John I liked your list of how to make a campaign. It is true many of these things are the single run along the way to a bigger campaign.

One comment though. You commented your bond villain, and then listed the henchmen in several bond movies. Yes these were the heavies that bond had to defeat, but they all had someone behind them who was really pulling the strings. Someone not near as memorable, but the true villain behind the plot.

So I would make one addition to your list. You need to get together the villain and major muscle who will stand between the team and muscling over the villain.

My bad on the speed typing.  Meant to say Bond Villian (w/henchmen etc, etc, etc.).  Dr. No and Goldfinger are all well and good but they are just evil genius with good wall papering.  I kind of have them divided up by their henchmen because they are all doing their impersanation of Chess Kings with little to no direct threat capacity.  There are exceptions like 006 in Goldeneye but for the most part its just evil genius w/cat, w/gold fetish, w/ metal hands, w/ traveling circus, w/alternate ID who runs soul food chain, etc.  You get more out of seeing the middle management guy your going to have to deal with which is its own Villian subtype.  I also have to say I was drawn to mentioning Pussy Galore in the middle of my rant.  I have always been a fan of Honor Blackmans epic performance in Goldfinger and the first 'dangerous' Bond girl.   I did mess that up on my description and thus my detracted from my point, thanks for letting me attempt to ungoof it.

No problem. Being a big bond fan I just felt I had to point it out. Also it shows that the villain doesn't have to be the big bad muscle for a campaign to work, and in some ways it will work better to have the mastermind behind it pulling the strings not the muscle that the team has to keep going against.

Dataheist? Where is the dataheist? Did you just sandwich that into Retrieval with extraction and recovery?

Dataheist is a variation of the Retrieval, I tried to make that clear in the description under Retrieval. (Extraction is like retrieval, but is a person, not an item)

And John makes a great point, I'll be putting something similar in the main post. Thank you for your insight.
