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

Fine with me. Just note that the same Arashikage's do not necessarily exist. You do get the neat tattoo though

Oh, and I wasn't serious about Solid Snake Eyes...I think it's a little too silly for this also!

Cool! I realize whether Stormshadow and/or Snake-Eyes ever show up is up to you, but it leaves the door open. And what character isn't more interesting with ties to a shadowy ninja clan?

But I really just wanted the tattoo.

Thanks!! ThaT'll help a bunch!

Oh

I should point out that there are two main Chinese languages, Mandarin and Cantonese, so perhaps you should specify which one it is you know since they both are very very different. And it will make a big difference if we end up messing with the Chinese groups.

I don't have the book with me at work, so I'm not sure how they handle stuff like when languages are concerned.

Good point!! I'd forgotten about that. I'll take Mandarin for $500, Alex.

If there is anything in there our DM has a problem with, please let me know.

A few questions:

1. What about Thermal Vision?

2. The PDA Gauntlet. This is something I have been hearing about as a possability of the future of PDAs. Basicly it is a PDA built into a kind of armored glove that extends up the forearm. This cool?

3. Fiber Optic Peeper. One of these was used in the movie "The Rock" and a few others. It is basicly a fiber optic cable that you can run under door or grates and see what is on the other side. it's kind of like a small, bendable, perescope. This cool?

4. 40 mm undermounted grenade launcher. I've got this mounted on my MP5. While you don't normally see these, it is possible in real life. Cool?

5. Garrote Wire. there are stats for this in Song and Silence. i can post them if you need me to.

6. Suppressor on the MP5. It says in the book that the suppressor isn't very effective on longarms. However, this particular weapon, in real life, when suppressed, is the quietest gun that there is. The sound of the action is actually louder than the bullet. Will this be in the game, or will we be sticking 100% to the book?

1. Same thing as Night Vision Goggles in infrared mode as far as I'm concerned at the moment. I will probably add Thermal Goggles eventually but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. I don't want to add too much at once.

2. PDA gauntlet is cool. It'll be a little less functional than a regular PDA since it needs to be built with military sturdiness. But I think GPS, maps, a few text files, and possibly email (when you hook it up to a suitable communication device...often it needs to be something much more than a cell phone).

3. They stat this up in the d20 Modern Web Enhancement that Jemal linked somewhere above.

4. I like the undermounted launchers on the M-16s, so if you can find me a web site or something with it I'm inclined to go along. I will take a look at my weapons book (too bad its not d20) and try to see if it looks feasible to me.

5. I will take a look. I think the hard part about the garrote is sneaking up on the target.

6. I want to go with the book for right now, simply because I don't want to introduce house rules too fast. However I will take a look at it. I've played some missions in Operation Flashpoint with the MP5, and I know what you're talking about.

I don't have the book with me at work, so I'm not sure how they handle stuff like when languages are concerned.

There's a great little list on page 73 that breaks things down by language group and then specific languages.

For example:

Chinese: Cantonese, Mandarin

You stand a good chance of running into most of the languages there at least once. I am pretty happy with languages now as it looks like a lot of you got the hint

Looks like we've got a fair number of people with some drive/pilot skill in addition to our specialist.

Only thing needed is some medic and heavy weapons skill (unless I missed it somewhere).

Eureka!!

Code Name: Silent Snake.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Well. I posted the grenade launcher question to my buddies over at the America's Army forum. I'll let you know when i get a response. Searching on the net proved fruitless. They had one in Rainbow Six and Half-Life, but I can't find any real life pictures.

However, who is to say that it wouldn't become common in 6-8 years? *shrugs* Not really important though. I'll drop it if you want me to.

I'm really looking forward to this.

 

[Krizzel]

Silent Snake is perfect

I will probably let you have the launcher Ashrem...just don't want to promise it until I've looked things over.

I was planning to convert some more weapons to make the game more 'near future' anyway. I should say when I do add something that 'would have been there all along' I'll let anyone who has a similiar weapon switch focus and such if they'd like.

 

[Krizzel]

FYI I'm going to write up your commanding officer and post him here so you can get a look at how I'd like the bios and 'character sheets' done for their final versions. Then I'll open up a Rogues Gallery thread.
