Play@YSDC

A week and some to go.
I´ve started the ic-thread and made an NPC, your ROT-guy Sgt Thompson.
Two individuals have shown interest in joining the battle camp at Khe Sanh.
That is sufficient to proceed at the 26th.

More parties are welcome, though.

I´ll be setting up more things for the launch.
Cheers!

Four slots picked. If you need some help with the character creation just give me a PM or post in the appropriate thread.
I hope we´ll have some fun here!

Roll call: Mr Handy, Pickman37, Seon and Kadael.

Characters in progress: Mr Handy as Private Eric Whitehouse. Heavy Weapons Support, Reporter and Sniper.

Say hi to committed hero, who takes over Sgt Thompson as your go-to guy at Khe Sanh.
Welcome C-H !

Characters in progress and ready for play:

Mr Handy as Private Eric Whitehouse. Heavy Weapons Support, Reporter and Sniper.

Seon ad Private Sam Hobbes. Heavy Weapons, Joker, Sniper.

Pickman37 as Private Tobias Berkowitz. Rifleman, Tunnel Rat.

Kadael as Private James Beckett. Rifleman, FNG, Medic.

committed hero as Sergeant Hugh Thompson. Radio Operator, Joker, Sniper.

I edited the speech to the right color. Thanks for the heads-up.

Please don't frag me

No worries, I didn´t spell the format rules out for you in the first place.

Good luck, will be following this one with interest!

Cheers, Hal

Cough.

Mr. Handy, you might want to keep that condom if you want to water-proof that sensitive M16 of yours.

Heh.

It also apparently excels as multi-purpose containers too. Good for carrying water in emergency... can be used for improvised explosives... for storing garrotes... acid... underwtaer explosive devices...

What Can't condoms do?

Heh.

It also apparently excels as multi-purpose containers too. Good for carrying water in emergency... can be used for improvised explosives... for storing garrotes... storing acid... used as a part for underwtaer explosive devices...

What Can't condoms do?

....Offer 100% reliability?

Anyways, on another note, do we list what we will be taking on the mission, omitting that which is left in the bunker.

Also, still wondering if the satchel charge originally listed as initial character equipment for my character is one and the same as the demolitions pack, i.e. Am I humping both around or just one?

Thanks!

@all: Sorry for disappearing like this.

Pickman37: The two charges are different and you may pick and choose if you want to carry one, two or three charges.
The first one listed is a one pack with a fuse, used to blow up a bunker similar to the one you´re in right now - or a tunnel.
The second package equipped on the pack in the corridor holds two charges with the option to discharge remotely.

I´ll edit the sheets to contain what you keep.

Berkowitz takes:

Among his initial equipment: M-16, MK 2 Frag Grenades, Knife, .45 M1911 Pistol and his helmet

Items from the pack: - Camo cover for steel helmet (Which I'll affix to my helmet in advance)
- Jungle Boots (Which I'll put on now or before leaving)
- 1 pair of socks
- Water-proof canvas poncho
- mosquito-bite lotion
- matches
- sewing kit
- condoms
- one large guaze patch
- toilet paper
- safety pins
- bayonet (Attached to M16)
- chewing gum
- C rations
- 2 water canteens
- Lensatic compass

I'll leave my satchel charge pack behind but carry the squad demolitions pack. I'll also take the two flashlights issued to me.

Hopefully, I can still move

Stop taking all the good numbers, you guys!

LOL agreed Kadael!

I must have hit Invisible Castle at low ebb...

Hopefully, my hair-pulling and eye-poking skills do better

Not sure if I would get the benefit of training but I rolled well.

Committed Hero,
Quit stealing my crummy rolls!

Just kidding. I guess any improvement helps and the only bonus is that the penalty for kicking ability was minor so it actually balances out...

I´ll reserve this spot for checked skills and skill increases.


Beckett: Hide (10),

Berkowiz: stealth (55),

Sarge:

Whitehouse: Listen 55%

Hobbes:

Male or female scream?

Sorry about that, male scream. Not Mullins or Berkowiz, at least that what Sarge guesses.

I completely missed all those new posts in the IC thread over the last few days! Going In isn't visible when I'm not logged in, so I couldn't see that new posts had been made.

OK, I´ve uncloaked the forum as averyone´s there.

I still can't see it when I'm not logged in.

Tweaking guest privileges right now.

I was in the same boat

Ah, that what one gets when trying to be sneaky with visibility. My bad. I will keep anything private in spoiler tags from now on.
Hope for easier access.

Reporting back for duty, sir

Welcome back. Time in the jungle is slow. Nothing as hectic as life in the busy streets of a city.

The team has divided up, Mullins is ahead in the village clearing some larger buildings.
Berkoviz is going house from house looking for hostiles.
Hobbes is currently keeping a cover arc over the village, should another sniper appear. He also checks
back the path they came from, in case the VC they almost ran into earlier arrive back at the village.

Saege checks the searched sheds for trapdoors.

Whithouse is looking for movement from the shed on the crest.

Beckett is... staying low, finding a plan not involving him being shot at

I´ve created a new thread called Vertical Run for events 20 years into the future. Manhattan 1988.
There you can update your characters as per directions in that thread,

Over and out!

You might want to check the permissions on your boards. I just deleted a spammer who had somehow posted in Going In in spite of not having been validated.

Thanks, I think I´ve solved the issue. Thumbs up for the retirement!

No problem! We can't have replicants running around posting spam.

Cute catch. Speaking of that, I´m working on a project to draw the floor plan of Deckard´s apartment. Got myself the DVD today.
After my Antarctica scenario over at Obsidian I´m hosting a Blade Runner game.
Hopefully it will turn out good.

But first I have to get this war zone cleared.

Awesome! I'd like to play in your Blade Runner game when you do have time to run it, but it's certainly better to finish your current game before starting another.

Lol! I am also intrigued, willing to play, even though I have not been on that site. By coincidence, I just watched the movie a few nights ago again in honour of its 30th anniversary this year and got to reminisce about how my hometown theatre let me in to the show at 8 yrs old, despite the rating and, as an old-timer now, how violent Hannah's cinematic death was...Oh well the 80s...Something else but what a fantastic, visual movie...Sounds like a groovy idea for a game Syrinx!

Cool, two applications to the rep detect unit! Possibly before 2019... I really want to get to the -80´s bit of The Eyes of Doom. Thanks for hanging in there. Let´s see if all soldiers of The Walking Dead can get back to base alive.

On the Blade Runner idea. I´m going to use some material from the Swedish game Noir and the home-brew outlines of Steff and I had a look at a year ago. Steff has done some promotional ads for his scenario (which I won´t use but the elements in it will be borrowed.)





As for my stab at Deckard´s apartment, here it is. I have some tweaks left to make, but it´s fairly accurate.
