Para-military corporations control a large portion of the world's armed forces, creating proxy wars for profit. Cybernetics is an advancing field, and prosthetic limbs are common in both the military and civilian culture.It's 95% 4e mechanics, modded a bit for the prevalence of ranged combat in this sort of setting. This campaign is pretty episodic, meaning the schedule is very flexible: if you're not available when most of the group is on, that's quite okay: I encourage players to set up a timeslot with me for mini "episodes" with anywhere from one to a couple players any time in the week, and we'll have a good time. This favors schedule flexibility and helps keep the narrative tight and exciting.I aim to make this campaign even parts roleplaying and combat/skill challenges, with an emphasis on dynamic combat and meaningful roleplaying: expect to encounter tactical situations (flanking, hacking, sniping, explosives disposal, hostage situations, chase scenes, etc.) where your choices will matter, and expect dramatic moments. I also value player creativity: there's a lot of room to improvise, or customize your character gameplay and roleplay-wise. Finally, you won't be railroaded to a particular story track in this game: the episodic nature of this means there will be many possibilities (after all, that's the strength of this type of gaming!).<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Requirements</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I use Ventrilo for voice chat (exceptions might be made if it's a single player episode). A working mic is recommended, but not required.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Must be willing to use Maptools (Great program, free and cross-platform, I'm happy to show you how to use it)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Intimate knowledge of 4e (or even D&D) is not required: if you like the sound of this campaign, let's talk <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Age requirement is 16+ (though I'll gladly make exceptions for mature players), and you must be mature. If you want to play a dual katana-wielding cyborg ninja who blocks bullets and "pwns" foes, this isn't the campaign for you.</li> </ul>Let me know if you're interested, I'm really looking forward to running this!</blockquote>
