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

[The Shaman]

Here's a 1024x768 shot of it.

That is the Casbah in the background - to the right of the photo is the community of Bab-el-Oued, the 'Water Gate' of the old city, which at the time of the campaign is a working-class pieds-noirs neighbohood (one that your characters will visit on one of their adventures, as a matter of fact...!)

I think the picture was taken from the breakwater that marks the west edge of the port of Algiers. I've spent much too much time looking at the maps of the city!

Great picture!

Hospital! The terrible food, the crazy doctors, the overly-.. Err "Enthusiastic" nurses... We have reasons to be worried!

Wait a minute...how did you get peek at my notes?!?

 

[Barak]

I saw your notes before the game begun, and as soon as I saw mention of the.. Errr.. Enthusiastic nurses, I picked the Endurance feat for Normand.

Yes, but since then I added a homebrewed feat, "Exotic Melee Weapons Proficiency (catheter)," and a new AdC, the Proctologist...

Awesomeness!

Was it the OS re-load that made the difference?

Well, in the system recovery process that the computer has built in it says that it reinstalls it, but I don't think it really starts from scratch. So anyway, I didn't redo the OS from disc. I just had this computer guy from work come over and reconfigure my modem and check out the rest of the PC. Things still seem good.

It looks like I missed the most interesting role-playing yet while I was off without a computer this week. Sorry I couldn't be there. :\ I'm really looking forward to participating more frequently!

Also, should I be removing the pistol and the Motorola SCR-300 radio from my equipment? I left them on in italics just in case.

Yes, please remove them - that was gear assigned for your "training" jump...

If you decide that you want to carry a sidearm, you can request one from your officer later on, or you can purchase one on your own when you get leave and ask your officer if you can carry it.

Me, too.

I just figured that Vidal was nursing a monster of a headache and wasn't up for much conversation...

The new game thread is up!

Amazing what you can do when you don't let the need for sleep interfere with your hobbies. (Man, I'm going to be tired in the morning.)

This is how I anticipate the transitions between adventures to work, though in most cases you won't be scattered across half of Algeria - a short narrative that gets you from one engagement to the next. If you have any problem with the format or the content, please let me know. I tried not to take too many liberties with your characters... Feel free to expand on these experiences as you share them in-game.

You guys will have a chance to talk amongst yourselves for a little bit - the other legionnaire was asleep in the truck when everyone arrived, so no one's spoken with him yet.

To your equipment lists please add a flashlight in your packs, and Marcel can add a red cross brassard (arm band) to his medical kit.

Whoo hoo! I'll get a post up soon.

I updated the glossary this morning and posted it at the head of the new game thread: we have enough French and Arabic flying around that I don't want to lose anyone.

And yes, as predicted, I'm a zombie this morning... :\
