[OOC] Metal Joe / Black Ops d20 Modern - FULL!

[KitanaVorr]

Speaking of IC games that have actually started, What more needs to be done with this game before we start? (I know I gotta choose and finish off one of my characters, but is there anything else?) If I'm the only one we're waiting on, I'll go do that right now, but otherwise, well... I'm lazy *L*

hurry and make a choice so we can start

 

[Krizzel]

Okay. Let's extrapolate you rule then. A Barrett Light Fifty holds 11 rounds/box at 0.5lb--same ammunition as the M2HB. 99 rounds would be 4.5lb...let's just call that 100 rounds. 500 rounds would then be 22.5lbs. I can live with that!

Just to make it easy, let's go with 100 rounds = 5 pounds. That's for the bullets linked into a belt. You can pull a Roadblock and loop the belt around yourself like a bandoleer, or you can carry in a metal ammo box (box weighs one pound). Each box holds a belt of 100 rounds.

Hooking a new belt of ammo into the M2 is going to be a full round action (ie, reloading). Another character can link a new belt onto the belt already feeding into the weapon as a move round action (you can't do this while you're holding/firing the gun). To do this there still needs to be a few rounds left (ie, can't be empty yet).

As for carrying and firing an M2, yeah it's not realistic but I'm going to allow it because it's prevalent in the source material (ie, Roadblock, Kwinn, etc., not to mention the monstrosity that Vulcan Raven carries around in MGS). Also, only someone with 16+ natural strength can do this. In addition, only the group's designated 'pigman' (drawing on Palladium's RECON here) can do so without penalty. Anyone else takes a -4 to hit on top of any non-proficiency penalty.

Lastly keep in mind I'll replace all these rules with something simpler/more balanced if and when I come up with it.

Okay okay

I'd like to get started too

I'm starting on the nit-picking of your characters. Once I'm good with everything I'll post the IC thread and give you somewhere to start off. Should be up tomorrow sometime.

Oh, and I need to crib some notes for my GI Joe game, too.

Hehe well hurry up! You know Krizzel and I are the first in line for your game!

Absolutely. After finals, I promise.

I'm considering running a second game as well. Not sure what yet though I have some ideas.

1) A homebrew fantasy.
2) Oriental Adventures.
3) Wheel of Time.
4) D20 Modern Supers with 4CtF.
5) A rival Cobra game, like the SW Imp/Rep setup.

Thoughts?

I was thinking of running an Oriental Adventures type game myself, but I don't know if I have time to DM more than one game. Also, ancient Japan is so over done. I want to try to put ya'll in a different part of Asia. Could you do that? Put us elsewhere instead of Japan? If so I'm so into that.

I know when its my turn to run the Metal Joe game, I'm dropping all of you into the heart of Asia and Asian culture.



EDIT:

Also I know alot of you aren't from the US, so if you want to DM and drop us in a part of the world that you're familiar with, that would be totally awesome

1) A homebrew fantasy.

My second game, once I get this going well, is going to be homebrew D&D starting at 1st level. And I mean homebrew as in no races/classes from the PHB, but something entirely new. It will be a balancing headache I'm sure. That said, I should actually check out your link before I comment on the idea

2) Oriental Adventures.

I'd play it

3) Wheel of Time.

Would also play that, though I stopped reading Jordan about 2 or 3 books ago.

4) D20 Modern Supers with 4CtF.

Haven't played supers in a while, so that would be cool. What about M&M? I flipped through it in the store the other day for about 30 seconds. Have read the reviews on that and 4CtF but I don't recall too much on them at the moment. Anyway, I like low level supers the best, starting out struggling to make a good name for yourself, trying to make ends meet while being a hero, and of course discovering new ways to use your powers. Darkhawk, New Warriors, Spiderman is the kind of stuff I go for, though mutants are sometimes fun too

5) A rival Cobra game, like the SW Imp/Rep setup.

Wow...how can I choose between Joes and Cobras? Well...I just have to be in both them

 

[Jemal]

Drop them into my part of the world, eh?
Hmm.. US black ops team in Canada?
ROFLMAO *l*l*l*l*l*l*l*l*l*
hahahahahahahohohohohohohohohehehehehehehe

Oh, that's... Oh... HAHAHA!!!!!
I can just imagine it! I can't wait!!!! *L*

*suddenly composed* Anyways, I think I'll be updating and finishing off my character with a rocket launcher. Oh, and I'll probably be going with Nikki.

Kewl I like Nikki!

BTW I'm sure you have some conspiracy theories in Canada! Come on, no country is without their own "dark past". I'm sure you could come up with some fascinating ones that leave us out there in the wilderness trapped in the snow....

EDIT: Does Nikki have any room for some secondary medi skills?
