Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

Good thing we had those hero points, eh Bobitron?

Agree with that! Marcel is a fan of nurses, but doesn't want to see the inside of the hospital if he can avoid it. I had a fear of rolling a one after adding the die, but it all worked out OK.

APs are your friend.

Told you you had nothing very little to worry about!

Not for Vidal...
Better get your kit out.

About languages.. For simplicity's sake, shouldn't we use colors for all languages -but- french? The bulk of the talking will probably be done in french.. So using the default color would probably be easier, no?

I like to use color for any speech to make it easy to differentiate between something a character says and something s/he thinks - it also makes it easier to go back and find something that was said rather than trying to pick it out of paragraphs of similar text.

I post speech in other languages thus: <Spanish> "The road to San Miguel is not open, señor."

We could use standard colors for different languages if there is a consensus among the players - the only color I would reserve is blue as I use that for web links, such as the camo pattern or "Le Boudin."

I'm open to suggestions.

знаток, yes, I didn't mean to suggest that the Tumble check wasn't allowed - I assumed everyone knew to take it if it applied to their character. I'll be more complete with my wording in the future.

I also plan on using color (Yellow Green) whenever Marcel speaks. I don't really care what happens with language, not too important to me. I think using a tag like Shaman demonstrated might be better than having to look at a key to see what language a person is speaking.

Heh it doesn't matter much to me anyway, Normand only understands french.. Is that color red?

 

[The Shaman]

Is that color red?

I use brown for the spoken word.

Red is a little too red for me to read comfortably in large blocks.

I concur with all. See? We weren't wrong to be so excited. This is a blast! Thanks a lot Shaman.

 

[Barak]

man, I'd never have guessed this was brown. Oh well. Normand doesn't speak very much anyway.

I apologize for the rather bland post, I just didn't have -too- much to do, and I sorta expect we are about to get attacked or something, and didn't want to go too far. I hate editing stuff out of game posts.

All the posts have been great so far! No worries.

I apologize if it doesn't feel like your characters are the "stars" of the show. I'm trying to capture the feel of being the low-rung on the military totem pole while providing both action and the opportunity for individual heroics that make up d20 Modern. This will get easier as the game goes on, so I hope you'll be patient as we develop your characters though their experience.
