New game in the planning: advice welcome.

By the way, couldn't virgins have a variant skill of self-Lovecraft, or is that below the level of granularity even for Harnmaster

That has been the subject of much discussion over the years. Some skills such as Lore/Craft skills in Harnmaster can have specialities once a certain skill level is reached so I guess you could have Lovecraft (Self). Kind of pointless though. I think it is safe to assume that most characters that are concious and not paralysed can effectively pleasure themselves if they feel the need. Haven't had it happen in an RPG session yet though (and hope I never will).

I most sincerely hope you are correct in that, the mind boggles at the thought.

I had a player who wanted to know how good at sex his character was. I told him to roll a d100 (it was v1 rules), and he rolled a 14 -- in other words, he sucked. (Or maybe he didn't...)

Or maybe he did...

This discussion of "self-love" rules belongs in the T2K forum hall of fame (or is it hall of shame) for weird discussion topics. Quite amusing.

Simonmark6, good luck with your FtF sessions.

[simonmark6]

Thanks, I just hope I'll be able to run something that comes a little bit close to the fun I have in your game.

Prog Rock might be getting too close to cruel and unnatural however....

In a Lovecraftian sense

Man, I've overlooked this thread before ...
Can we have this "T2K forum hall of fame", Raellus, please

Will it be a M88A1 or an M88A2 by the way Just wondering as I work with the M88A2 every day. If you are starting them with a full load out of weapons dont forget that the M88 can carry multiple man-portable anti-tank rockets as well - in Afghanistan the Marines have carried as many as 5 on board, but the normal load is two. Also while you can carry six guys in an M88 it will be a very tight fit to do that long term and have any stuff with them.

One thing you can do with the M88 is hire it out to Krakow for their work on building up their walls or for tank repairs - its not glamorous but it would earn you needed supplies, food and fuel most likely.

I went with the M88A2. It was a tight squeeze to start with but after hitting a Soviet convoy they had a couple more vehicles to play with.

The campaign finished a couple of years ago, it ran for about thirty sessions over two years but then the kids all went to college in different parts of the country.

The M88A2 was a great vehicle, it kept them alive until Krakow and then gave them Hell as the authorities started shennanegins to get the vehicle off them.

I bet they wanted that vehicles - a traveling machine shop and crane that can defend itself as well. Plus the ultimate vehicle for recovering other vehicles for either spare parts or putting them back into action.

I.e. Boris we could use the M88 those Americans have to finally get that T-72 that is stuck in the swamp out so we could use it!

[simonmark6]

That was pretty much it.

The party were given a heads up that the WK were going to raid their camp and they used the raid as a diversion to rescue their informant who had traded the info to get him and his girlfriend and her dad out of town.

The girlfriend happened to be Kurtzeba's mistress and the party managed to get away with a couple of heavy weapons and some ammo and an introduction to Adam Rataj as a way out of Dodge.
