This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Same answer for me. Never seen it or knew it existed.

I love the crude simplicity of that cover.

I did wonder if it was the game's authors in the photo!

I always thought that comics and RPGs should have "About the author(s)" captions with photos in the back, just like "Real" books.

If the authors are brandishing guns and looking like members of the SLA... even better!

I think they saved that for the limited edition Patty Hearst cover...

Hi all.

I literally created an account so that I could add to this thread.

I would love to get involved in your game if you still have slots available and the fact I'm based in the UK doesn't automatically exclude me.

I've been trying to find a system to run modern day PMC campaign and The Company by D101 might be worth checking out if you are also interested.

That said, if you want inspiration for modern day PMC check out the graphic novel series: Black Powder Red Earth, truly awesome work.

You  should ask Black Vulmea if it's too late. Not much has happened so far but he's running the show.

I suspect I was right...

Turns out there was also a supplement (Code Name: Nova) & a scenario (The Omega File) published for Merc - D.O.W.

Dumarest, you wouldn't happen to be at all tempted to run a game of Merc, would you?

Maybe if I can find the time. What did you have in mind?

I was just thinking such is my enthusiasm to play Merc that I could handle playing in two games at the same time on Rpol.

Storming86

Thanks for the welcome condottierie!

Apologies for the double post.

I'm rolling up a character and after some abysmal rolling I am only able to qualify for a couple of Secondary Specialities and not any Primary Specialities.

It is ok to take a Secondary Speciality without having a Primary?

I think I'm going to be running a distinctly average Comm Expert!

Did you check with Black Vulmea? If I were the GM, I'd probably just have you roll a new Merc until you qualified for one Primary or another.
