Real life comhuh? Check out your local toy store, there might be just
what you might be looking for. A toy company (TOMY I think) have
released "Cybercomm ??? (somethings)", Two headsets in each box (about
15 ukp) and they have a fairly decent range (about 100 metres ISTR),
work off standard slimline batteries, and are guaranteed to make even
the most evil GM paranoid.
They work, they're a sad grey colour, and fit just like a headset
should, over your head. The wife spotted them in our local Woolworth
store, so we bought a pair, I can't believe we did that, and we're
supposed to be adults for crying out loud. This game has a lot to
answer for. :-)

Heroes or Fools? That's a determination others will make in hindsight. But by
being here now, we make that determination for ourselves, and it's neither.
