The character you create is a sort of alter ego, an imaginary person controlled by you. Each character has six ability scores: Strength, I.Q, Agility, Personality, Stamina, Health and Money. Throughout this book the following abbreviations are used: Strength -- SR; I.Q -- IQ; Agility -- AG; Personality -- PR; Stamina -- ST; Health -- HE; Money -- MO. DETERMINING ABILITY SCORES Lets discuss how to generate the ability scores. The numbers that pertain to the ability scores range between 2 and 24. These numbers are obtained by rolling two twelve sided dice and adding them. There is, however, an exception. Health is determined by rolling five six sided dice and adding them. Money is found by rolling 1d20. A roll of one to nine indicates you start with one to nine hundred dollars. A roll of ten to twenty indicates 1000 to 2000 dollars. So a roll of sixteen would be 1600. All money is measured in dollars. THE ABILITY SCORES All seven of the abilities are described below. Each description gives an idea of what that ability represents. Special game effects are also listed. At the end of each description is a table giving all the modifications and other information. STRENGTH Strength measures a characters endurance and stamina. A high Strength score indicates that a character can lift a great amount of weight and has a better chance "To Hit" another person. The rest of this section consists of descriptions pertaining to the columns listed in Table 1. Look back at Table 1 as you read. Hit Probability adjustments are added or subtracted from the number needed "To Hit". To see if you hit a person you would roll 1d20 and cross-reference that number to Table 2. When a plus occurs you would add it to your initial 1d20 roll. If the 1d20 number matches or exceeds the given matrix, you have hit whatever you have aimed at. All penalties apply the same way. The numbers down the columns of Table 2 indicate the level. Weight Allowance is the weight (in Kilograms) that the character can lift without being slowed. For every Kilogram over the initial allotment will reduce movement by 10 Meters. Movement is the number of meters a character can move. In this particular game each square equals 10 meters (m). For example, a character with 7 Strength can move 6 units or 60 meters. Table 1: Strength Score "To Hit" Adj. Weight All.

The attacker must use the attacker side of the table and visa versa. For example, If the attacker (using the attacker side of the table) is tenth level and he is attacking a third level character he must roll a four or higher "To Hit" that person. when the attacker is done then he moves to the defender side of the table is the third level character is going to attack, he would need a eighteen minimum "To Hit" him. I.Q I.Q measures a characters reasoning, memory and learning ability. I.Q determines how many languages a character can learn. Table 3 shows how many languages a character can learn. Number of Languages lists the number of languages a specific character can learn. Every character can speak the full English language no matter what his intelligence. The English language does not count as one language. Table 3: I.Q Score Number of Languages 2 0 3 0 4 0 5 0 6 0 7 0 8 0 9 1 10 1 11 1 12 1 13 2 14 2 15 2 16 2 17 3 18 3 19 3 20 3 21 4 22 4 23 4 24 5 AGILITY Agility measures a characters dexterity, hand-eye coordination and reflexes. The Agility score also determines if you are harder "To Hit" than normal. If you have a high Agility score that you are quick and coordinated. On the other hand, if you have a low Agility score you are slow and clumsy. Defensive Adjustment is adjustment on your "To Hit" score. On the following table getting a negative adjustment is better than a positive adjustment because the adjustment is either added or subtracted from your "To Hit" roll. Table 4: Agility Score Defensive Adjustment 2 +3 3 +2 4-5 +1 6-7 Normal 8-9 Normal 10 Normal 11 -1 12-16 -1 17-21 -2 22-23 -2 24 -3 PERSONALITY Personality measures a characters persuasiveness and ability to lead. The Personality ability really has no adjustments. It determines if a person is willing to talk or converse. To determine if a person will talk, you must roll 2d12. If the number is below your current score, the person will talk. Another roll (2d12) will determine if the person is telling the truth. Other variables will be included such as if a person is at gunpoint they will talk, but you will still have to make a truth roll. STAMINA A characters stamina measures fitness, health and physique. A high Stamina roll makes the character tougher and harder to defeat. Health Adjustment adjusts the amount of Health (Explained Later) a character has. If a high score is rolled, your health score will be increased, if a low score is rolled your health score will reduced. Table 5: Stamina Score Health Adjustment 2 -4 3 -3 4 -2 5 -1 6 -1 7 0 8 0 9 0 10 0 11 +1 12 +1 13 +2 14 +2 15 +3 16 +3 17 +4 18 +4 19 +5 20 +5 21 +6 22 +6 23 +7 24 +8 HEALTH See "Determining Ability Scores" on Page 1 MONEY See "Determining Ability Scores" on Page 1 PROFICIENCIES Proficiencies are skills a character can specialize in. A full list of skills are found below. Each starting character begins with three Proficiencies. Acrobatics Gunning Stealth Nuclear Design Gun Repair Gun Design Assassination Robotics Electronics Programming Ninjitsu Dodging Weapon Pyrotechnics Demolitions Blindfighting Disguise Medical Training Chemistry Rope use Mining Swimming Forgery Gaming Ventriloquism Endurance Navigation Acrobatics: When using the Acrobatics proficiency can perform flips, twists and other maneuvers in the air. If the person using this skill has sufficient rope then the character can use it to their advantage. Gunning: This gives the assurance of knowing how to use any type of gun. You also get a +1 "To Hit" when using a pistol or handgun. Stealth: When using the skill of Stealth you can move silently. Although you have to roll 1d100, if the roll is a 50 or lower you succeed. If it is over fifty you fail. Nuclear Design: You then have the ability to design nuclear bombs with speed and accuracy. You also have the knowledge to actually make a nuclear bomb, if all the materials are on hand. Gun Repair: Having this skill assures that your gun will never jam or break. You also have the ability assemble a gun and unjam other peoples gun. You can, if you want, make a gun jam on purpose. Gun Design: This gives the ability to design and actually build guns from your own design. All building materials must be available. Assassination: Using this skill you have a 50% chance to silent walk, and if successful you have a 5% chance per level that you can backstab for x4 the damage with an assassins dagger. Robotics: This gives the ability to design and build robots of any type. All materials must be available, and at hand. Other tools must be used to build a robot (welders, pliers ect.) Electronics: This skill enables the character to hotwire cars rewire gadgets, and if you have the nuclear design proficiency, you are able to make radio detonators and other electronic devices. Programming: Using this skill enables you to reprogram robots, computers and the such, an I.Q of 12 or more is needed to use this proficiency. Ninjitsu: This is a form of martial arts. When using ninja weapons (like throwing spikes, throwing stars, ect.) you get a +2 "To Hit". You also get a 25% chance to hide in shadows to move in for a backstab (5% per level) that does +1 damage per point of Strength over 14. An assassins dagger is considered a ninja's weapon and has to be used for backstabbing. Dodging: This gives a 25% chance to dodge a pistol or a single shot weapon. Shotguns and Flamethrowers cannot be dodged. Weapon: This gives a +1 "To Hit" on a specialized weapon you choose. Only that weapon gets the bonus. Pyrotechnics: This proficiency is used to create and make fireworks, flares, ect. with the understanding of how they work. The characters Agility and I.Q must equal 24 or higher to prove successful or each item produced will be a dud. Raw materials are needed to make certain items. For example, a character that wants to make a firecracker that person would need Gunpowder. To make a sparkler, the character would need Iron filings or other powdered metals and gunpowder. Demolitions: This is the skill of high explosives. The use of Plastic Explosive and High Explosive is very delicate so the characters Agility, I.Q, and Strength must equal a 38 or higher to prevent a backfire. This skill also gives the ability to refill Mortar shells. NOTE: Raw materials are needed to reshell. Blindfighting: This gives a character a +1 when fighting in the dark.

The character viewing the Disguised character must roll his I.Q or lower at -4 or actually be fooled. Medical Training: Medical training gives the skill to mend wounds that would be fatal. For example: A character with 9 Health is hit for 10 points of Damage but a character with the Medical Training proficiency can mend them so the character hit has 1 health left. If the character hit took 15 damage he would not be mendable for 5 rounds. For every point under zero it takes one round to mend.

Certain protective procedures must be taken to provide maximum control and safety over the explosives. KINDS OF EXPLOSIVES There are 7 types of explosives used in this game. They are Gunpowder, HE (High Explosive), HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank), Tolite, Napalm, TNT, and TH3. Each one is described in detail below. Gunpowder can be bought at almost any gun shop. Gunpowder is ignited by almost any source of heat. The price is $10.00 per pound. The damage is 1d4 per oz. HE or High Explosive is a very common type of explosive material. It is rarely found on the open market, but it can be obtained from any armed forces base or the black market. The price is usually about $1000.00 per pound. The damage is about 6d6. The blast radius is 500 feet2 per pound. NOTE: The black market is a very complex scenario. Please read the section on the black market before playing any game which includes the black market scenario. HEAT or High Explosive Anti Tank material is a semi- common explosive found at Army bases. This explosive usually runs at $4500.00 per pound used. The blast radius is fairly tight, about 5 inches squared. This explosive penetrates tank armour like it's butter. It takes 1 minute to penetrate 10 cm. of armour. And one minute per 5 cm. after the initial 10 cm. Its damage to a human or animal is 10d10 Per round on skin. This is definitely not available on the black market. Tolite is actually a liquid form of TNT. It is very unstable and if it absorbs a mere shake it goes off. The blast radius is 1000 feet per pint of Tolite. The damage is 8d6 per pint. It is frequently available on the black market for about 50,000 per pint. It is not used in the armed forces any more because of instability. Napalm is often used for flamethrower fuel and bombs. If it touches any bare skin it will instantly turn to a sticky gel form and begin burning the skin. The cost is $5000.00 per oz. The damage is 10d8 per oz. on the skin. This damage does not add to the flamethrower damage. TNT or Trinitrotoluene is used for blasting. It comes in four forms: Gel, Liquid, Stick, and Putty. The Stick form is often called "Dynamite". The Liquid is often called Liquid Nitrogen. Nonetheless, They all cost $3000.00 a pound or pint. The blast radius is 150 feet per pound or pint. The damage is 4d6 per pound or pint. TH3 is a form of TNT, but it was processed before being molded. This only comes in putty and gel form. TH3 is often refined for maximum efficiency at a large refinery plant. The damage is 6d6 per pound. The blast radius is 300 feet per pound. This is NEVER found on the black market. DEMOLITION TRIGGERS Often there are traps set that use explosives, so you must be able to identify and disarm the traps. This section describes the most common triggers used for electronic ignition. There are five main types of triggers used in this game: Push-button, Rocker Switch, Potentiometer or Knob, Pressure Switch and Mercury switch. Each one is described below. The push-button is a regular old push-button. With operating weights of 1, 5, 8, and 10 grams. The rocker switch is a good choice for manual work that requires great accuracy. The rocker switch comes in two sizes: 1" and 1.5". Potentiometer or knob setups are usually for cheap and inexpensive explosive setups. It can also be used for an intensity control. Pressure switches are used for things like, when a person opens a door, it sets off some plastic explosive. Operating weight is 5 grams or 12 grams. A mercury switch is used for movement traps. If a mercury switch is tipped it turn on and lets the electricity through. Chapter 5: The Black Market THE BLACK MARKET The black market can be a very tricky place. It is very complex to run and may very well be excluded out of you campaign if you wish it so. The following paragraphs contain extensive information on the black market. The black market should be used only as a last resort. It can be useful for obtaining items not normally obtainable. Some of these items include the F-16 Fighter Jet, Phoenix Missile or even a nuclear warhead. These rules also contain information on how to devise your own custom tailored black market atmosphere. CREATING YOUR OWN BLACK MARKET When you create a black market have a full set of dice ready and on hand. To create your own black market you must fulfill the requirements. The first requirement is the location. CREATING YOUR OWN BLACK MARKET: LOCATION When you choose the scenario for the black market you should aim it towards the theme of the game. If it is an Army type game it could be housed in an abandoned warehouse. Or if it was a spy oriented game, it could be held in the back-room of a bar. CREATING YOUR OWN BLACK MARKET: SHOPS There could be any number of shops in a black market. From 1 to hundreds. The items in a black market that are sold have no set price, so use your best judgement. The items can range from an Abbot Northwestern Travel guide to a ZZ Top Audio tape. You could find a pair of jeans or a discontinued musket shotgun. The possibilities are endless. Have each shop have a shopkeeper. Use a one word description for the personality of the shopkeeper. Determine the sex of the shopkeeper, it can make a large difference in the game. Let the characters bargain a little bit, but if they get pushy have the shopkeeper give a threat. Have a list of the items he sells on hand and their prices. CREATING YOUR OWN BLACK MARKET: SHOPLIFTING There is always going to be a time when a character will want to rip something off. If so, read the following paragraph. When a character is trying to shoplift, consider the surroundings. Is it well guarded, or is sloppy, junk piles with items just laying around. Here is a table to show the percentage of success. You may modify these percentages to fit the circumstances. Table 1: Chance of Success for Shoplifting Circumstance Percentage Not guarded. Messy. 65% Loosely guarded. Semi-Neat. 51% Medium Guard. Neat. 44% Medium-High Guard. Very Neat 40% High Guard. Super Neat. 30% Super-High Guard. No Dirt. 25% Strict Guard. No Dust. 10% Security Control Systems: Type 1 20% Type 2 15% Type 3 10% Type 4 8% Type 5 4% RANDOM BLACK MARKETS Randomly making a black market scene is always a good choice if little time is available or if you just haven't created one before. Each of the following tables should be used for creating a black market, they all include important information about the scenario. However, you must choose the location of the black market scene. Table 2: Number of Shops in Scenario Roll (1d100) Number of Shops 1-10 1 11-20 2 21-30 3 31-45 4 46-60 5 61-70 6 71-80 7 81-100 8 Table 3: Shopkeepers Sex Roll (1d4) Sex 1-3 Male 4 Female Table 4: Shopkeepers Personality Roll (1d10) Personality 1-10 Cocky, Stuck up. 11-21 Suspicious. 22-30 Weird. 31-40 Too many teeth. 41-50 Aware. 51-60 Sad Sight. 61-70 Deadbeat. 71-80 Punk. 81-90 Huh? 91-100 Nice, Friendly.

Chapter 6: Vehicle The types of vehicles in the G.I. rules book are the only types used in this game, at this moment. Variations of these vehicles may be used, and prices may differ from place to place. The subjects covered in this chapter covered are: Custom Vehicles, Vehicle Chases, Engine Modifications, Special Fuels and Turbo-chargers. CUSTOM VEHICLES Custom vehicles may only be purchased through the black market. They can range from a Jet powered three-wheeler to a Go-Cart that runs Nitro-methane. The GM may be harassed on the prices by the players. Set the prices really high then the players will consider if they really want whatever custom vehicle they were going to buy. Also to limit the number of custom buys you could set a delivery time so it takes a while to get their custom vehicles. If they do not pick it up at the delivery point, they lose the car and the money. To the GM: Be reasonable, don't be soft or they'll take advantage of you. Don't be strict, or else they won't want to play the game. TYPES OF FUEL There are many types of fuel. Different fuels can produce different or alternate effects. Such as Nitrous Oxide will make a boost of 20 miles an hour from the current speed, but only a three to six second spurt is safe, any higher dosages can overwork the engine and possibly blow it up. Here is a chart showing the different types of fuel, their effect, and their cost. Type Effect Cost 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Nitrous Oxide +20 mph 500 a tank (10-12) Nitro-methane +15 mph 250 a gallon Liquid Hydrogen +50 mph 1000 a gallon Liquid Flourine +45 mph 950 a gallon Dimethyl Hydrazine +55 mph 1500 a gallon Nitric Acid +55 mph 1500 a gallon Hydrogen Peroxide +50 mph 1000 a gallon Alcohol +10 mph 50 a gallon Methane +15 mph 55 a gallon Ethane +20 mph 65 a gallon VEHICLE CHASES The first thing to talk about is fuel. When a vehicle is bought, it comes with 100 counts of fuel. All vehicles get 25 miles to the gallon. In 2,500 miles they're out of gas, their car quits. In a car chase make sure you keep a fuel count. A gallon of fuel costs 65 cents. In an adventure containing a car chase, have a road map of the area on hand. Trace the car movement with a pencil. When a gun is shot, a -1 "To Hit" penalty is used per 2 feet apart the cars are. If a car was eight feet away, there would be a -4 "To Hit" penalty per bullet shot. If an automatic weapon is used, there is a penalty given for every five bullets shot. Chapter 6:Military Aircraft In this chapter we will discuss the current variables that pertain to todays modern military combat. It will cover Training, Weapons, Specifications and Development. TRAINING To succesfully pilot, a character that's going to be doing the piloting must have the Jet Piloting proficiency. If that character does not know how, there is a 50 percent chance of knowing the basic principles to flying a plane, and the character thats flying the plane must roll a 25 or higher out of 100 or crash, taking 20d10 Damage, plus a 10 percent chance of dismemberment of a body part. This part is chosen by the table below. The loss of body part is permanent. Table 7: Body Dismemberment Table ------------------------------------------------------------- Roll Part 1 Left Arm 2 Right Arm 3 Left Leg 4 Right Leg 5 Half Left Arm 6 Half Right Arm WEAPONS Weaponry on Military Aircraft varies in a wide spectrum of colors, anywhere from a Sidewinder Missle to an armada of laser guided smart bombs. The weapons of each Airplane is fully described in the development part of the specs. One optional rule for this game is, you may not wan't to use nuclear or mass destruction weapons in your campaign because it might ruin the flowing of the games and cut your adventures short. Many mass destruction weapons are often used greedily or stupidly by crazy Hitler-Type Players to destroy millions of people for fun, that is not the purpose of this game, It is to have fun using your imagination to recreat historical events. Use caution when using mass destuction weapons in your campaign, in contrast your campaign may have no trouble using nuclear weapons strategically and responibly. SPECIFICATIONS Here comes the major part of this section, the specifications, there is absolutely no need to memorize all the airplane specs. Mikoyan/Gurevich MiG-15 MiG-15UTI Origin: A.I Mikoyan and M.I Guryvich Type: Advanced pilot and weapons trainer Engine: One 5952lb Klimov VK-1 Turbojet Dimension: Span 33 ft, Length 32 ft 111/4 in. Weight: 10,935lb Performance: 630 mph top speed, 47980 ft cieling, 885 miles cruise range. Armament: One 12.7mm UBK-E Gun(12d10) with 120 rounds or One NS-23(12d12) with 80 rounds, Kovich Piston missle(10d20) with One 12mm cannon(6d6, 2000 rpm) under each wing. Chapter 7: The Game Master In G.I. there is always a person that runs the game. That person is called the Game Master (or GM). The GM plays the parts of all the people the characters meet. For example, if the characters meet a person at a grocery store, the GM would play the part of the grocer. He (or she) would converse with the players (Providing that a Personality roll is made). The GM is also a person that runs encounters. They also run the battles. COMBAT Fighting in the G.I. world is called combat. When a character meets a person, with intent to kill or the person he meets has intent to kill, there are certain procedures that must be followed to assure the fairness of the game. The first thing is roll for initiative. Initiative is used to see who shot their gun first. This is done by having the enemy roll 1d20 and the attacker roll 1d20. The person with the higher roll shoots first. If a gun is shot, find out if it is an automatic weapon. If so consult the alternate attack matrixes on automatic weapons. Then determine the damage. The receiver of the damage them decreases his or hers Health score to the correct amount. Then the person that lost the initiative roll gets to attack. Follow the same procedures as described in the latter paragraph. When a character dies it is important to have a good reason for the characters death. The person playing the character will most likely be mad. To deal with death, have some miracle happen and the character is brought back to life. Don't do this more than one or twice or else the player will depend on you to revive his character every time he dies. If the player has problems with his character pertaining to the ability scores, change them a little bit to fit the characters needs. Some characters just cant do anything right. Then comes Experience. Experience is obtained by defeating an enemy. Experience is determined by adding the enemies total health and maximum damage together. For example, if an enemy has 4 Health and does 1d4+1 damage the person or persons would get a total of 9 Experience. Any weapon the enemy was using and any ammo left is the treasure for the characters. All the weapons found are usable. Any money found on dead enemies is also treasure. Although there is usually not any money on skilled professionals. RUNNING THE ADVENTURE The first thing the GM does when he picks up an adventure is read strait through it. If you don't do that your game is going to be slowed and will not run smoothly. Then when you are ready to play, arrange a game with the other players. Make sure you have a copy of all the players characters before play begins. To begin tell the players the name of the adventure and the levels it encompasses. If any problems occur change the character accordingly. Read the plot to the players and then go on to the first room description. All room descriptions are Italicized. You read the room description and then skim the GM's section and play any encounters found. After all the encounters have been run then tell the players the obvious exits out of that particular room. Follow the map that is included in the adventure booklet. EXPERIENCE All characters should earn experience for victory over their enemies, but there are some modifiers that apply to experience. Lets say, for example, that Private Smith is Tenth level and has a laser guided grenade launcher that shoots fragmentation grenades. He faces a second level Private with a Browning HP 9mm gun with twelve bullets left. This is overwhelmingly unfair to the enemie, so, in turn no experience should be given when defeat comes. That is because it would be very easy to kill a second level Private with a Laser guided fragmentation grenade launcher. In contrast, An eighth level general could have a laser guided M16 with radiation bullets and Private Johnson has a Ingram MAC11 with twelve bullets, set on automatic mode, Private Johnson panics and spreads his twelve bullets into a nearby oak tree and the General makes his move, Totally unfair to the player. You should have these expeiriences a near death encounter and let the character escape somehow. Experience should be awarded on the basis of deafeating of and enemy or group of enemies.When experience is given out the amount shown for an enemie is given to each character. The amount of experience is found by adding the maximum damage of all weapons owned and maximum health of the enemie(s) plus the level of the enemie. For example, Private Ben killed a second level enemie that could do 6 and 21 points of damage, with 12 Health, Private Ben would get 2+6+21+12= 39 experience.
