    Battletech/Mechwarrior PbP: "Days of the Jackal" [closed]

    Well, perhaps "Mr. Unknown" referred to 'Warriors' in a more general, perhaps even bushido-like sense. ;) Though his use of "FLUM" probably precludes any inner connection to such nonsense. :p Folkert

    1. Yes. But it is generally not enforced. (Of course this depends a bit on where you plan to go.) The (international) Solaris Police Department has next to none jurisdiction in the House sectors. The House sectors police' interprets the law based on your affiliation. And while carrying weapons...

    Drakknyte, the character looks good. :) One recommendation, though: Perhaps you should exchange one your level 1 skills for Unarmed Combat 1 or Blade 1 to have something to rely on, once it gets "up close and personal". Could you please change "3 Extra Edges" to "Extra Edge (2)"? (Every PC...

    Drakknyte32, your lifepath events: "12" There wasn’t really much to do for a young man of your age back home. So you went hunting whenever you could sneak off the farm. Career/Farmer 2, Drive 2, Perception 1, Scrounge 1, Sneak 1, SI/Agriculture 1; Increase Small Arms to level 2 "18"...

    Just a clarification: The third post is nothing more but an explanation why one would even consider visiting the Dark Knights compound (standard simulator runs are rather pricey and heavily overbooked + they claim they can simulate everymech in existence), clothed in the thoughts of John Doe...

    Shalimar, basically everyone can start doing things now. If nobody wants to do anything special, we will proceed to stage 2. (Which takes place after all the wannabes, cheaters, outright liars and incompetent losers have been filtered out. :D ) Folkert

    Battletech/Mechwarrior PbP: "Days of the Jackal" [closed]

    Guess, you haven't heard? ;) A massive outbreak of the virulent Kentares fever occured on Galatea. Seriously, I have debated using either Galatea or Solaris as a starting point. Unfortunately, Galatea doesn't offer much opportunites for anything but "go there, get recruited". In addition to...

    I guess this is all up to the BT line developer. The setting used to be advanced via the novels, with extra support in the form of sourcebooks bringing in more details, different views, etc. I think that recently the outcome of a big convention battle found its way directly into the canon...

    The "Days of the Jackal" have begun! Some explanations: Solaris City: Capital of Solaris the Gameworld. It is divided into 6 main parts, the international part (home to the spaceport and the comstar station), Black Hills (Davion), Cathay (Liao), Kobe (Kurita), Montenegro (Marik) and Silesia...

    Moderator/Admin needed in the Living EN World forum no more! Thanks!

    Could some kind soul please delete my (aptly named) thread "Please delete - wrong section!" in the Living EN World forum? [Edit: Direct link http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=83432] I mistakenly posted it in there instead of the general "playing the game". Thanks! Folkert

    Mechwarrior: "Days of the Jackal"

    Yeah, right. As if I would be desparate enough to join a cooperative ... "Every mech available!" ? It's been some time since I last took the tin can out for a little romp. Guess a bit of simulator practise couldn't hurt right now. Gotta keep in shape! But joining? Nah!

    Solaris City, 10th of July 3028 (To be distributed in Black Hills, Cathay, Kobe, Montenegro and Silesia) The DARK KNIGHTS cooperative (famous for their recent victories against Blackstar, the Silver Dragons and Starlight) is proud to announce an open recruitment drive for able newcomers in...

    Enter Passcode: ************* Start Transmission? yes . . . My dear Konrad, you can’t be serious with your report! If I remember correctly, I sent you there to recruit warriors. Warriors, Konrad! "Warriors" doesn't even begin with an M like ... Misfits. Let me name a few examples...

    Doghead, most of them are part of the 'Chaos March', called this because they are remnants of the Federated Commonwealth's 'Sarna March'. Originally part of the Capellan Confederation, they had been taken in the Fourth War. 3057 Sun-Tzu Liao, enlightened Ruler on the Celestial Throne, attacked...

    Drakknyte, the Marauder 3D is perfectly allright! (Only its 'big brother' is a special case.) But I'm going to have to tinker a bit with your background, as the 3D was only built post-Fall of the Star League: Perhaps you found a battle-damaged remains of a Davion outpost on your planet, out...

    But of course not every of the engraved planets was a real target. Hanse is not called "the Fox" for nothing. :) Preliminary start report: Solaris the Gameworld, July 3028. Any problems with that? Folkert
