If you are a fan of Warhammer 40,000 or Age of Sigmar, let me know. Maybe we can put together an RP. I play Ironjawz & Kruleboyz in AOS and Salamanders & Drukhari in 40K.

Bio

I am a veteran of the United States Army and the US Army National Guard. I spent three years on Active Duty serving in the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized) at Ft. Carson, CO, and the 3rd Armor Division at Kirch Göns, West Germany. I spent 18 years in the Army National Guard with the 26th Infantry Division "Yankee" and 29th Infantry Division (Light), "The Blue and the Gray". I was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina with the 29th ID (L) in 2001 - 2002. I have also been reading military history articles and books since I was 10 years old. I do prefer Military Role Plays over all other genres, primarily because I have a vast knowledge of the subject including personal experiences. At the very least, my characters are always veterans.

I have been writing for pleasure for at least 35+ years but only got into forum-based Role Playing about eighteen years ago. I do enjoy Nation Role Plays and get into minute detail when designing my military. The only reason I enjoy excruciating detail in my militaries is because for me, it is fun. My education and experience on this subject afford me the insight to see the depth of the structure. It is not just a General and a large pile of soldiers. If someone wants assistance in designing an army, navy, or air force, please send me a PM. I will help. Please specify what level (echelon) or depth you would like me to go. When I say echelon, I mean Army, Corps, Division, Brigade/Regiment, Battalion/Squadron, Company/Troop/Battery, Platoon, and Squad/Section.

When I was a student in High School, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons. Recently, I have been DMing a 5e campaign of my creation for my son and his friends. 5e is so much less cumbersome than earlier editions of D&D. I do have an interest in Tolkien-esque fantasy-styled Role Plays as well. Time travel has always been a fun genre for me, but to do it well, one must have a firm grasp of historical facts.

There are only a few fanfictions I will participate in; Star Wars and Star Trek are two of them. I want to do an exclusively Klingon RP one of these days. I also avoid Canon characters.

I have real-world martial arts experience. I would love to write an RP about hand-to-hand combat, no fantasy magic chit, just hands elbows, knees, and feet. Maybe the occasional head butt thrown in to mix things up. I trained in Krav Maga for six and a half years. I earned a first-degree black belt in Krav Maga on 3 June 2017.

Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art form that employs practical self-defense techniques drawing forms & techniques from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwando. It is very brutal, demanding, and aggressive. During the seven years I trained, I have bruised two ribs, sustained several muscle pulls, and various lacerations and bruises over my body. I have received a sprained ankle and a fractured wrist. Before the first black belt test, I received a bone bruise to my right shin; where my roundhouse kicks impact. Yet, I am stupid enough to continue training. [Regardless of the physical pain, it is more fun than any other physical activity I have engaged in. Fortunately, the bone bruise healed up prior to the third and final test. EDIT: I did leave the sport over five years ago. :(]

Over two years ago I completed my first novel, a science fiction set in the 24th century. It focuses on a Private Military Corporation solely employed by the earth government. I started a second book in November 2022 and hope to work on that this summer when I have more time.

Send me a PM for a Role Play or if you would like to see what sort of an army I could build for you.

I have a huge vinyl collection of everything ranging from Michael Jackson to Machine Head.


Sweet! I don't collect vinyl any longer. I bought my first LP when I was 14. It was Queen's "News of the World". In the 1980s, I bought cassettes and in the 1990s, CDs.

@Gunther Dude, I looked up gameplay footage of that. It is sick! Hell of alot more intense that COD could ever be!


If you would like to join a clan that operates according to Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) employed by US Army Infantry units, let me know. We have about a dozen veterans; one USMC and the rest US Army. We have a 20 person private server we use for training and a 100 person public server. We train on TTPs all the time. The Force on Force shit is very fun. WE have one planned for Saturday; a Mechanized Infantry squad v. a light infantry squad in a hardened strong point defense.

EDIT: Minimum age is 17.
I kind of hope someone posts. @Landain? @Andreyich? How's it going?

Gacias, @Xandrya. Gina es mi favorita.

I play a game called Squad by Offworld Industries. Anyone else?
This is a first person shooter that requires you to be part of a nine-man squad and use teamwork to succeed.
I would like to see Mortal Kombat. Someone told me it was not that good.
Yo, remember back on the boogie when cats use to harmonize like...

@Gravity BounceFrom what I read, if you were a fan of the game in the 1990s, you would be a fan of the movie. I did play the game in the 1990s and enjoyed it from time to time. I really want to see this movie. I am also a fan of martial arts flicks and spent 6.5 years training. I hope it is not that bad. I will watch it eventually. My son wants to see it too. He is 14. The only thing we would be concerned with is if there are any nude scenes.
