George Smiley was in a comic?


That's why I was asking if it was okay.

Since George Smiley was featured/referenced in League of Extraordinary Gentleman I'd think it'd be okay. @ErsatzEmperor @Lord Wraith?

I applaud the eagle-eyedness. I'd love to see how this one works out anyway.

I hate to be that guy, especially to @Byrd Man (sorry, mate), but isn't George Smiley a bit of a stretch? I just pulled out my copy of the Black Dossier and if you count all the panels, I doubt 'George' gets to a full page. If you hadn't told me, I might well have missed the reference (I probably did before) and it's not like he resembles Le Carré's character in a way that matters. Considering there's so many spy characters that can be pulled from comics, it seems a bit to odd to take one from literature.

It probably is a stretch without a doubt, yes, but if he’s mentioned in a comic continuity as a character that exists he definitely falls under the ‘indie comics’ clause we sort of added. Does he have a lot of stuff to go on? Maybe, maybe not; but I do trust Byrd to handle it and from my perspective I’m not sure what harm it would do to allow the inclusion?

He's George, M's secretary, that's the character. All the Le Carré stuff is ultimately conjecture. George Smiley is not in any real way, shape or form a comics character. And I'm fine with whatever you want, really. It's just my nature as a nosy, contrary son of a bitch to say: aren't you opening the gates a little too far? 'Comics' is in the title of the RPG for a reason.

It's not so much the character, it's the lack of appearances in comics? By that rule, I could play Bilbo Baggins because there's Hobbit graphic novels. I just think it depends on how well the character fits into the world. As long as it's not too out there (looking at you, manga) then it should be good to go. I didn't realize a middle-aged desk jockey would cause such a stir.

Not that I'm making it included at the moment, but I can name several comics and characters within that'd work in the sphere of the game. Not all manga is "outlandish" or "out there" and perhaps not even the average manga. The distance and opinion you guys have of eastern comics concerns me sometimes; it feels like you guys have never read a manga.

Guess I have something to discuss in the GM panel, huh.

Why not both? He barely appears and is barely what you call a character. That he's a reference to George Smiley is likely, but it's not confirmed. So he's George, M's secretary.

And let's not call this is a stir. I'm just voicing my opinion - and without support at that. So again, I'm fine with whatever outcome. I certainly don't want to hinder you in the story you want to tell.
