The joy of surviving

[General Pain]

bodyarmor is allmost allways better than movability...

the rule is ...it's more fun for the gm to spray bullets against your character and hit...than to not hit...so get those old armors up ....

He looks like a robot out of a 1950s sci-fi B-movie.

That's quite possible. "Repeating" rifles had only been around as standard issue for a short period at the time of the Great War. Flintlocks, while completely unsuited to the "modern" battlefield, would probably have still been quite common in civilian hands.

To me, it looks like a wooden equivalent of a "rubber ducky."

Photography hadn't been invented in 1818. According to Wikipedia "Louis Daguerre took the first ever photo of a person in 1839 when, while taking a daguerreotype (early type of photograph) of a Paris street, a pedestrian stopped for a shoe shine, long enough to be captured by the long exposure (several minutes)".

I have to say the gun looks more like a percussion lock than flintlock.

I was thinking that during the crisis of WWI when the Brewster Body Shield was developed... they used various weapons to test AGAINST the armor and maybe one of them was an old flintlock rifle.

Glad to hear you say it .

As for GP - didnt he end up with "a medieval royalty" amount of kids ?

I think I recall there were 17 heirs apparent ,not counting unrecognized claims ?

Oh well,thats all in the past .There is trouble in most families.Not civil war with 3 different factions that hate eachother and try to kill eachother fielding armies with artillery and shock troops ,but then again every family has its own way of relating to eachother.

Damnit... that was suppose to be our secret...

But now its out in the open...

General Pain is my daddy!!
