What really sucked was it was something simple, we were running sprints, and on my last shuttle run, I went to turn, and felt a "pop", and my leg started burning. I ended up tearing a muscle, spraining a tendon, and had fluid on my knee. I was on crutches for almost two months, and had 8 w...

I'll see about fleshing the companies out next week, as well as looking into adding some more detailed history on their various employees.

Dominique

Just bumping this up, as I'll be making some additions after the holidays.

Dominique

just out of curiosity, what type of info would you guys be interested in seeing? More detailed write-ups of the various companies, background info onthe characters, plot seeds, etc... As far as the characters go, they'd all have military or law enforcement backgrounds, or a combination of the two. S...

Sorry for the long delay, I was jumping from FOB to FOB, and then flew back to the US. I'm waiting to see if I'll be assigned to a WTU, as I blew out my knee, on a PT run (I'm still pissed). Once I get to my final destination, I'll have the time to sit down and start working my way threw my old notes.

What info are you looking for?

Dominique

I plan on fleshing this out a bit more, but my computer seems to have crapped out on me, and I'm stuck in Iraq, at the moment, so it's going to be a while before I really get a chance to work on this.

Dominique

So, did any of you guys read over this stuff? Is it useful? Would you use it?

No rush, get to it when you can. I've been slacking on posting the past few months anyway.

For those of you playing in modern settings, do you use real world locales, or do you create your own? And for those of you using real world locations, who are the player's adversaries? Terror organizations and extremist groups, drug cartels, foreign militaries, pirates, paramilitary groups, warlords?

Contractors can use modified versions of one of the Mercenary classes. I'd also suggest adding skills for things like light wheeled vehicles (with a specialization in a particular vehicle type, like HMMWV, RSOV, FAV, etc.), MRAP, etc. And IIRC, I posted an updated skills list in one of these thread...

Dominique

As usual, I like these skills...the only issue is whether it becomes overspecialized like for sling-loading...this could be included in a skill like Air Assault which could cover rappelling, fast roping and sling loading as well as basic HLZ procedures....and maybe even helocasting if you are lucky...

After I get back from this deployment, I may (and I repeat may), sit down and see if I can crank out some homebrew rules for a modern setting, or at least some sort of template for modern day recon, pathfinder, SOF, intel/paramilitary, and contractors.
