Go Bag is about modern-day tabletop RPGs packed with bullets, backstories, and bad decisions. From tactical espionage to over-the-top action, we dive into games that have an element of tradecraft like Delta Green, Outgunned, Nights Black Agents, White Lies, James Bond/Classified, Top Secret, and beyond. Whether you’re a game master, a rules junkie, or just here for the subterfuge, we’ve got what you need when the mission goes loud.
