Hello operatives! I think I have one more of these in me this summer. Our last game took 18 days and I suspect this one will take us into the end of summer.
How it works:
Sign up an me know a few things about your character, detailed below.
We will be doing two kinds of signup this time. The first is “Rookie” and the second is “Guest Star”.
Rookies get signed up directly from the rookie pool. They don’t control their exact career path forward, but can choose a specialty they would like to be. No guarantees.
Guest Stars must wait until we are rewarded a soldier or specialist (Reaper, Skirmisher, Templar) and then get assigned that character, bypassing the rookie phase. You must have volunteered in one of my games the last 10 years in order to be a Guest Star. I also reserve the right to put some names on this list if it’s too small.
Both kinds of recruits can use the following template to pick their character traits:
First name, “Nickname”, Last Name
Nationality
Colors or color scheme.
Gender
Keep in mind you can say “random” for any of these if you don’t care.

Gee, off the 'net for a few hours and already missed the signup for the first wave! Which is probably a survival strategy, now that I think about it.
