TFO's One Shots! Take 1, A.I.M. Mercenary Game (IC thread now open)

Seeing that long term games don't really seem to last here I'm gonna run one shot games besides my PbP campaign at the moment. So dedication won't last for too long and after one mission it's over and I'll start recruiting again. Possibly for a whole other type of game.

I'm starting recruitement now for a Modern game. Rules for creating a character are those used to create a PC in a Call of Cthulhu game with the sanity score and all. Sanity will be used.

This game however will not have any mythos in it or any supernatural things. It's going to be realistic and in modern day and just a one shot as noted before. So I'm gonna need three players for this first game. Just three, no more, no less. Dedicated posted who can assure me that they'll post at least once a day. That it won't be possible for weeks on end I understand but in normal situations I suspect one post a day. This game will take a few weeks but no more then a couple of months. I hope to finish it within the next two orso.

You are mercenaries and you are registered at A.I.M. organisation, the Association of International Mercenaries. From their ranks and files you have been chosen for this mission. It is illigal and covert and you have no idea what it will be. You shall be briefed upon arrival at a certain place which you shall receive coordinates for and transportation after you agree and sign up. You shall receive intelligence and equipment from A.I.M. plus any stuff you want to take along for yourselves.

Three people have been selected from the members list of A.I.M. for this mission.

You three.

It's a one day operation and pay depends on the experience of the mercenary after completion and is in US$. Work at A.I.M. comes with life insurance and full medical care. Equipment is to be returned after completion of the mission.

[I'm opening a thread besides this where people can put their merc PC's in and I'll choose from them for the mission.]

TFO, a few questions:

8+Int skill points and 1-5 feats; from this I gather different than in D20 modern neither human skill point bonus or bonus feat for the PC's?

What about skills? Since you stated no lists of apropriate skills, is everything considered a class skill?


Thanks for answering!

Everything can be a class skill it's just what you pick and have your mercenary be. And humans are the only race here on the planet in this game so no point of feat benefits.
Everyone has that amount of feats and the rogue skillpoints. You get to pick your own experience level. But please create a PC with a personality and with a background. A real newbie considering the job can be as satisfying and funny (!) to play as a veteran.

The skill rules and no bonus feat are from d20 CoC and nog D20 Modern. I like the CoC rules for modern day better then D20 Modern. And they are more open to houseruling which I do ALOT.

I forgot to post how I do attack with automatic weapons.

Single shots are allowed to take as much as your bab grants you and with feats like rapid shot and multi shot and stuff.

Burst shots can be taken instead of a single shot. But they incur penalties ranging from -2 to -15. Depending on the gun and if you are specialised in automatic weapons and to which degree and if you are an offensive character or not.

Thanks!

I don't own CoC or Spycraft or any other "modern" D20 game, so I went by D20 Modern, the only one I know.


Concerning this, another question just popped up: Feats from D20 Modern? Are they allowed?

So just posts and actions, descriptions, intentions and conversations... no rules. I'll just simply rule on anything in my own posts. The game will still work with rounds and stuff.

If you are interested read this thread for how to create a character (no rules or books needed!) and post your concept there!

here is where I mean!
