Children during T2k...
How many people use kids as NPCs during their campaigns?
One of the campaigns that we did, one of our guides when we got to the Free City of Krakow was a 16 year old Polish girl who's dad had been a professor at one of the unversities who fell out of favor with the Soviets (he had actually said that the Poles should have done the same thing the East Germans were doing and kick the Soviets out so that Poland could handle their own internal affairs and not send troops to fight an imperialistic war against China). The GM based her off one of the girls from Red Dawn, and she was always giving little gifts to one of the PCs she had a 'chrush' on... In fact she was the one who provided our group at that time with the "Going Home" message. Poor girl was in tears and didn't want to tell us what it was, when she finally told us... we promised to take us back with us as a dependent.

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
