I'm backing Human Contact because I like Shock but wasn't quite willing to re-ante for 1.1 and 1.2 after buying 1.0.

I'm curious about the Quarantine playbook though; I've found the Gunlugger's 2-Armor a little problematic in the two campaigns I've seen him, so I'm a bit agog at the concept of a 3-armor character.

I'm sure it's all fine...

greatwolf:
Is this at all like being a Vault Dweller from the Fallout series?

Nemomeme: Actually oops! My mistake. Military body armor is still worth 2-armor, not 3.

Greatwolf: I don't know! Quarantine is a person emerging from suspended animation, is that what a vault dweller does?

greatwolf:
You...you haven't played Fallout?

*boggles*

In the original Fallout, you play a Vault Dweller. When The War happened, your parents entered one of the Vaults that were supposed to serve as a shelter. Then, the doors were locked.

Time passed.

All you have ever known is life in the Vault. But now the water purification system is dying, so you must venture to the surface to locate a replacement chip. Your experience of the outside world is nil.

Here's the intro for the game, which includes the setup for the game. It'll be worth your 3 minutes.

I like this a lot! Of course I grew up playing The Morrow Project, so I would. In that universe not every frozen soldier was a representative of secular peace, reconstruction and democracy...
