This is the recruiting thread for the upcoming second wind of Seltsame Insel, a semi magical WW2 themed game.

Spoiler: Setting (click to show/hide)

This game takes place on an impossibly large island in the middle of the Atlantic. The nazis control it, and as such, we must take it. The year is 1944.

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

The game runs off of a modified RTD die system. I will roll two d-6, one for opposition and one for the player action. During the initial invasion, I will only roll one d-6 for survival. After the initial invasion, I'll move to the 2d-6 system.
   The health system is chunky salsa, like the one from Grunts.
   For ambient magical effects I'll roll a d-10000 and use the Net Libram of Random Magical Effects.
   There will be many, many status effects that will be discovered over the course of the invasions.

   The credits for each mission completed is split between the officers and enlisted 10%-5% respectively. These credits are to be used as the players see fit. The mission credit count starts at a predetermined number. Every turn that an action is performed that requires credits, the usage cost is subtracted from the mission total.

Werty, I suggest you make your medkit the free equipment. It's three times the cost of your radio.

Give the Accuracy buff a specific medium. For example +1 to hit melee strikes with improvised weapons or +1 to hit shots from long rifles.

Apply the same change to accuracy buff as Werty.
Give the engineering buff a medium as well.
Also, the frags aren't counted in your inventory. You just spend their use cost in battle to throw one.

Otherwise accepted.

YES! I'M GIVING IT ANOTHER SWING!

As from last game's evidences, your quick reflexes are gonna need a debuff. I'm not sure how to do so without crippling you, so If you could come up with something, that's be great.

For the balanced luck, it seems to me to be a little too OP. Give yourself some debuffs for it, or get a new perk.

As with PirateJoe, you do not need to list grenades in your inventory.

Otherwise accepted.

Upon completion of the above mentioned changes, all are accepted.

[Glass]

Are the new alterations enough?

[Sosoku234]

Yes.

That perk is pretty OP. Add a medium to it, like +1 turn added to bleedout counter. That or replace it.

You can also buy more than what you currently have, though if you don't want to, that's fine.

Otherwise, accepted.

I've increased my equipment slightly. I'm just (overly) concerned with running out of "ammo". I've also changed up my perk.

I've increased my equipment slightly. I'm just (overly) concerned with running out of "ammo". I've also changed up my perk.

Perk looks good, now. Just say something along the lines of 'I brace my weapon on the thing.' in your action.

As far as 'ammo' goes, the cost is taken from the total amount of credits gained for that skirmish/mission, to which I will apply an arbitrary number to. What your credits are for is buying new weapons after you a) tire of your current loadout, b) have your weapon destroyed in combat, or c) legitimately lose your weapon, i.e. after being thrown by the blast wave of an explosive.

Also, the grenade doesn't need to be listed in your inventory.

[Glass]

What does the poll mean? Is that “how many people should we have before invading the beach”, or “how many people should be chosen as the main group when we finish with the beach”?

[Sosoku234]

Before we start. I'll change that.

[Kashyyk]

If that's the case I would also like to add a STEN to my equipment.
