Checking into the net
 

Hello: My names Bryon. I've played T2K a good bit in high school and college, 85 - 91. Interested to see that the game is still alive.

I've played a good bit of minatures, mostly WWII and Modern. I've put together a few wargames that were T2K like.

:panzer:

VIRGIN BLOOD VIRGIN BLOOD VIRGIN BLOOD.... I get the ... OOOPS I mean welcome to the forum...

Welcome to the forum Apache6!

Fresh meat, eh? I'll do the carving this time since Targan botched up cutting on the last gu...err...welcome, that is. ;)

Bugger carving! Somebody pass me my chainsaw!!! :p

No Leg, you don't get to re-do the 'I've been reborn'-trick from bad taste again...

OMFG!
Somebody else who actually knows about that movie! :D
CLASSIC!!!!!

Are you kidding? The corner store in Bad Taste was just down the road when I lived in Wellington. It freaked me right out the first time I saw it.

Bet you were looking over your shoulder for zombies and sheep for a while.... :p
Oh, wait, you're a New Zealander. You wanted the sheep! :D

Unless it's a zombie sheep. Don't want them :cool:

Hi everyone! I've been looking around at TW2K stuff lately, haven't looked at it in quite a while. I really like this site, some good info here.

About me:

Navy Veteran('85 to '91), Electronics Tech, ET2;
Great Lakes Naval Training Center
Adak
Guam
San Diego

Started playing Wargames with Squad Leader in the mid-70's, actually I consider my first "RolePlayiing Experience" to be when we used the "Create Your Own Leader" optional rules. First played TW2K in 1985 and fell in love with it. I GM'ed it for several years. Owned most of the modules. GM'ed TW2K v2.0 and 2.2 and never was really happy about that system. I prefer the character generation of v1.0.

Favorite Module is probably Krakow but really liked the other Polish adventures and Armies of the Night.

Pet Peeve of the RPG Line: Satellite Down. I could(and have) go off on a whole rant of all the problems with that one. Other more minor Pet Peeves is other apparent lack of research on the US Navy info in the game.

Anyway, very cool site here. I really like a lot of the info and posts here.

Not as fresh meat as we thought... a bit gamey if you ask me... lol. Welcome... take off your clothes and have a beer. Just stay away from the Aussies on the board and you should be okay.

And be prepared when he comes out with the rubber glove. :D Welcome!

:D

Welcome, newbie!
Bare your soul, cough up your most prized ideas and special tricks, and pull up a beer.

Hey there. Just getting around to joining the forum, although I know a lot of the folks here via the long-lost 93G forums. I'm a long-time Twilight player and afficianado, although my preferred system is now Savage Worlds. I like to toy around with PA-modified photos and other stuff. It's nice to be among friends.

Welcome Neal!

Hello the internets!

I've been a T2k fan ever since I joined an abortive PBEM as a teenager. Got my brother and friends into the game, despite only having the timeline and CG. Ah, the folly of youth! >.>

Haven't... actually played in a successful campaign, in fact. I once coded T2k 2.2 CG in TinyMUX, only to have the database assplode on me. :( Ah, the folly of unemployed youth! <.<

I've played a bunch of online RPGs (MU* format, kind of chat+code), and managed to get a group of friends from there interested in 2013. Kevin and the gents did a fine job of making the book itself appeal more to the less-militaristic sorts. Since only one of them is anywhere near Austin, we're having to do it online--I think I've found a great format, actually, but that's for another post.

So I'm here for the best-practices, the ideas and plot hooks, some brainstorming... and of course to write long-winded posts. :P

Welcome to the forum Jim!

Welcome aboard, guys!

What the two esteemed gentlemen (or the kangaroo and the esteemed gentleman) said. :p As for the 2k13 campaign - who do I have to promise my left nut to in order to get in? :D

Well, guess I better jump on in!

I'm comped. If you wonder, I'm in the eastern half on the US. High school student (currently). Mostly I'm focused on theater/play writing, but I've read a fair bit of the t2k/2013 modules/core books. I have several ideas for source books jumping around in me head, which I will find time to write down and share. Never ever played t2k/2013 though.

comped

I quickly dropped DnD for the 1st T2K. I'm currently trying to use V2.2 and the civvy careers and gear from T2K13. I've known of Paul Mulcahy's site for ever. My idea was to have a military campaign and "Homefront" featuring a NG unit abroad and thier families back home. I'm trying to find the many scattered notes.....;)

great idea - cant wait to see more posts from you

I thought that the Mexican drive towards Arkansas and Louisiana allowed the U.S. characters combat experience.

Welcome to the forum, .45cultist :D

I assume you mean US characters that never went to Europe, Korea, Kenya or the RDF?

If so they could earn it for the fighting in Texas, AZ, CA and Alaska as well - so you could draw them from quite a lot of areas in the US and have them be combat veterans just from the fighting here.

I forgot to add 5TH ID(M) dependents, which puts the closest front in Texas. If one uses a later timeline, the PC's could be retired T2K era soldiers.

Hey everyone, thought I would say hi.
Bit of a background, played back in the day v1 & v2 now looking to get back in to gaming. I was on the T:2013 board (went under the handle: Kilt & Jump boots)
Real life stuff: work in a woodworking store (one of the other hobbies) and the other job is TV production work (camera operator)
I'm also an reenactor 1630 Scottish and also WW2 US airborne.
I see I can find some of the NPC ideas that I posted on the T2013 board and repost them here.

later.

Hello all, I am a new member but a long time lurker. A bit of a background; I have play version 2.2 but also a little 1.0. I hope that I can contribute to this great community. Real life; High school student, avid PC gamer (total war series, Civilization series, Minecraft). Anyway I hope that I can help contribute to this great community and I hope to see you all around on the site!.

I remember you from the TWL 2013 forum... welcome!!

I hope that's a good thing.

well played 2000 starting about 86 till around 96
found my old books a month ago or so
found out about 2013 and have found the core rules and addendum looking too start a 2013 game soon

For the new members there are several Twilight 2000 games going on online that you could join. I know of at least two myself and there are lots of others. If you are interested I bet you would find several opportunities to put your skills to good use.

Thought that I would say Hi as I am new here. I spent twenty years in the Army due to needs of the Army had the chance to try different jobs, but spent most of the last half as 89D. Currently work as a FLEO. Never played TW2000 much but love the setting.

Great welcome aborad

what a FLEO? a google fu is as good as it used be :(

89D is EOD right?

89D is EOD, FLEO Federal Law Enforcement Officer.

Hello, new member from Switzerland. Long time role player (AD&D, Shadowrun and other) but my sole experience with TW2K is the computer game I found some years ago. Bought some books from the V.1 and must have a PDF from TW2013 (somewhere). Kind of prefer the original setting as it suits my childhood memories of the 80's. My background : I used to be deployed for peacekeeping operations in the Balkans and Africa as a LEO and for the (Swiss) army.

Welcome to the forum, Kaeso. You're our first Swiss member. Be prepared for lots of questions!

Thanks ! Well I will be more than glad to answer. I noticed that Cyclist units were discussed and Switzerland had cyclist battalions back then. We disbanded our Dragoons (Shock infantry on horseback) in 1972 and we still have packhorse units. :)
