Hypnobeard posted:Oh, Pinhead: do you want us to put in requests for whatever guns we'd like to be issued? Or are you just going to give us Requests will definitely be taken within reason in the context of US army weapons. Don't feel restricted to what's in the vanilla rulebook, I have the small arms guide and I can definitely stat in anything you'd want. If you want a good idea if you'll get the weapon look at the availability stat. quote:(availability in the West/availability in the East); So a weapon with a (S/R) stat would be scarce in the West and rare in the East. You're likely going to be approved for any weapon that isn't rare in the West.

Oops. I added an extra 0. I was thinking the Degal was a .45 gun and was just adding flavor. I'll just stick with the much cheaper .45 (which I assume is more normal and thus would be supplied, but even if not is more affordable) It doesn't look like the Deagel has better stats anyway, with only longer range. I was thinking it'd be fun to have a cannon like Dirty Harry's gun (which is guess is a S&W .44 revolver)/the striker from hitman Foolster41 fucked around with this message at 06:43 on May 19, 2019 |

So sorry, thought I got you earlier. Your character is great and a welcome addition to any NATO force. It's the first Maori character I've ever seen in a tactical combat RPG so that's always cool! And a longbow user to boot. This is probably the coolest, most well rounded group I've ever ran this game for. Warthur posted:Haven't done equipment purchases yet - will think about that (especially considering that weapons and ammo are going to be provided). You're looking good too, Warthur. A multi-lingual character is always essential to a good Twilight game, and I don't want to spoil anything but you picked well.

My rolls are here. Somehow I didn't roll up an officer! I was originally going to go for combat medic then checked the thread and saw that was pretty well covered so I made a, uh, grunt/driver/pilot I guess. Sgt. Erik Leonard  Erik's father was a minor celebrity in West Texas, a veterinarian who flew to remote farms and ranches, who also did a radio show, and briefly a weather report on regional TV news. Erik learned to fly at his father's knee, but only wanted to be a meteorologist (or medevac pilot), before the Twilight War derailed everyone's lives. He joined up intending to become a pilot, but his application was denied and he went to the infantry instead. In Poland he caught the eye of a colonel who needed a driver, and he spent his time in the war driving into and out of thorny situations. pre:Nationality: American Languages: English

I like the H&K CAW mostly because you can dump the entire mag in one round. I honestly can't remember if that's actually a good tactical choice, but it can't hurt. Remember the shotguns can't fire past close/medium, so you might want to get something with a bit more reach in addition to the CAW.

"Fighting racists and imperialists in the South? This is just like the Osterns!" Jannik "Robotron" Stier comes from a family of Rare Saxonian Catholics. His father readily accepted the compatibility of Church and Marxist thought preached in the first years of the republic - and always grumbled about the state's shift to scientific atheism. Having this unique outlook while growing up, Jannik wasn't entirely fond of the regime, seeing it as one that's doing communism wrong. Therefore, it was quite easy for him to join one of the underground counterculture youth gangs forming at the time. His Catholicism might not have been rebellious enough, but the technical skills that rubbed off on him from his Robotron-employed father were appreciated when it came to fixing underground radios and mopeds. Jannik was still quite young when the Twilight War broke out. With the Robotron electronics factory suffering in the war, his father stayed home, teaching his young son his technical skills. "The war will end soon," he said. "Once its over, Germany will need its engineers to build the future for the people." Thus young Jannik learned a lot about what it meant to work with the computers and even played a few type-in games. The brush with computing as well as E-German bishops' ideas of opening talks with the foreigners helped his English skills immensely. Eventually, Jannik was drafted into the NVA. Smart and showing great stamina, he was less than suited for frontline duty. However, his Free German Youth evaluation singled out his technical skills. In Dresden, it was the 7. Panzerdivision that greatly needed his skills. Starting out as a mechanic at Mot.-Schützenregiment 7 "Max Rosche," the vagaries of war made him bounce around the division, including stints at the Battalion Chemische Abwehr 7 "Johann Eggert." Jannik's skills from the days of youth gangs made him very resourceful when it came to sourcing parts for his comrades, and his knack for technology earned him the name of "Robotron." With the total collapse of any sense of order on the Western front, Jannik found himself working with NATO forces, patching up M113s and other vehicles and even helping out to bring radios and such online. This lead him to find a spot on the boat to the US, sleeping among his collection of tools of the trade. There were two-fold benefits to going to the old continent: if there was any country that had the technical knowhow to implement a Project Cybersyn-type thing in Germany, it was America... and he felt obligated to stop Nazis or any similar vermin from rising up again.

Another great and unique character, and the HK CAW is totally alright. It's a common weapon in the West for some reason, I'm going to say that in this timeline the US placed a huge order for them when Russia went to war with China. It's not even that expensive at 800 dollars. Besides, the real challenge with that weapon will be the range and not blowing through all your ammunition lol. JcDent posted:German-in-Progress Looking good so far, if you still want to be a grenadier it wouldn't have been weird at all for a mechanic to be given a rifle with a grenade launcher and told that was part of the job description now.

Some info to help your decision, An M16a2 with launcher is 4.4kg, loaded mags are .5kg, and 40mm grenades are .3kg each. It'd weigh around 10kg with 5 grenades and 8 magazines. The only punishment for going over your carry weight is halved marching distance and increased fatigue, as far as I can remember. And that's not necessarily a problem because you won't be carrying all your gear with you all the time, you'll often have a camp or a vehicle to load stuff onto. If you don't feel like schlepping around with all that weight then you could go the other direction and pick a lightweight option, like an MP5 at 3kg or a Vz61 Skorpion at 2kg

Did a little tweaking to the character - dialled back body combat and lockpick to boost throwing poo poo and wheeled vehicle driving - and bought equipment. What skill is used to ride a bicycle? The only reference in the rules to any fancy tricks is going faster than usual, which is a straight agility roll rather than a skill roll.

Yeah, when an attribute is used in the place of a skill multiply the attribute by 5. So with your agility of 6 you'd need to roll under 30 for an average task, 60 for an easy one, etc

Alright, just about finished. Went to the Army instead of jail, and it turns out a lot of the skills that are real lovely in civilian life are way more useful in WWIII. Did I miss buying food and fuel, or does the game leave that out of starting equipment? If not, I'll just use the leftover money on more knives and grenades, as well as a still after vehicle picks. Maybe some spears for hunting. Rockopolis fucked around with this message at 03:52 on May 22, 2019 |

Okay I bought inventory. With regrets I gave up shotgun bros to take a G3 battle rifle. It seems good to shoot bullets that do damage. I'm not sure if we were supposed to be buying for ourselves or for the whole group (so tents and food and cases of ammo vehicles etc.). Also I put our characters' stats and skills in a spreadsheet bc I'm a sad nerd. Kind of interesting to see who your skill buddies are About half of us got the load formula wrong, it should be (2*STR+CON) acc to the worksheet and the errata. Also, Spec. Smith had STR 20; should be 10.</snitch>

That's up to you, the army will provide decent weapons and necessary equipment at the start. JcDent posted:Can I spend some money on antibiotics and stuff? This is one of the things they can't provide, so yeah that would be cool Sax Solo posted:I'm not sure if we were supposed to be buying for ourselves or for the whole group (so tents and food and cases of ammo vehicles etc.). First of all, I'm floored by the spreadsheet. That's insanely awesome and great GM motivation. You know your players really want to play when they start making spreadsheets. This is going to be crazy useful. Secondly enough food, fuel, and ammo will be provided to last you a week or so. Vehicles will be taken care of as well. The gear provided will be enough to establish a camp, but not many niceties like electronic equipment, medicine, or heavy ordnance.

I'm glad I've dumped a bunch of coin on medicines then. I'll have another look and see what I can free up for buying a bow of some description. Edit: lol already got a bow nvm Spiteski fucked around with this message at 09:05 on May 22, 2019 |

I'm not sure if we were supposed to be buying for ourselves or for the whole group (so tents and food and cases of ammo vehicles etc.). This is cool! Should it be read as (2*Str)+Con or 2*(Str+Con)? Because the first would be 24 for me, and the second 28. Unless i'm missing something the book says the normal load is Str+Con+Sta, and the burdened load is twice that. Isn't STR = FIT+STA? Or did I misunderstand the instructions? quote:Together with stature, it is used to determine his actual strength

JcDent posted:Flashlights and handheld radios? Yes to both of these, everyone can be given a flashlight and a limited, but special set of radios. You'll receive as a group one 50km secure vehicle radio, two 25km secure vehicle/pack radios, and five 5km handheld radios. Not enough for everyone, but still a lot more than most these days. Whoops, you're close but it's FIT plus STA divided by 2, so 10 is correct. It's a little late for us now but there's a character generation worksheet on page 66 of the pdf that helps with all the little details. With that we're done as far as I can tell, or are drat close to it. So I'll be posting the thread tomorrow and we can rock and roll.
