bump?
The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion.
It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

We're actually ready for a real-world game, so that is what we're waiting for...

Re: Mission 2
Yeah baby! Let's get this on the schedule and strap into our walking nuclear reactors!!!!

Re: Mission 2
We're talking about a Battletech scenario right, rather than an RPG session?
As a tabletop miniatures scenario, I suggest we run it in one of our scheduled board game days; I'm thinking May 13. We could also try for a midweek game, but with softball practice twice a week, that's not easily doable for me.
What does everyone think?

I'm generally not available during the week.

Re: Mission 2
Sure - I'm also fine with running it on a scheduled board game day.

Re: Mission 2

It is safe to assume that I won't be needed if my character has not been introduced, correct?

Re: Mission 2
Couldn't be more wrong, George! . It's Battletech, so there will be plenty of mechs and tanks to go around!! And in this particular mission there will be a bunch of 'npc mechs'.T1Mirage wrote:It is safe to assume that I won't be needed if my character has not been introduced, correct?

George, if you want to play, show up. I'm sure we can work you in somehow...

Yeah, George, I am not part of the RPG online campaign, but if we are doing a Battletech game on a boardgame week - I'll be there to provide the chaos factor as an 'npc' mech.

Re: Mission 2
That's really not a bad idea Jon. If Bob, Ken, and Lance show up, you guys can help me and run some of the OPFOR.

Re: Mission 2
The Dropship burns out to the awaiting jumpship, taking nearly a week to traverse the interplanetary space between the planet Sierra and the jumppoint 1 AU or so over the parent star's pole. "We'll shadow you," Jack informs you as you prepared to leave. "As a Lyran-registered ship coming in from the Periphery, there shouldn't be too much confusion. With a little luck, we'll meet you there for the...uh...'repossession.'"
The journey from the Sierra system to Bolan takes more than a month, jumping from star-to-star, with sufficient downtime to let the jump core recharge. Using mostly uninhabited or lightly settled star systems, the unmarked jumpship makes the journey mostly undetected (though in one uninhabited system, they did bump into a merchantship; the cover held).
On board the an ancient and somewhat decrepit Confederate-class dropship, you make a high-G burn from a pirate jump point, as there is no way to mask the emergence signal of 100,000t of starship tearing through the fabric of spacetime. The captain informs you that based on the duration of the precursor IR signature, and the amount of IR radiation being put out by the local space the ship would soon occupy, the Bolan defenders will be able to calculate the distance traveled, and determine where they came from ("of course this violates causality, but no one important will ever know," the captain laughs; physics jokes seem to go over your heads).
You make Planetfall on Bolan a few hours later, a mountainous, wrinkled and dry planet with only a few large oceans or green areas...
