"Out of the way from that bomb; I got this."

Set that bomb to go off as close to over as possible based on "two minutes out".  Don't let the rookie touch it.

Spoiler: Jack Worter (click to show/hide)

Name: Jack Worter
Description:  Jack was transferred to the 888th after one of his explosives went off a bit too close to him, and he's been a bit funny in the head ever since.  The scars line up on his face when he starts grinning at explosions.  Likes nothing better to see things explode.

Spoiler: Joe Nix (click to show/hide)

Name: Joe Nix
Description: A tall, almost ape-like man with a completely shaved head, Nix has always been something of an oddball. Always cheerful when with company he finds pleasant, when its time to get serious, it's as if a monster enters his visage, and he develops a rather disturbing tunnel vision when it comes to finishing the mission.

((Also, Tiruin, how much ammo was for the M1 Garand you gave me?))

((Was unused as far as I recalled Joakim--and if it was used, while I do believe we can't replenish old stores that aren't in our class/universal equipment, it would be silly to not reload a used weapon taken from the battlefield right? Just count it as a full load so piece doesn't bother with the tiny stress [you can count your ammo like I did mine :3]))

((In Grunts dieing is a minor setback, possibly even interesting. It sounds like you lose all character progress if you die here, which is just annoying.))

((Let's ask piece here then))

piecewise: Do 'new' characters get as many skill/stat ups (+) like old characters or are they considered fresh and new--only using the basic stats in the OP?

I know I'm late but could I join this mission? If I can then jump right after Simon.

Heeeey :I
You take as many days as you need to ensure your health! D:< I'll take care of your character and sheet in the meantime, but if you can, PM a theme of what you'd like done.

Also with every major action, it's nice to post your sheet too.

Bob puts on his parachute if it wasn't on already. ((I was under the impression that piecewise already said that we put on parachutes, but I wanted to make sure that Bob wasn't left without his due to the influx of people actively mentioning putting on parachutes))

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Robert McKinley
Description: McKinley was about ten years old when WWI ended, and his brother returned with innumerable stories of gore and glory. Robert desired to fight for his country in the same way. There was, however, no immediate war in which he could partake. He considered himself to be one of the few to hate the Roaring Twenties. They were a time when the people wallowed in extravagance and purposely forgot the horrors, but also the sacrifices and heroism of the great war. And then came the depression. He found himself liking the depression, though of course, he didn't admit that. Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

((If someone dies do they lose their skill points and extra requisitions?))

Don't worry, your corpse will keep all their skills and extra stuff. And as soon as we figure out necromancy, they'll be able to use them!

((We rolled to survive takeoff? Yipe))

Not sure you're familiar with ER, but in my previous paramilitary game people would sometimes die before they even landed in the mission area.

Hopefully you toned it down here? I'm enjoying it already, with the subtle cues and nice touches of flavor.

Also tiny question: If ever Alice gets a...bad roll while flying, does that mean the end of the mission or it depends on the context of when that roll happened? Because given the tech/time differences between ER and now, I don't think anyone will survive at the worst of encounters [like getting hit]

Well, if he had rolled a 1 the plane would have lost an engine or something but wouldn't have just exploded. It would just mean something bad happened. Might end in death, but not instantly or unavoidably.

((Also, Tiruin, how much ammo was for the M1 Garand you gave me?))

((Was unused as far as I recalled Joakim--and if it was used, while I do believe we can't replenish old stores that aren't in our class/universal equipment, it would be silly to not reload a used weapon taken from the battlefield right?

piecewise: Do 'new' characters get as many skill/stat ups (+) like old characters or are they considered fresh and new--only using the basic stats in the OP?

Hmm...Let me think about it. In ER you just had to restart, because it made death mean more. But I'll think about a happy medium if its is what people want.

[Egan_BW]

No, death is death, you shouldn't keep anything.

[piecewise]

I gave it a think. Here's what I came up with after looking at Grunts and a few other things.


1. We introduce GLORY as our universal experience system. GLORY (not glory, GLORY) is given for any positive action, such as completing goals, killing enemies, saving comrades, etc. Sometimes GLORY is given to individuals (such as for killing enemies) sometimes it is given to everyone on a mission (For completing mission goals). The amount you get varies depending on the magnitude of what you do.

2. GLORY is used to buy various things and is the way we'll handle advancement rather than just basing it on surviving a mission. It will mean rewarding merit, both individual and of the group so long as they complete their objectives.

3. Here's the crap you can buy with GLORY:

• Training: This allows you to increase your skills by +1 each time. It costs more each time you do it. 
• Promotions: these are upgrades that give you active abilities to use in the game.
• Requisitions: Let you get permanent items that "refill" after every mission. Requisitioning an item is like buying it with GLORY, the more valuable it is, the more GLORY you need.
• Medals: Medals can be both bought with glory and handed out for particularly meritorious actions. They provide minor, passive bonuses.

4. Spent GLORY is gone and if you die you lose what you bought with it. HOWEVER, you can chose to Bank GLORY instead of spend it. This banked GLORY will carry over between characters. Think of it as life insurance; an investment towards future actions at the cost of immediate advancement.


Opinions? If this is accepted I'll probably rebalance some of the starting classes. Since things like the commander's flare will be more of a promotion power than anything.

[PaPaj]

im up for that
