Hello, and welcome to strike force. i would normally open a game with a welcome, but their is a somewhat lengthy intro to this, so i will waste no time.
Intro:
2016. It is a warm, summer night. The Commanding general of the United States army is sitting around a table in the war room of the pentagon with the president and vice president, along with a slue of other advisers and important men. the general is having a meeting with these people, and a very urgent one. he begins the meeting with a grim, yet perky welcome. "Hello everyone, and welcome. as you know, i planned this emergency meeting for no apparent reason, but this reason will become very apparent when i play you this," he clicks a button from his coat pocket and a TV appears on the other side of the war room. people adjust their chairs to see it. it starts off with a video of a tall man with black hair. he has nothing covering his face, and a very worn smile. He begins talking in a thick, Russian accent. "Hello Americans. i am Victor Rendolph, a man of great wealth and power. However, i have urgent business with the president, because he will want to see this," he stops talking and moves back away from the camera, to reveal a man in a chair. he is gagged and looks starving. This man is John Green, a general in the army. Victor then continues talking. "I have a bank account in the Americas. the number is 289647. in that account i need 3 trillion dollars placed by next week, or else you, Mr. president, and all of your friends will be soon in a position like this man." He looks towards the general and pulls out a pistol. he then takes quick aim and shoots the general in the head. he turns back to the camera. "If you do not cooperate, you and all of your fellow men will have the same fate. i have the means and potential of getting it whether you cooperate or not, so i expect payment within the next week. do not try tracking this message, whether you use satellite codes or not, because their will be consequences when you do. That is all i have to say. Good day, my friends."
he then shoots the camera. he must have got a live feed into the pentagon from his camera then shot the messenger. luckily, they must have recorded the message fairly quickly. the general stands up midst the chaos that begins.
"We are not putting 3 trillion dollars into his account, nor or we closing it. we have confirmation of the source of this message without tracking device. it comes from southern Iraq. the account this man has is existent, and somehow has an anonymous owner. Running facial scans, however, proves this man does not exist in the American database, so he could be quite the threat. The fact that he got one of our own generals from under our noses also proves he is deadly and has a network inside our own system. I am afraid their is only one thing we can do about this-" the president cuts him off.
"We send in the Strike Team, Commander," he says.
Character Sheet:
Name: (Realistic, for the sake of this game) Age: (18+) Bio: (optional) Class: (below) ---------------------- Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Weapons: None Equipment: None Inventory: None ---------------------- HP: 50/50 Conditions: Perfect
That sheet isnt to hard to figure out. however, there are some things i must tell you before we continue. your HP does not determine whether or not yo uare dead, but is merely a guide as to your general current health. Also, when you sign up, their will be some things added to your sheet. do not change them or worry about them.
You start this game by picking your class, and you are in. the class yo uare in LOOSELY determines your starting weapon, but not completely. the classes are below. of course, you are part of this assembled strike team to destroy this man.
Classes:
Heavy Assault: A man how is in the front lines with a fully automatic weapon and a goal: kill or get killed. your starting weapon falls between a pistol and an ARX. Light Assault: Assist the Heavy assault, With speed and accuracy in exchange for power. your starting weapon falls between a pistol and an AK-47. Medic: Heal, revive, and so on. self explanatory, you guide the men and heal them to safety. your starting weapons consist of a pistol and your healing laser. Sniper: From a distance, pick off as many men as quickly as you can with deadly precision and damage. your starting weapon is an WA2000. Heavy: Lead the pack, take damage, and deliver pain. You are the juggernaut. this is definitely the hardest class. picking this puts you in the middle of the action with either a heavy shotgun, flamethrower, or grenade launcher.
One concept you have to grasp about this game is that it is extremely dice based. the dice will do the following (and more): Determine your starting weapon based on class Determine all of your actions minus the most oblivious Determine all accuracy, bullets fired in a turn, and damage of them Determine the amount of enemies you face at any given time and their skill Determine LOOSELY certain objectives you will need to complete Determine LOOSELY the size of the the squad you are in Determine LOOSELY the actions of any AI
Keep that in mind, but remember, even with dice, your actions are still 100% of the game. this game is objective based. you will have a squad of men that will lead you through terrorist areas and kill them, but this is not call of duty, this is legitimate missions. However, do not think the story is over or the game takes place in only 1 area, because it doesnt.
the combat is turn and cover based, but you will get the hang of it. i will explain when we get their, but it will take some time before you do.
Well, anyone can join at anytime. i will just assemble a new force. however, if you signed up in the kickstarter you will all be in the same team. once those people have posted, the game will begin. How does it begin? that is determined by dice. (Keep in mind, this game isnt completely random, but is highly influenced by rolls). So have fun and remember, you are part of a team. i also ask for a lot of devotion to being active, so if you can, be that way.
Name: John Connor Age: 24 Bio: John is from an Average family, it means they were normal at money. His father forced him to become a Soldier, but he don't want that. His father died, he think about joining Soldier. So there, he joined being Soldier. Class: Sniper ---------------------- Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Weapons: WA2000 (10/40), M1911 (8/20) Equipment: 1 grenade Inventory: none ---------------------- HP: 50/50 Conditions: Perfect ---------------------- Defects: Slow Movement speed: 2m
Id take an aim to the terrorist. Pulling the trigger with such speed. Id aim again on the head of the terrorist. Shooting it now this time.
Combat Details: The strike Team: Sean 50/50 HP 3 John 50/50 HP, 4 Steven 45/50 HP, Zach 50/50 HP, Tyler 50/50 HP, Jeaven 50/50 HP, Commander 100/100 HP,
2 terrorists alive (20 HP, 5 HP), 2,
Zach idles. Steven idles. The commander's gun jams. "What a day," he says. Jeaven fires 2 shots and misses both. Tyler idles. the next part could prove interesting.
After a successful morale check the terrorist the commander almost killed, with his last breath, pulls the pin a grenade and lobs it towards Sean. Luckily, after everything factors, Sean only takes 3 explosive damage from a terribly thrown grenade. he takes 5 more damage from the pieces of the grenade that pierce his armor slightly. A few more pieces of the grenade hit Tyler for 12 damage.
After that dilemma, John fires an aimed shot at the well terrorist. even with factors he makes a crazy miss. Sean, your grenade launcher reloads itself, but it still takes a turn to reload. You have moved from 15m to 14m away from them. you fire 14 shots of your shotgun while slowly moving forward, 3 of which hit the terrorist that is still in good health. he falls, and combat ends, and you lost a lot of ammo. (2 XP). the other terrorist bleeds out and was the commander's kill.
the commander gets up. "Loot their bodies, galil ammunition is compatible with AK's."

the answer is yes, and you honestly dont have to read anything. you start where the rest of the squad is, but i suggest you read at least the last 2.
You are armed with an AK-47 and an M1911. you have lots of ammo for the AK and lots for the pistol. you have no defects and a movement speed of 2 meters per turn.
You loot one to find 10 rounds of ammo in his weapon. it is not compatible with your ARX. --------------------------------------
To everyone: Out of seemingly nowhere, a man appears named Jerry. He is now part of the team.
The commander gets a radio transmission. he picks up. "Hello General?" he says. he listens to something for awhile then puts it down. "The general says that we need to storm that red tower over there before we could enter the main facility to destroy the defense systems. Were are going to enter, kill any terrorist who opposes, and turn of any system of security they might poses."
He begins walking towards the red tower. When everyone gets to the entrance, he says, "no one is guarding it. i sense a formidable trap. Sean, you stay out here and keep guard. they might send reinforcements out of the main building now that they have heard gunfire or they may be hiding in the shadows."
He walks into the tower, along with everyone but Sean. Inside, there is a man sitting at a computer with his back turned. to the left and right there are stairways. the commander silently points upward, but he continues moving toward the man.
Name: Sean Deane Age: Unknown. (Somewhere in his mid-twenty's.) Bio: (cut) Class: Heavy ---------------------- Level: 1 (5/10 XP) Weapons: Right: heavy shotgun (15/30 R10m), Left: Grenade Launcher (1/19, R20) Equipment: Rocket boosters for 30m Inventory: 15 rounds of AK-47 ---------------------- HP: 27/50 Conditions: Perfect ---------------------- Defects: Slow 3 Movement speed: 1m
Before everybody enters the tower I raise the ammo I found indicating if anybody wants the ammo.
I then move into the tower and move to the side of it. I crouch down and level my shotgun at the doorway, ready to fire on anybody who decides to come in.
