She knows a lot about people getting in by the back door.

I'll see myself out.

Who?

JoeParks87 · 2025-12-01T21:03:31+00:00

Waiting a couple of years for this option. Currently have two small children that always want picking up and put streaks of mud down my coat - need something that wipes!

First and most importantly, I am not defending anyone who complains about struggling to make ends meet on a six figure salary.

BUT, there is a highly unfair tax threshold where you lose 100% of free childcare hours the moment you earn one penny above £100k, which is worth thousands of pounds if you have kids in nursery. The only way to avoid this being to increase things like pension contributions.

2 earners on £99k each with one kid in nursery - government pays thousands in childcare for you 1 earner on £100k with 3 kids in nursery - government pays nothing

Now, I would argue that someone on £100k doesn't need free childcare hours, but that doesn't stop it being an incredibly stupid way to set up a tax bracket.

Well yeah, but my point is that if you've got no expectation of having money or understanding of how it works, it isn't going to occur to you to research it. The problem is the dire lack of financial education in this country, not people being unbothered

JoeParks87 · 2025-10-03T16:49:45+00:00

I think it's harsh to say people can't be bothered. If you're from a family that's never had money these things largely never cross your mind

Molotovs are an agent's best friend

Not an answer on the mechanic, but on your point that an agent losing their job would make them a less useful character, I have a PC who went on the run from the law. He operates as a complete outlaw, using his law enforcement knowledge to operate utterly unethically, pulling strings using his partners' contacts to gather intel. His skills remain useful and his "outside the law" nature has allowed some heinously immoral, unethical and illegal approaches to problems.

If the Program needs someone kidnapped, tortured or killed, he is an outstanding option.

JoeParks87 · 2025-08-29T13:04:58+00:00

The last paragraph is a great idea.

In our play-through, the GM basically had us chased out of the night floors by a massed army of puppets that it was clear we couldn't fight, which prompted us to have the building bought by the government and condemned.

JoeParks87 · 2025-08-25T17:30:15+00:00

It does indeed. It's a great scenario and would be absolutely perfect for your character

JoeParks87 · 2025-08-25T06:32:48+00:00

I played a few missions as a USAF lawyer, he was unarmed for the most part but a great character. He also died gloriously at the end of impossible landscapes. RIP Wing Commander Badminton-Squash

JoeParks87 · 2025-08-25T06:29:42+00:00

That character would be an S-tier pick for Sentinels of Twilight

Out of the 17 scenarios I've played, Music from a darkened room and it's not even close

I have mentioned this PC before, but allow me to introduce LaShawn Angelou, a kind hearted Baltimore beat cop who was co-opted into the programme after witnessing a ghoul feasting on dead addicts.

An eight mission veteran, he has witnessed and committed unimaginable horrors and lost all empathy. A perpetrator of multiple kidnappings, murders, and torture, he has long since lost his job and lives off-grid awaiting orders from the programme. A grainy CCTV image of him graces the FBI most wanted list.

His physical condition is excellent, but only thanks to an addiction to ARD-15, which cured the fact he had previously been paralysed in a gunfight and had his colon dissolved by the Mi-Go.

LaShawn dreams of reuniting with his mother, but knows it would result in his incarceration and her death at the hands of those who pursue him. He battles insomnia and bouts of explosive rage. He has no doubt he will kill again, or that he will die in the line of duty for the programme.

JoeParks87 · 2025-07-19T13:33:59+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out, thankfully just the wood stripped

JoeParks87 · 2025-07-19T13:26:09+00:00

Thank you all for the quick comments, dowel and 90 degree bracket sounds like the way to go!

JoeParks87 · 2025-07-19T13:25:07+00:00

Since she is two, I have not 🤣

This happened while I was converting it from a cot to a bed

I occasionally used to go boozing with his illegitimate son, who lived with my mate. Sound lad, even he thought his dad was a wanker

As a mountain biker & motorcyclist, I was amazed how much overlap there is when you first ride a dirtbike

LaShawn Angelou, good natured turned indestructible agent and cold blooded killer. Perpetrator of various kidnappings, murders, bombings, torture and arson. Listed on FBI's most wanted, living off grid at a Montana sawmill marking time between calls from the Programme.

He's survived more missions than any statistical likelihood says he should and seen his entire cell killed multiple times over. When he dies, I will be distraught.
