Thrilling Locations is a 1985 Spy fiction tabletop role-playing game supplement for James Bond 007 published by Victory Games. Originally published as a separate supplement, it was later included with the boxed Basic Set for the game.
Thrilling Locations is a supplement which deals with the types of locales commonly featured in James Bond stories, such as casinos, hotels, restaurants, trains, boats, and planes; it also includes game statistics for non-player characters and random encounters appropriate for these places. [1]
Steve Crow and William A. Barton did a point/counterpoint review of Thrilling Locations in Space Gamer No. 76. [1] Crow commented that "Thrilling Locations is an excellent buy, not only for James Bond 007 players but for those who play Top Secret, Mercenaries, Spies & Private Eyes, or any other secret-agent RPG." [1] Barton commented that "Maybe I just expect too much of Victory Games, but Thrilling Locations is a disappointment." [1]
Bob Neville reviewed Thrilling Locations for White Dwarf #71, giving it an overall rating of 7 out of 10, and stated that "On the whole, I have very few quibbles about this supplement and would whole-heartedly recommend it to other Bond GMs." [2]
