Briefing
This is a recon patrol along the Srepok River. We will fly you out by chopper to an LZ eight clicks east of the river. Hike due west to the river, then follow it northwest, downstream, toward Cambodia.
About 17 clicks down river, on the western bank, lies the village of Mau Do Doi. We suspect the VC have been using this river to infiltrate II Corps, so do what you can to win over the villagers and get them to talk.
You will evac the following morning at 0900 at a second LZ, 10 clicks farther down the Srepok.

  • Enemy Forces: We’re not sure what you’ll find, that’s why you’re going.

  • Support: There is no dedicated support for this mission but you can call the firebase if you need it.

  • Weather: Hot and muggy.

  • Equipment: Take standard gear for 24 hours in the bush. One of the unit must carry a PRC25.

[MENTION=2141]Krug[/MENTION], do you want to try alone at first, or should I help you with the character?

I think I could use some help. Right now, I have a vague sense of the character.

Name: Joseph Rilens

Love comic books, hates being in Vietnam and fighting, will stick close to the squardon, regrets not speaking to his crush at home, reasonably skillful with motors/engines.

I'm in if you have the patience's for a Savage World noob to learn the system and help a little bit. It'll be tomorrow before I get into reading since I have to work in a few short hours and have somethings I need to take care of, but I'm here if you'll have me.

Would you like to get just pre-made characters with some specifics in the backgrounds you provide? Doesn't need to be much. Not going to deeply into characters in a short one-shot (short relatively to a PBP game...)

That sounds pretty good to me. I have been thinking how to build one and it would really come out as a slightly tweaked version of the standard template anyway.
