no BS, old skool narrative style GM seeking roleplayers who want to be covert action spies, where you are playing out a role that consists of more than I make my metal thing go bang, or I stabbity stab until I see red. You will have strength and weaknesses. It might be rules lite system, we are working that out. It will not be spycraft, too crunchy to run for people I don't know. I have it, but won't go there for this until I know who I'm dealing with. I'm 48, I've run tons of Espionage which is more of a favorite genre of mine than fantasy. Here's the LFG listing. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/11962/covert-op" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/11962/covert-op</a>... Hit us up on the LFG page link above if interested.
Got a logo done for this, on the LFG page.
Victor W, and Kevin H have formally applied. We'll be deciding the system by this weekend, I think, and press on from there. I need to get a look at the Classified RPG system which will start thursday when I buy it. If not Covert ops RPG will probably fill our needs. I'm going to start generating bad guy threats etc.
Ok im interested. Buuut. I want something more like daddystabz said: Daniel Craig... mixed with the Jason Bourne movies in tone but not necessarily set in those universes. I dont like mission impossible that much. And i dont think badguys will try to destroy the earth... Other than that, im in. What do you think?
Oh and, im applying mainly because of how awesome you guys are making the old James Bond 007 RPG sound. Definitly something i want to check out.
