I met her at a Vampire LARP and later I taught her tabletop gaming. The first game was Cyberpunk 2020 and she played a Fixer that turned into an awesome and powerful character.I remember one adventure she was given found a job that paid VERY well. A corporation was testing a new anti-power armor weapon in a highly secured base with surrounding proving grounds...in the Mojave Desert during summer! We are talking the works. A battalion of armor, two of infantry and a squad of ACPA, satellite surveillance, electrified fence and killer drones. She had 7 days to get in....observe 4 days of trials and record their tests and get out with the results. She suggested the following and actually arranged most of what they needed. She called in a favor with a commander she knew through a friend of a friend who commanded an Airborne Cavalry Squadron. My lovely wife then got out a ledger pad and made a shopping list of weapons, armor, IR cammo tents, rations, water condensation machines, generators and the like. She arranged to ride with the unit as they go do a jump. Everyone in the party quickly checked their character sheet and all said "Yo Jade...we don't have no skills wit da parachute". She said, "That’s cool. Skill chips baby!" So.... the unit (6th Squadron, 66th Airborne Cavalry Regiment) does their usual bi-monthly jump to maintain proficiency and 6 hours later the PC's are alone (except for the military pilots) and are over the desert where the are going to jump in.now mind you...not static line like normal paratroopers from about 500 ft. to no more then 10,000 ft..... nope...not "Jade" and the PC's. They all have oxygen masks on and are going in HALO.... High Altitude Low Opening. They are going to jump from about 30,000 ft. and burn in until they get to about 800 ft. before they open their chutes. With a tear in my eye I rolled the dice and watched proudly as the PC's jump in....lose about 1/2 of the cargo pallets in the jump <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="(:" />)<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=":)" /><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=":)" /><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=":)" /> happens) and they scramble to gather up stuff and get off the drop zone before Militech comes over to find out what went "plop!"Recently she tried Deeds Not Words RPG. Now that was a bit harder for everyone so I made up “cheat sheets”. Please email me if you want a copy of one and an explanation on how to use them. They are so GREAT! My email is…. spelled out to prevent spambots from using it…marsalpha at yahoo dot com. She made an awesome character that was grade “A” nasty in combat all based on the Bride in Kill Bill after we were watching it.With all this she will not play fantasy RPG’s like AD&D. She doesn’t do what she calls “hobbit crap”. She just can’t get into it….that and has heard to many “Dead Ale Wives” skits and the like and can’t help but laugh. Oh well…can’t win them all right.</blockquote>
