Hello fair people of the interwebs! As I write this my group is working out how the system and it's pretty rough. We're hoping it gets easier as we move on.

Welcome to the forum, SGTDan. Which system are you working with?

2.2 currently, I forgot to add that I joined to contribute my knowledge and average IQ. That aside one member is having an issue with recoil.

Hello everyone!

I'm Max; I'm a big fan of gaming (board games and RPGs); and allthough I only have a very limited experience playing T2K (one game of 1st Edition back in the mid 80s; and more recently running a d6 version of the game); I've been familiar with the game for a long time.

While in the home games I ran I used the d6 system (at the time I only had the 1st Edition; I have since acquired the 2nd edition and I'm interested in trying it out at some point int he future) and I also modified the timeline and storyline a little bit.....for example; I had no war between the USSR and China; instead I had them ally with each other; but that's another story!

Anyway; I'm glad to have found this site and in particular; I like to read about the actual game sessions and campaigns that people have played/are playing.

Thanks for running a great site and I'm happy to have found it!

Welcome to the forum, Max. We have years of archived discussions that can be accessed via the forum map, and you can always jump into current discussions. Let us know if you need help finding anything. Cheers.

Hi Folks,

I've been playing T2K off and on since it first came out in 85. I recognize a number of names her from various old forums (like the old Web RPG Town Hall) and Yahoo mailing lists. I hope to get ideas and inspiration for various PA scenerios.

Hi,
Just got hold of the PDF's of the T2K books. I only got to play a couple of a long time ago but always liked the setting. Played a lot of other games D&D, shadowrun, the terrible but easily accesable Palladium games, Cyberspace, Aliens, Dragon Warriors the list gets a little out of hand. But that happens when you play RPG's for years.

Liking alot of what I've had time to see on the forum so far.

Greetings all!
Been playing RPG’s since ’79, and I’ve always had a warm fuzzy spot for T2K. Just recently the nostalgia bug hit me and I rekindled my affection for this game. I got into the 2nd edition, but I have the 1st Edition modules and source material. I’m just about to start a campaign using the whole 1st edition “Vistula Epic” [Free City of Krakow, Pirates of the Vistula, Ruins of Warsaw, Black Madonna, & Going Home]. Hope to hit you up for some tips, and if my game kicks off, I’ll post some updates.
Till then, take care everyone!
:D

Greetings from the Civgov heartland,
While I'm not a new member per se, I thought since its been so long I needed to reintroduce myself. I'm shrike6 or you can call me Brian. I've played Twilight on and off since the late 80s and was a part of the WebRPG forums back in the day. I've also played Dark Conspiracy, D&D and have played other games too. I like military history and am responsible for a handful of pieces in the archives of this forum.

Welcome back, Shrike6. And welcome to new members Socom242, Helak, and SionEwig.

Hi all,

I'm new here but not to Twilight. It was the second game I ever ran (back when I was 13) back in 1994, managed to pick up V2.0.

Now I have gotten hold of the PDF release from RPG Now and found this community again after lurking here a few years back. Thought I should introduce myself, and try and find any fellow Brits here too.

Howdy. I came across this site after a google search of TW2k. It came up as we were discussing post-apocalyptic games. I have great love for this setting. When I first saw the original box in the game store, I nearly wet myself with excitement. Unfortunately my friends didn't share my enthusiasm. That didn't stop me from pouncing on the 2e book when it came out. I did get to play that version a few times, mostly in a play by post format. I'm really itching to play some more. I figured this nice little site would be a good place to get started.

Good to have you aboard, MiB. Johnny Cash fan? I approve :D

I do like his style. Actually though, I named myself for the mythical government agent. I used a picture of Homer Simpson when he was Mayor Quimby's bodyguard as my avatar at my gaming site. As a joke I replaced it with Frank the dog from the Men in Black movies and it took on a life of its own. Most people who know me on the site refer to me as Pugs.

Hi, i am new to Twilight but have never played the game (despite my attempts to find it in my country) but have been fascinated by everything related, especially Twilight 2300. I hope that i can learn a lot by just being here.

Roel great to see you here!! Always love seeing a fellow ShatteredWorld Alumni come onto this board.

Hope you enjoy yourself and love to see your opinions on any postings about how the Dutch fared in the Twilight War and in 2300AD.

Thanks Olefin. Will do my best to contribute my limit knowledge of the Netherlands to the forum.

By all means please let me kow any errors in my work.

Off course i will do my best to correct anything if i ever spot it.

New player here myself - have played in a couple of games myself and have started in another at RPOL.net.

Have 2.2 and also Merc2000; would like to go a game in the latter at some point, but not ATM.

Hey silent hunter (welcome), are you on Harpgamer?

Yes, I'm a member there.

Since I've been away for a while, I suppose I need to introduce myself to the FNGs that have arrived after me. ;)

Medic (both here and in real life, Finnish Army Reserves), the babbling Finn, who will not shut up, if there's a Finnish point of view to the subject (or a possibility to bring one in to the discussion).

And to those who know me, well, I've been multiplying. Our baby girl is now 20-months old and her baby brother six weeks. The latter one is a whopper - currently 6,49kg/14.5lbs and 60,5cm/2'.

Long time lurker. Registered awhile back but never posted (life tends to get in the way). This site has been a weekly stop for me. You guys are awesome!

Long story short: I come from a military family save for my old man, LOVED v.1 back in the day, always wanted to serve, unable to get into USMC OBC after college (high standards+wayward youth=no soup for you), joined the NG in an unnamed midwestern state in a misguided fit of patriotism after 9/11, ended up doing a ton of DOMOPS (post-Katrina, post-Gustav, lots of stuff in my tornado prone state) plus a very interesting tour in HOA and now after, after completing resident CGSC and getting a very interesting occasional AGR tour, I've made a semi-career of it.

Introduced my sons to boardgames, strategy games (Axis and Allies, Mem. 44) at a young age, which led, to my wife's chagrin, to D&D. Told them a few years back about an RPG which was "Army, but after the apocalypse". Now that they are teens and we have watched Red Dawn, Black Hawk Down, The Last Ship, The Day After, By Dawn's Early Light, and Jericho, I recently started a modified V.1 campaign set in 2030. They love it. I've stolen a great deal from the ideas on this web site so now I need to give what little I can back. I hope I can contribute.

Glad to see both the old and new faces.

I always worry during spring when internet traffic in general is down, but this one seems different.

Thanks Kato, appreciate the welcome! You guys do a great job!

Yes, welcome to our new and returning members.

Welcome to the forum, Lt. Ox.

Welcome to the forum LT. Ox, it's great to see that there is still interest in this game and also that former gamers are still interested in gaming ('specially if they can bring some of the newer crowd into older games!).

Welcome to the forum - look forward to hearing your tales of the early days of the system.

Welcome aboard Lt. OX from a fellow Red Leg turned LE.

Welcome, swaghauler!

Newbie to Twilight 2000 here; starting with 2.2 (the only edition younger than I am, and not by a whole lot).

I had some Traveller experience from a few years back (never got a chance to run it—my group wussed out at the thought of calculus—or play it because I'm the forever referee of my group).

One of my brother's professors actually recommended Twilight 2000, and that was enough to revive my interest in it, especially considering that it's a refreshing change of pace from the shallow cyberpunk/fantasy that my group tends to prefer.
