Update to Game Links. Added Col Roger Nolan's Wikipedia page. Let me know what you think about using real world characters in game. Col. Nolan was a war hero from the Vietnam War. He was retired in 1988, but in our timeline, they brought him back aboard to command the 19th Spec Ops Group and their operations here in the States in 1998. He has a reputation for putting his men first, and as a top Commie fighter.

It's one of those things that is a line to walk down. You have to make a point to keep very much in tone of the character/person. If you get it wrong, you can mess it up for someone else that knows the individual in question. You also have to watch that you don't overdo the name dropping. I'm in a Star Wars RPG (Don't judge me!) that I swear has turned into a contest for the GM to work in as many named main characters as possible.

Mostly if it's done really well it can add to the game. If it is done wrong, it can screw it up. Personally I don't know him enough to tell if you've nailed the character or playing against it so you're safe with me.

Basically, I do not know him. If any of you all know him, let me know what you think. He is sort of going to be a minor regular in the story. Just wanted to add a little more to the realism. I wanted to pick a leader who had a reputation for being a hero and bad ass, and he certainly fits the bill.

I don't know him either, just tossing my One Cent in there (after taxes).

If you can change my pic, I have one for you. I just used one of the generic RPOL pics.
