[Starship Troopers] Wheeler's Wildcats HQ

[Ranger Rick]

Still need players?

I'd like to play the chaplain, with an eye toward Maurader driver....

Chaplains do not carry weapons nor drive weaponary. But than maybe they do in the future.

Gomez, what's the standard religion in the SST future? Generic monotheism?

Its specifically mentioned in the book how the chaiplan drops with the rest of the crew, and how Rico couldn't imagine it being any other way, even though he'd been told how there used to be chaplains who didn't fight alongside the men.

You have all the standard religions and all the off shoots. A Chaplain even though he might be Buddist would serve as Chaplain for all the different religions present in his Platoon, etc...

The Padre was a section leader to boot!

 

[Einan]

Sweet. Nails'll be Catholic, then, with full qualifications to minister to all faiths. He'd carry a cross as his personal religious token.

I'm re-reading Heinlein's classic now, and it's got me raring to go. How far into the bug war are we? Has Buenos Aires bought it yet?

PS: What exactly do the Mounted weapons Prof and Marauder Mastery feats do?

 

[Falkus]

You know, I think I'm going to get a copy of the Starship Troopers RPG and start up a tabletop campaign of my own when I get back to uiniversity in septermber. I think I'll base it off of Terran Ascendancy, the Starship Troopers RTS for the PC.

 

[Micar Sin]

Ok, got my copy of the book today, finsihed my character. I'm going for sniper with this one. If I did anything wrong, let me know!

Jack 'Dog' Calhoun

Jack was raised in the tiny town of Blaine in the south eastern region of North America. His father, Mitch, lost his right foot in the service, and his older sister, Jenny 'Ribs' Calhoun is currently a Marauder-9 operator, so there was little doubt about Jack joining the Mobile Infantry in their footsteps. Raised in the country, Jack learned a good deal about hunting and setting traps, as well as handling hunting dogs. Laid back almost to the point of being laconic, he prefers to let his actions speak for themselves, and isn’t above showing up a mouthy braggart on the firing range...
