You know what goes here.

more to come.

character details are open. they will stay open so you can update your characters. there isn't a formal character sheet yet. there may not be. so for now feel free to fill in the space in a manner that works for you.

*waves at everyone*
Hello! I have no clue what I'll play. I'm going to leave it all in the hands of thr Lifepath.

I was wondering if we were doing free for all origins or doing only 5th Inf. I'm good either way :)

civie origins are welcome as well. basically, if it can be had on life path you are welcome to build it. there are any number of ways to ties the PCs together, and since it is a new game for us all to learn we might as well explore it all the right way.

Hi there. All I've decided so far is that my character will be a British soldier who's ended up in an American unit.

Looking forward to gaming with you all.

i will try to post small sections about rules this week, some basics to start with like skills, combat, using coolness under fire stat, healing, etc. we all know that games do not translate from the table top to RPOL perfectly so we will do what we have to at times in order for the game to function well.

thanks.

oh, and XP accumulate by game session, we should do it weekly at the least, so somebody remind on fridays to give out XP. likewise the coolness under fire (CUF) stat increases based on exposure to combat each session so we should check that often too. at least after every combat scene, so remind me for that also.

Hello, I'll be your resident Canadian for the game. I'm aiming to make a Mechanic/Tank Driver character, but I'll see where the dice take me on this.

Sean will be our American, likely affiliated with the US 5th Infantry Division.

Beyond that, it's all up to the dice.

Hi Guys. Just to let you know I am hoping to join the fun. Thomas Carter is another Brit. Thats about it so far.

i know some of you are already helping the others who need it. i am grateful. really. too few games have players come together so well on RPOL. it's damned awesome of you guys.

a few characters have changed in recent hours, that is fine. names were changed in two cases as well. that, too, is fine. be content with your characters. what fun is it to be the evil, maniacal, devious, blood thirsty, and cruel GM with PCs no one is attached to.

(muahhahahahhahhahah....cough, never could do the mike meyers thing)

Am Russian. Hope is okay. Ignore tattoos please.

looked over Fedor's sheet, he reminds me of Amos (the Expanse).

Has anyone created a character sheet yet for this version of T2k?

It's not much to look at, but it's honest work.

In reply to Cecylia Wojcik (msg # 17):

That's great. I had started creating my own and yours is much better.

The only thing I will add to mine is something to track Ammo in more detail as I've found it useful in other T2k games. I'm just adding the following to the bottom:

Primary Weapon: XXXX (X.XXmm)
MAG1 - XX/XX Rounds (Loaded)
MAG2 - XX/XX Rounds (Pouch)
MAG3 - XX/XX Rounds (Pocket)


Secondary Weapon: XXXX (X.XXmm)
MAG1 - XX/XX Rounds (Loaded)
MAG2 - XX/XX Rounds (Pouch)
MAG3 - XX/XX Rounds (Pocket)


Tertiary Weapon: XXXX (X.XXmm)
MAG1 - XX/XX Rounds (Loaded)
MAG2 - XX/XX Rounds (Pouch)
MAG3 - XX/XX Rounds (Pocket)

In reply to Cecylia Wojcik (msg # 17):

One minor thing I've spotted - it should be Close Combat rather than Melee.

Thank you for the character sheet template, that'll make life so much easier! Getting started on mine now, work permitting it shouldn't take me long :)

In reply to Thomas Carter (msg # 10):

Have you decided on Thomas' military experience so far? Mike has ended up in the British Infantry for about 10 years so maybe they've known each other for a while? What do you think?

You're right. I think that might be a left over from when I tested the Alpha Rules :)

most likely. we have been playing at the table lately and it has been a bast using the rules. i am fond of the stress, CUF, and combat mechanics.

I do really enjoy the CUF and stress rules; when things go badly, for any side, things REALLY go downhill fast. Most of our combats end with one of the two sides just bailing out instead of fighting things out.

close in fights can be really brutal, once the CUF rolls start going against combatants in close range fights the other side tends to roll over them in short order.

Definitely. Since we wanted to try out a lot of the rules for the Alpha and Beta tests, we did Artillery (from mortars to howitzers), IFV and Tanks. Holy shit. When shells start to fall things get REAL intense.

THE IFV are beasts, but when you start to travel with them, they eat SO much gas.

I'll probably start a campaign proper with my home group; we're thinking of doing an M1A1 tank group, where every PC is basically one of the crew and they'll just be "post apo road tripping" through Poland in their tank.

It'll be like "The Man With No Name" but it's a Tank instead of Clint Eastwood :)
