I know, I know. A DAY later I remembered a sidebar I forgot. Add this into the Intelligence Gathering section.
Just One at a Time?
Intelligence Gathering assumes that Agents are handed one mission after another. Operations might opt to give the Agents multiple missions and let them decide the best order of completion. Unfortunately this causes a bit of a hiccup. In time Intel gets old, stale, out of date.
No matter how many Missions Operations hands to the Agents they only ever get one Intelligence Gathering Phase. Agents must decide where to spend their Intel points for every Mission given to them prior to starting any one of the Missions. Operations is encouraged to give longer Deadlines when handing out multiple Missions at a single time.
For every Mission brought to completion the Rank of Intel for every other mission the team has been given decreases by one. This includes any Missions that may have come up and had Intelligence Gathered during the course of another Mission.

Danger Close v2
With the vast and sweeping changes that have been made since Danger Close started releasing on this site, I’ve instead opted to stop the daily release and just put out the compiled PDF of the Danger Close v2 guide. The PDF is freely available by clicking on the icon to the right. Feel free to download it and let me know what you think!
Thus ends the daily releases of Danger Close.

Hey Danger Close fans. Got some good news \ bad news for you. We did the first playtest of the system last Friday and a good majority of it has been revised and rewritten. I’ve been working on a local copy and once all the details are finalized I’ll do an update here. Unfortunately a lot that has already been released (and some stuff coming up) has been changed so what you get off the site here is pretty far from what the final game will look like… it’s also a bit unplayable. A brief synopsis of a few of the more radical changes:
- Moved away from a Roll\Keep system to a straight dice pool system.
- You no longer spend a single Agent Point to roll extra dice, now you spend an Agent Point for every additional source you wish to roll in.
- Assets no longer degrade with every use, now you can choose to “Push” and Asset which would make them degrade but you don’t have to spend an Agent Point.
- There are now two types of Equipment and some new rules for how Equipment is used.
- Lowered the amount of points you get for starting MICE to bring the TNs closer to the average Agent TN.
- Advancement details have changed (not released yet)
- The Intelligence Gathering phase (not released yet) has been almost entirely re-written.
- Added a new Investigation phase to buff out the Intelligence Gathering phase.
- Added new Survival rules for when Agents get trapped behind enemy lines.
- Narrative Control rules have changed (not released yet)
- Added a couple of side bars to discuss a couple of issues that came up during playtesting, including dealing with Shared Assets.
