William has no aim or skill with guns, so he's going to take a bunch of knives to stab people with.

[The Lupanian]

I’ll take a G43, and one magazines worth, which should be 10 bullets.

[Ozarck]

alright, who wants what?
Gewehr (Ed will take this one)
Gewehr (Carolina)
Gewehr
30 Gewehr bullets (Ed will take 10, Carolina will take 10)
Sturmgewehr  (Parrish is calling this one)
Sturmgewehr
45 Sturmgewehr bullets (Parrish is calling 1/2 of these)
SMG  (Jackson gets this one)
SMG
SMG
30 SMG bullets (Jackson will get 10 of these at least. More if fewer people ask for the SMGs)

Knives (Parrish is taking one, Taggart is taking some)
Amulet (Ed is taking one)
Amulet (Ed is handing one to Tala)


Pending requests:
Parrish: 1 Smg, 10 Gewher bullets
Jackson: Gewehr, 10 bullets
Denver: SMG, SMG bullets.

Definitely packing one of those SMG's away. Gives me a bit of leeway with ranged engagements.

Also a gewehr with a single clip (So, 10). a +1 isn't much but it's enough I can get away with using it.

hang tight on the rifle, in case someone who hasn't had a chance to ask wants one. I already marked an SMG and bullets for Jackson.

Let PW know you are taking multiple knives. I'd figure three would be reasonable. Ask him if you want more than that.

Just noting that I noticed and am taking one.

If someone else wants to lay claim to it I'll purge it from my character sheet, it's just nice not to be useless at range.

First off: 4 guns rifles and an MG15? Having played Wolfenstein: The New Order, I don't question how you have this many guns (primarily because it means I get to carry around at least 2 and an equivalently heavy amount of explosives) I question primarily where you got an MG15, of all the possible things.

What I meant by using the MG, was that if the GM decided you didn't know how to either use the main cannon or drive the SOB (since you can't do both in any way, not even by holding the gunner/driver hostage) you would'nt be stuck in a tight space with a bunch of germans, their buddies would be stuck outside with you inside an armored vehicle with 2 seperate, fully loaded, sadly stationary machine guns.

Simon found the MG-15 during D-day, and has been carrying it around since.  Never fired, _{^{except for when it shot his teammates}}!

Anyway, this game is RTD.  No matter what you do, you get to roll 1d6 for difficult things, and that means you have ~50% chance of success.  And even a [1] when driving a tank probably doesn't mean the tank becomes immobile, so Simon gets multiple chances.  Just because he's never been inside a tank before and only has a very loose idea of how they operate doesn't mean Simon can't guess his way through!

Also he has equal skill with machine guns and tank driving (zero in both cases), so he has identical chances of failing with either.  If he just wanted to kill Nazis he could rack up a body count with his De Lisle, with far better chances of success due to having +3 scoped and +3 camo.  Skills are weird in 888th.

Just a random question: Can I either replace my cigs in the pack with orange Tic-Tacs (which technically aren't invented yet, but let's just ignore that) or carry a hip flask (padded with rags so it doesn't make noise of course) filled with orange tic-tacs? [this is something I occasionally do IRL].

Radio, go ahead an put a knife in your inventory if you haven't

Try not to identify too much with your character. That's a surefire way to start taking the game too personally and muddling IC and OOC stuff.

If you insist on mints of some kind - altoids, Halls, and life Savers were all a thing back then.

[Redjive_Industries]

nah it's just for the meme value. I know he's gonna die.

[Egan_BW]

I feel that not identifying as your character is a temporary solution at best. You'll end up identifying even if your character is nothing like yourself. In the end, you need to be able to accept character death.

[Redjive_Industries]

fair enough

Yeh. My old ER character wasn't very much like me, and became a brain in a robot suit. Was still super sad when he died. At least he went out well.

[Gentlefish]

Heh. It's why I loved Cecil so much in ER. Him and his fungus-freak limbs. I'm glad he gained immortality in spiderverse.

[syvarris]

Yeah, Simon is specifically supposed to be a subversion of my own normal super-cautious style, but he's grown on me a lot despite practically having a death wish.  Which has made it harder to not be cautious and do blatantly stupid things, like charging a tank with a knife.  Play any character long enough and you're either gonna get bored and give up, or you're gonna start caring about them.

[Ozarck]

I know that feeling. Ed was supposed to be lazy and laid back, preferring to let others lead and not actually affecting anything, as a specific contrast to my usual too-involved playstyle. That's why I chose the "weakest of classes."

I guess I still hav a way to go yet before I can really be a tag-along player. Maybe next game

[Redjive_Industries]

Any chance I can equip my dude with a Mk. 4 Webley revolver? And if so, what'd the Risk be (i'll take 2 speed-reload clips for ammo, total of 18 bullets, 6 in chamber and 2 clips). Webley's got a similar sized bullet to the M1911 and it's a lot more reliable.
