i'm currently working on a possible setting for qags, roughly entitled "Dirty Vice" which will be a tribute and homage to the cop movies and shows of the 80's and 90's. now i've got a lot of inspirational material, but i've got this gut feeling i'm missing some. here's my current list:

dirty harry, beverly hills cop, lethal weapon, 48 hours, death wish, die hard, tango & cash, demolition man, judge dread, robocop, a-team, sledgehammer, miami vice, last action hero.

am i missing any?

also i have blowback rules, big scary gun rules, general cliche themes and rules of the cop movies, archetypes, and a bunch of random stuff that needs some fine tuning. ( i was on a hot streak last night, 7 pages of hand written notes and ideas spilling down onto the page)

a quick question or two: does anyone know where i can get the list of hierarchy/ ranks that occur in the police department? also. does anyone know of a good resource for modern weaponry, specifically handgun models and other weapons that countless goons might wield?

can anyone point me in the right direction?

well, its been about a month now. i've only been working on D.Vice on the weekends, but i've spilled 17 pages out of my head. now comes the fine tuning. hopefully its up to run in a few weeks.

i must absolutely thank AMC for the non stop running of dirty harry movies. great to watch and catch the cliches.

Have you considered submitting Dirty Vice as a QAGS qik pak and getting it put on PDF? We have had others write PDF's for Hex Games and if it meets the criteria for PDF..it may be something we are interested in.

This area really isnt my specality though. L8ON is the person to ask about PDF's and qik paks.

i would definately love to see it in qik pak format. once i get some basic ruels down, i'll type it up for sure. i'll make sure i talk to l8on about it.

Not sure Tango & Cash or Death Wish count as cop movies. I know there are more, but all I can think of are:

Hill Street Blues
TJ Hooker
Colors

R. Talsorian put out a really good gun guide called Edge of the Sword back in the 90s, but I have no idea if it's still available anywhere.

yeah i know, i even spout off in my notes that death wish is a vigillante movie group rather than a cop movie, but both death wish and tango cash still follow the general rules of the genre
