Hi,

I will be running a PBEM game using the Hero rules system.
Turns will be roughly 2 to 3 times a week, depending on
school and work schedule (2 atleast). The information I
need from people are listed below. If you have any questions
or would like to audit the sessions, then please feel free
to contact me.

I am looking for 5 people to play.

THE STAGE

Genre:          Tour of Duty
Location:       Republic of Viet Nam
Heroic Level:   Competent Normals (100 pts.)

THE ACTORS

Characters will be based on 50 pts. bonus and 50 pts. of
disadvantages. There will be a chracteristic maxima of 20,
anything over 20 will cost double (figured stats vary).

All skills allowed as well as all talents, however, characters
must justify talents in order to have them.

Equipment is supplied by Uncle Sam (all the beans-n-bullets a
'leg' can want).

NO PSYCHIC POWERS OR ELEMENTA CONTROLS! This is not an alternate
Earth.

The characters are all soldiers in the U.S. Army. They are all
infantry sodiers specializing in Long Range Patrols (LRP's).
They will belong to 1st squad, 1st platoon, Charlie Company
loacted near the heavy action.

Please be aware that the location is a dangerous one, so don't
get too attached to your character; it's a dangerous world out
there with charlie and bboby-traps all over the place.

I'll take more characters past the ones I needed and put them on
a waiting list and cycle them through should pc's die in the line
of duty. Individuals can turn in more than one character however,
they must specify in which order they will be played (play a, and if
a dies, play b, etc...).

Jeff Johnson has been gracious enough to supply a 'grunt' package
deal for those of you who wish to use it.

Fw Small Arms(2), +1w/rifles(3), Survival(3), PS:Soldier(2),
PS: Infantry(2), Fw AK: Vietnam(1) TOTAL 13 BONUS -2

That's all I can think of for now. If you are interested, then drop
me a line. War is hell, and boy this one is gonna be a bloody one!
