So what I'm suggesting is an RP inspired by/based on the concept of the RECON RPG(found Here!) developed and published by Palladium games. The concept is based around squad-based tactical operations in a fictionalized version of 20th Century Earth, with the player characters capable of being anything from a Vietnam War MACV-SOG squad, to US Army Special Forces in Europe, to Mercenaries in the Arctic, or any other hypothetical combination of operations.
The two main things I need to know, are what people want to play, and whether the RP should be more narrative-based, or use some altered version of the stats found in the RECON RPG
For setting, the main ones I've thought up are:
1. A squad operating in Vietnam, either from the regular US Army, CIA MACV forces, Southern-aligned Natives, or even NVA/VC forces operating in the jungle.
2. A Mercenary unit, operating in some area of conflict outside of Vietnam, likely Africa, the Middle East, South America, or even Communist Europe.
3. Communist Forces operating in various areas, such as the Soviets in Afghanistan, Revolutionaries in Cuba or South America, or some other situation.
I'm open to other suggestions on setting as well.
The other big question is whether to use any/all rules from RECON itself. I mainly want to know what people think about using the character creation rules, supplementing them with more traditional character sheet elements found on this site, such as a personality and backstory category. I'm also likely to restrict weapon choice to those found in the game rules, possibly supplemented with other 20th century weapons, as needed. I'm open to opinions, suggestions, and general thoughts on this as well.
Well, feel free to let me know what you all think on the matter, or to just stop by and say hello.
