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

[знаток]

Don't let the fact that Neumann and Duval jumped on Normand and Vidal give you the idea that I want you to do anything differently....

Thanks for mentioning it. I'll keep it in mind, but for the most part Vidal's acted as such intentionally so far. As it's his first time in a combat situation as a legionnaire, he's not about to piss on the veteran leadership without first giving them the benefit of a doubt.

I was working on adventures - I've completed the next three (Life During Wartime, Djebel-al-Ghazi, and Musketeers) and sketched out the following half-dozen or so (beginning with The Battle of Algiers), carrying us all the way from June 1956 (which is where we've started) through the spring of 1961 (marking the end of your characters' five-year enlistments).

As I was working on hooks and pushes, I realized I completely forgot to ask you at the outset if your characters adopted noms de guerre when they joined the Legion. It would help me if you could make a decision on this - basically I'd like to know if your character is using a fake name, and if so, if the name is used on official records only or if the name is used with the other legionnaires as well.

Marcel is 100% Marcel.

Pyotr is Pyotr. He feels there is no need to hide his name from anyone. Though upset with his country, he is proud of his family.

 

[Barak]

Hmm, hadn't really thought of that, to be honest, but given the fact that Normand -was- running from some of his past, he would have in fact registered under a false name. Yet he would use his real name in day-to-day affairs, as he wouldn't believe that the people who might be after him have -that- much pull.

He'd have registered under the name Jocelyn Laliberté.

Bobitron, have you heard from знаток at all? He hasn't posted to either game thread in quite awhile. Is everything okay?

Actually, I did. He lost his internet connection at home. I just spoke with him, he will post from work tonight.

 

[The Shaman]

He lost his internet connection at home.

Ugh - that can be so frustrating.

Our cable connection only failed once in the last couple of years, but it was then that I realized that I get about 90% of the information I used to receive from the television and newspapers from the Internet. "Whaddya mean I can't get a real-time look at traffic? Or the weather radar?"

Hopefully things will be back to normal soon - thanks for the update.

 

[знаток]

Sorry about that, all. Thanks for understanding. I hadn't really realized how much I rely on it either until it went down. Suddenly I need to make extra phone calls and I seem to have considerably more free time. I'd gone a long time without watching any television at home, and now I actually find myself searching for something to watch (and using the weather channel again ). Hopefully I can figure the system out this week.
