Hi all I thought I would let you know that I am playing a British SAS lt Colonel.

Hi all. Just a reminder to send me your character concept or finished character asap so we can start actually playing. So far I've only got two characters actually done and one concept that I'll get on to within the next 24 hours.

I'd like at least another 2 players ready to go before we start - makes it easier to work into the storyline.

Can all those that have characters made up please post a short history and description in the Cast section. Include skills and as much other info as you can. Ideally post your whole sheet.

We've got three done so far. Anybody who wants to start, go to the Prison thread.

You get to choose one occupation for every 4 years starting at age 17. For each "term" you get between 3 and 5 skill points + 1 or 2 secondary activity points depending on what career has been chosen. At the end of each term a d10 is rolled to determine the start of the war. If the roll is equal or less than the number of terms, then you get one more term during wartime, in which (if not already a member of the military or some occupations such as politician or government agent) you are drafted and receive double the skill points but no secondary activity.

As a player, your character can have almost any sort of background. They could be Army, Navy, Airforce or Marine. They could be a University professor, an entertainer, a mechanic, a criminal, a paramedic, a member of the idle rich, a doctor, journalist, student, or Attorney. It's really up to your choices and the luck of the dice.

If you have 2nd ed. make up a character but roll using the online roller. Otherwise, give me some idea of the career path you'd like to take and I'll see what I can do. I also need you to go to the dice roller and roll your stats: 2d6-2 for Strength, Constitution, Agility, Education, Charisma and Intelligence. If the total is les than 30, add the different whereever you see fit. The other option is to take 32 points and distribute where you want with a minimum of 1 and maximum of 10 in each. Take your pick, once you roll, you can't go back.

(Just to irritate you Andrew) Any new people not farmiliar with character generation who wished to make there own character, could generate one with the the computer game twilight 2000 which can be downloaded at www.the-underdogs.org It doesn't have all of the trades but is comprehensive enough to do a decent job.

You're such a good little boy Dave. (pats him on the head) I was thinking about spreading that piece of info but I'm not all that happy with the way it works - good, but not quite up to what I'd want to use.
However, anybody who want to use it just send the save file with the character to andrewjkeena@optusnet.com.au and I'll have a look.

The character of Camilla is yet again looking for a player.

I hate it when players leave games but...

I regret to say that the Character of WO2 Andy is up for grabs in addition to Camilla Ashton.

And Alfred, hurry up and post (or anybody else how wants to make a decision!)

Yet again Andy and Camilla are up for grabs. The player has had to withdraw from this game and others due to personal real life tragedy. He may be back but don't hold your breath....
Also, it looks like we've lost the player of Sergeant Michael Gallin. He hasn't logged in for over two weeks now.
If anybody knows of somebody willing to take one of these characters on, please let me know. I'm also open to players haveing two characters once the groups have merged or gone their seperate ways. I hate killing off PC's unnecessarily.

Camilla and Tanya still without players. Anybody wishing for a second character may take over one of these.

Now that Tanya finally has a player again, we only have Camilla floating about unclaimed. Anybody interested?

I hate it when I have to post in this thread. As some of you may have noticed several players have disappeared. Alfred, Tanya, Kett and Andy are the culprits and will shortly become available to be taken over by either other players or newcomers.
Camilla is (as usual!) still available.
Although Dimitar hasn't been on for a while, he at least sent a message stating his reasons (moving internationally, etc) and will be back eventually.

And again I post here!
Camilla actually had a player for all of a few days but they had to pull out due to r/l commitments and something about a hurricane.....
Tanya is available as well as Kett.
And there is still no news on the status of Dimitar so I'll be continuing playing them for the forseeable future.

So, anyone in need (or just plain desiring) a second character can choose Cam, Tanya or Kett.

Normally I would, but Friday October first I am going in for Major Surgery and will be hospitalized for a while. I hope to be back home and on the computer at least a little a week after. so if you feel the need to NPC Gallin, please feel free to do so. I'll have to wait and see how it goes after that as far as keeping playing, but for now I see no forseeable problems.

I'm having enough trouble with Sergio! lol!

I'm also only around for another 2-3 weeks, when I will hopefully be leaving on my "world" trip. (Which is looking more like a 3 country trip!)

Just to remind you, Sergio's up next.

It's that time again where I offer up second characters etc.
Been a few minor changes with a new player for Kett. Sergio is off till about mid next year on a stroll around South America (I think) and so has offered up his character for reassignment. I'm sure he'll be back when he can and from my viewpoint, he'll be welcome.
Alfred actually had a player for all of a few short minutes it seems. They RTJ'd etc and I assigned the character and then they dissappeared! Typical!
So, that all means that we now have Alfred, Tanya, Camilla and Sergio up for grabs.
Bump

No existing characters are presently available (for once!)

unless they want ME!!!

(sounds like the games up and running once more!)

(c;

And so that brings me to this thread once more.
At the moment we have Dettinger and now Kett up for grabs.

And we now add Brown and Winters to Dettinger and Kett.

they were stayers.

<Aaron springs to life> Whoa! I feel a hand in my bu...oh! I have a player now, amazing. Phew!

Andy's player has withdrawn from the game so now (after a few others have been reassigned, etc) we really only had Dettinger and Andy available. I am using Kett as my own personal plot device so unless somebody comes alone absolutely desperate to play a Canadian Infantry Sgt Major with a woeful initiative (he has 2) he'll stay an NPC.

Looks as though we've lost Brown (again!). Dave and Smythe have both withdrawn but I hope only temporarily. Dave due mainly to a rather dramatic move and life "reorganisation" while Smythe because of a new baby boy.

  I am here.  *pats pockets and with a satisfied grunt pulls out a semi-crumpled pack of cigarettes and lights one with a battered zippo*  What d'ya want?
