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

Most excellent! And glad to hear he's actually a belated father's day gift after all.

Just a quick check-in to say things are going well, and I should have a post up in the next two days.

Not sure if any of you guys get the Military Channel on cable (or have time to watch it...) but they just had a new series start up called Escaping to the Legion. It details a modern group of poor blokes who have decided to try out life as a Legionnaire. They're in boot camp now....

I've been watching and getting an interesting feel for the way of life for our characters. Especially when they mention that if you 'ring the bell' to get discharged, then you have to spend 24 hours in prison first...

Yeah, the time is a bigger problem for me. I haven't been getting enough sleep as it is.

Or maybe a little longer than two days...

Sorry, everyone. I've been able to post on the laptop I borrowed from work, but my home office became the guest room for the past two weeks, meaning I had only sporadic access to my regular computer and campaign files. My sister-in-law is leaving tonight, so things should be back to normal again.

My wife and son are doing very well, my daughter is getting used to the idea of another little person around the house, and I'm smiling an awful lot these days.

Shadow, is this a new season of Escape..., or is it a repeat of the series that premiered last December? I saw the first go-round - very interesting stuff, though after reading Simon Murray's account of Legion basic training, I think the show went pretty darn easy on those guys!

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

Well, it's new to me..... I'm not sure if it's a redux of that one or not, as I didn't see it back then.

Glad to hear that everything is going so well though!!

Since we're not allowed to hijack the Ptolus thread anymore..

I just wanted you to know that just as I was somewhat more impetuous with Normand than I, myself, would have been before, his experience after the past incidents, I figure, would have changed the way he reacts to things, hence his latest actions. Hopefully, the brass will recognize his change.

Marcel needs to stay healthy for when Normand limps back with a broken ankle. He's not chasing donkeys.

 

[Barak]

Yeah well, don't come whining at me when Normand gets all the glory for capturing the donkey that was transporting all the WMDs.

That really was a great plan, Barak - I was kinda looking forward to the no-ranks Handle Animal checks, I have to admit...

Weapons of Mule Delivery?

Yay, I got the thousandth post in the [METAGAME] thread! Woot!
