That's when your character makes the heroic sacrifice the other player's figured you'd agree on.

I'm not a fan of skype/video gaming, but I'm in MA myself, and might be up for some ftf gaming

I once ran a similar scenario ftf with new players who didn't know what happened to the 5th. I had them acting as platoon and squad commanders for the week leading up to the final battle. The look on their faces as NPCs they had come to know (we had played a number of sessions) died in vast numbers was a picture!

I can only imagine...

Well you've sold me, I'm in!

So I bought the Stage I rules for T2013 the other day (I'm cheap, it was $5, what are you gonna do?), and I like it.

How would the interested parties feel about putting Reflex through the paces? I can admit that I don't have any experience with it, but hey, Stage I is pretty simple, and this is the perfect learning experience for all of us.

Reflex should allow us for some quick 'n brutal firefights, which pretty much fits into the loose story I was writing for the one-shot. Not having the core rulebook I will certainly have to fudge some things, but this is one night, what can go wrong?

Thoughts? Comments?

I'm ok with giving it a shot.

To the (brave) few that were interested, can you shoot a PM my way? Then I can share all the information needed to connect to the game.

Sadly, I am going to bail out.

If you would be running the game somewhere like RPol, I'd be up for it. Can't really do VoIP or skype and irc would require too much time for now. Got some experience on the Reflex-system too.

That might not be much of a problem, as RL is flexing its muscles for me currently. I'm switching gears at work, and spending my mornings volunteering at a summer day camp (kids have more energy than I ever did). I'm exhausted by quittin' time.

I might hold things in reserve and let them slowly build up for next year, the 30th anniversary of v1 T2k!

@Medic: I've been battling with myself over running a T2k game on RPOL ever since I got an account. Maybe I just need to buck-up and go in!
