Browncoat here as well, Spam.  I will walk in to a bar, filled with the Alliance, on Unification Day just to start trouble.  I am also a Graycoat.  I have been a Confederate Reenactor for 30 years.

"Hi.  Are you the Rebel Scum I heard about?"



Yep that is me.  I have done infantry, artillery, and cavalry.  I was a Captain and Chief of Scouts for awhile for Colonel Sam Lynn of the 4th NC.  He also portrayed General Robert E. Lee for awhile.  Currently I am part of Adam's Battery of the 13th North Carolina Light Artillery and an associate with Co. D 1st North Carolina Cavalry.  I do portray a member of the 3rd US Artillery on occasions.  When I was in the Cavalry originally I was a whole lot thinner back then.

If anyone wants to geek out with one of the best fan flicks made so far, I recommend I.M.P.S. The Relentless.  There are currently two chapters released, each about 20 minutes long.  The third chapter is currently overdue.  No idea where they are at on it.

And if you are a fan of the anime style, check out The TIE Fighter Wars.

With all of us nerds, when is the CAPtalk play by text RPG game going to start?
With all the advances in gaming tech recently, there is no reason to play by text.

You going to DM?  >:D

Neither.  They have their own dice.  And I checked.  There is a script for EotE on Roll20.

I knew about TROOPS and IMPS but not the last one. Very cool and the Macross saga anime style is just great.

Buying some new BBDU's.  But not for CAP.  These are the two new costumes I am working on.

I'm a sad little human being. I read my drill manual in my spare time. Or read my leadership book. Or read regulations. Or research NCSA's... Yup, Nerd Extreme. (Goes back to reading drill manual)

Caponly. Sorry. That's not being a nerd. That's just being a good member of CAP.

TheGooseLover

Oh. Than I fail at being a nerd :(... Wait, does learning C++ and JavaScript in my spare time, along with making multiple games count?

Possibly.  But we would have to play test them to verify your status as a nerd.  Remember.  Nerd is the new cool.  And not everyone can pull it off. :)

Sweet, I'll try to get a copy out... Say, this seems like trying to verify you can read a map for GTM3!

Let me know if you start a game, I'm interested in trying out this system. Already have a character concept just need to build it.
