Soldiers of Fortune OOC (all slots reserved)
« on: July 17, 2015, 10:55:44 am »



IC THREAD HERE:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=152088.msg6385988#msg6385988

You are a new recruit of the Soldiers of Fortune Initiative, a somewhat shadowy mercenary organization specializing in the sort of jobs that are too messy for a regular army to carry out. You are assigned missions to various locations, given an objective, and from there, it's up to you how you complete it. If (and hopefully when) someone shows interest, I'll explain how character creation works, since it's a bit more complex than your standard forum game. It's an RTD with some tactical elements, and (relatively) realistic gunplay, along with a weight mechanic that should make things interesting.

SOF Liaison: Dampe
Slot 1: Playergamer
Slot 2: Twinwolf
Slot 3: Caellath
Slot 4: Egan_BW

Here's the format for character creation.

And here is the list of skills. You have 500 skill points to use as you see fit (my advice would be to specialize, specialize, specialize). You can level each skill up to 99, and all skills are defaulted to 1, so you only need to list the skills you've put points into. (So, to level a basic skill to maximum costs 98 points, and so on.)

I can't see the logo, but do tell more. I might have time to juggle this since it's PbP.

Huh, could be cool. I'm considering running a similar game myself.

Right now, all you have is the logo, though. :P There's not much to 'sign up' for, tho you have my interest.

...You should probably put 0/4. Most threads on this forum seem to use "How many people we have/Max people", so yours looks like the game is full already  :P.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

Well, I'll go more into detail about the first mission once I do a briefing in the yet-to-be-created in-character thread (What's the abbreviation for that? IC? I'm a bit of an FG&RP newb still.) but I will say that it involves toppling a South American dictator and stealing a fighter jet.

Format for character sheets will be posted soon.

IC=In character
OOC=Out of Character

Generally, IC is the game thread, OOC is where you sign up/talk about the game as players/do OOC nonsense.

What I meant by information is stuff like the system, character sheets, etc. You know, things you need to know to join. Unless this is entirely freeform.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Don't worry, it isn't freeform. I'll clean up the character sheets and add a little walkthrough for it as well.
System is mainly based on D100 rolls that reflect your character's relevant skill. If you try to fire an automatic rifle without decent skills in that category, you may find it jamming on you.
