I found this kayak at a thrift store for $50 so I am now building sponsons for it, that way the dolphins cant flip it over when i'm in little bay, they like to play rough.
anyway other than that I am working on 86'ed the decent,
it's a game I created on the fly using
squirmydad 's troopers and aliens, also
christopher Roe 's gun crawl tiles. of coarse I had to hot-rod them all heavily to make the game the way I wanted but in the end the rules are all mine and the game play is unique, however all the assets are all still their stuff (at least the base level anyway). I play it with some friends we have a blast and I would love to share it all here but like I said it's not really my stuff so it would require permissions from the originators, and I don't really feel like bugging them about it LOL ! I feel like I have posted some of the stuff here before?
give a shout out if any of this sounds familiar ?
this is the opening that the players read when they start the game for the first time.
Blindfolded and Placed in the back of an armored transport. This is not how the commander thought this mission was going to go. The contact Yoshihiro Miamatsu from the Batsumitsomo corporation had sounded so urgent over the phone and had said many things but all the commander remembered “save the data” and “Money is no object!” he had hung up the phone with a smile. The next call, only three words “lieutenant, Suit up.” Now the whole team stuffed into a troop transport, blindfolded and heading to, who knows where? It seemed like hours as they bumped and jostled down what must have been old dirt roads and hidden paths.
“how much longer” the commander asked into the chamber of the Transport not knowing if there would be an answer.
“not far now” came the familiar voice of Yoshihiro
True to his word, a few minutes later the transport ground to a halt the commander and team clambered out of the back and the blindfolds were removed. After a few moments of adjusting to the light the commander saw they were standing in and empty filed with a loan sapling growing in the middle at the base of a mountain range. The forests in the distance were all conifers and there was snow on the peaks in July. There are only 7 mountain ranges in the world, only three of them have these kind of features and only one that they could reach after a flight of 13 hours and 40 minutes and a drive of 3 hours and 17 minutes. The Commander looked over to Yoshihiro and smiled
“aren’t you going to welcome me to the Moma Mountains, Comrade Yoshi? Based on the abundant flora around here I would say were probably less than 3 miles from the Indigirka River and 25 miles east of Khonuu Sakha Republic. Am I right? or should I say ‘ya prav?”
The commander enjoyed watching the Tall man squirm. “you are a most observant Commander; I hope for us all that it serves us well.” At that point a bigger truck than the transport came rumbling up.
After the dust settled a few Russian men jumped out of the cab and ran to the back that opened the stainless steel doors with a hiss of fresh cool air. The men Jumped into the truck and started unloading weapons and gear. The commander made a gesture to the lieutenant and the team started gearing up. A short elderly Asian man stepped down the ramp and everyone stepped aside for him.
Yoshi bowed low to him and said “Commander may I introduce to you …” the commander cut him off.
“Hiroshi Kobaitani” the commander said holding his hand out. “The Director and C.E.O. of Batsumitsomo”
“Well done commander” Hiroshi said, “you have done your homework it seems.”
“thank you sir, not to be to blunt, but we are soldiers, and we like to get right to it. What exactly are we dealing with here?”
The two men glanced nervously at one another, “well commander, to be plain we have a situation.” Yoshi began, “as you know Batsumitsomo is the leading defense company for Japan, we have been working on a new Project, an Urban armored suit that will enhance the ability of the soldier waring it. Unfortunately, the suit is not compatible with the typical Human metabolism, and test subjects found themselves exhausted to the point of unconsciousness in less than an hour. Here in one of our most secret laboratories we have been working on a chemical base to make the Suites more compatible.”
The Commander interjected “is this the Batsum’s Advanced Distribution Guidance Urban Yielding System that I have been hearing about?”
Yoshi and Hiroshi look at one another with a shocked glance “you are unusually informed commander; I suppose It would do me no good to ask how you heard of this project” Hiroshi said looking to Yoshi with a sternly
“a magician never spoils their tricks” the commander said with an off smile. “
“well,” Yoshi said clearing his throat “as of 5 days ago the facility went dark and the automated defense systems have been activated. We can’t get anyone in or out without inflicting casualties. Commander there are over a thousand people in this facility, our biggest concern and your first priority is to rescue the Moma personnel and secondly to secure any data from the project.”
“So you need us to get past the security system, save the people and the project, Got it.”
With that the commander walked over to a crate that had the command insignia on it and using his hand print and retina scan the crate opened with a pop. Pulling the lid back further the commander began gearing up.
“what can you tell me about the auto defenses gentlemen?”
Yoshi looked to Hiroshi who nodded and then began checking his cell phone texting to someone.
“he gets good signal out here.” The lieutenant remarked rounding up all the troops and inspecting their gear.
“the director is a busy man, and needs to stay in contact with investors and other interested parties about the situation.”
“you mean run damage control.” The commander said smugly pulling on armor.
“as you say commander damage control, please understand the defenses are considerable commander there is machine gun turrets as well as missile systems. Some of the floor plates have mines in them set to detonate on the slightest pressure once activated. Also there are automatons that are programed to shoot anything that moves in their field of view.”
“you made killer robots?!” the commander said pulling up some guns and inspecting them.
“Please understand we never expected to be using them on ourselves.”
“Well Yoshi this should teach you boys to expect the unexpected.”
If we constantly expect the unexpected then nothing could be unexpected thus creating a paradox” Hiroshi said hanging up his phone.
“well said” the commander strapped on a combat knife. “just one last thing, how do we get in I don’t see a facility here?”
Hiroshi walked over to the loan sapling, pulled a branch that exposed a control panel. After a code, a hand scan, a retinal scan and a voice i.d. the ground began to shake as the field parted and reviled a ramp leading down to a tunnel.
Hiroshi stepped in front of the team and handed the commander a com device “at the end of the tunnel you will find a set of doors the code to get in is 86. This com device will allow you to communicate with us and help us track you through the compound, Good luck commander” with that he stepped aside and the team began their decent.
this is the first mission :
is any of this sounding familiar ? am I crazy? I think i'm crazy? maybe more than usual LOL
