  1. The problem I ran into in the past is someone new would come on and take a yeoman position and somehow end up trying to take control of the ship for the “greater good” without the game master knowing.   I have been working on something that is more dark intelligence that floats the line but not like crazy.

    I think the critical thing is to consider what Section 31 could add that Starfleet Intelligence couldn't.  As @Devon Romjin (Rune) wrote, essentially the whole point of them is to accomplish missions that the Federation's moral compass won't allow them to, which all by itself implies that it's impossible to maintain that sort of utopian society without someone resorting to being dirty and underhanded.

    If the idea is telling a spy type story, I think doing it as Intelligence rather than Section 31 allows that just as well - while adding the added challenge of a moral and good character trying to do work like that without violating what it means to be part of the Federation in the 24th century.

    I do think that they can potentially serve as fun bad guys now and then, but that it has to be made clear through storytelling that the Starfleet officers, the ones sticking to the values that the Federation espouses, are able to accomplish their objectives just as well or better than the Section 31 folks for the very reason that they're being true to what made the Federation strong in the first place.

     

    Agreed. Darker projects did something similar to this with audio dramas.  Obviously it gets weird when riding timeline agents from section 31 but If designed correctly could be some great storytelling.

  3. Does anyone believe their is a correct way to write for Section 31?   I’ve seen it abused in the past way to much which is why so many sims leave it to fleet management or game masters to run them. 
     

    however I believe if a group actually discussed it and there were rules in place a section 31 mission or arc would bring out some great game play and character development (minus all the abuse).
