That is a lot of great info, Dragoon500.
Something I would like to add to the mix. Something I have seen in games I have played or ran.
The shoebox.
In a lot of games, the GM allowed each player to bring something from "the past" into the game. It MUST fit into a shoebox.
I have seen all KINDS of strange memorabilia, odd knick-knacks, or thought out survival items. Some examples I have seen.
One guy's family actual owned a World Series championship ring from the 1969 Mets. It was in his shoebox.
Small fishing gear. Line, hooks, weights, bobbers, etc.
.22 revolver with 150 rounds of .22LR
Pipe, tobacco, lighter, pipe cleaners, etc. (one of my characters)
1 Pint of single malt scotch (now 150 years older)
OLD Family Bible (Names back to 1620's)
String of pearls from Great Grand Mother
St. Jude Medals
High School Class Ring
Football
Frisbee
Boy Scout compass
Car keys from first car
one guy went so far as to have some strands of hair from different family members.
It does pose an interesting question. What would YOU bring if you were part of TMP?
My $0.02
Mike
