Spycraft G.I. Joe PbP (I'm recruiting at this time! GMs and players!)

[Douane]

I believe the Shadowforce Archer book should be able to cover such things. However I don't own that book presently. I might pick it up if I see it in the used area (being as though I don't use that sort of stuff in my SC campaign). It covers magic and psychic abilities.

Morgenstern will be able to give you a good idea of what is and isn't possible, he is the rules expert on Spycraft.

Thanks for the tip, buzzard. I lost touch with the schedule and nature of published sourcebooks when I couldn't even get a basic spycraft game together here, no matter what I tried. Unfortunately, this also means I won't be able to get the SF Archer sourcebook, as I'm no longer in the position to buy supplements I've no chance of using.

Enough meandering, finally made my choice:

Primary: Spirit
Secondary: Rip Cord

Greenshirt: Ravine


(Can't resist the chance play Spirit )

Can't resist the chance play Spirit

Good choices! And trust me we will make sure he's fun to play also.


Everyone else if you’re interested in playing Snake Eyes please say so... If you've already made choice don't worry you'll still have them till after you find out rather or not you have Snake Eyes. When that happens you'll have to give up your secondary or for whatever reason your primary. If you’re new and want SE say so and pick to other peoples. (Primary and Secondary)

I guess I need a green shirt as well eh? Well how about Pa Duece? He'll be a .50 Cal Heavy Machinegunner. (Hence Pa Duece who is married to Ma Duece).

Mordhiem, check and check. Welcome aboard! Do you have the book(s) in question?

Yep, I've got Spycraft corebook and limited access to all of the silver books.

As for levels, I think we should just start out at the same level, somewhere between 8 and 12. Both beacuase officers aren't neccesarily more talented than their subordinates (remeber, every Joe is a super expert at what they do) and also, it just eliminates any feelings of 'unfairness' amongst the players.

As for Snake Eyes... well, I don't want to play him, but could I play Storm Shadow? Pretty please?

Good! Silver books I'm gussing is the archer series?

As a member of the US Navy I can vouch for the officer and subordinate clause their... But I also like the idea of their being a true chain of command (DID I JUST SAY THAT? SOMEONE SHOOT ME!) and off setting levels would help to show that. Well shall see though and we might put it to a vote.

Sure I'm always looking for qualified DMs/GMs shall I sign you up?

Brother S.,

thanks!

I'm sure we can get "Spirit" to work somehow.



One question, though: "somewhere near the end of the first active phase"
I assume this would be after the events of Marvel #145 which returns Destro, Zartan and eventually Storm Shadow and the Baroness back into the Cobra fold?

Silver=generic for any campaign
Black= Shadowforce Archer

I think we can maintain the chain of command without worrying about levels. I have worked for people who didn't know much before.

I remember having the chain of command be more fluid... Sure, Stalker outranks Snow Job and has final say on things, but if they're on an Arctic mission, Snow Job leads.

I favor equal levels, but I have Stalker and Rock n' Roll, and I think Hawk, Duke and Falcon are the only guys who outrank Stalker, so I'd at least get a higher level guy if you go that route.

Roy, here in response to that PM on Sgt. Savage.

Okay sign me up one of these Joe Rps has to last.

Yeah I'm familiar with the subject but not the system. I can do Old WEG Starwars and Palladium but not this one. While I didn't mention it that much on Sgt. Savage I've been an upper GM (as rpg go) on for another quasi-military message board rpg for about 3 years. I can provide help if needed on infostructure and organization from my experience of what I know that works but on resolving combat posts you're on you're own.
