Initiative in the Twilight

    So I've been thinking alot about my Twilight 2000 hack. I think I have combat itself, or at least fire combat squared away in my head. But the one thing I'm still pondering is initiative. I have three distinct ways to go about it in my head. T2K, Recon, and Black Hack all have different systems for it. I keep mulled over if I should drop one or the other. Or for that matter knead two or more of them together. Not sure yet. Still in my note taking phase. Nothing really written. Perhaps I should start writing it proper. Maybe it would be clearer to me then.

Twilight X

    So in researching more about Twilight 2000. (Yes, I own the 2nd ed Cor book, plus a bunch of supplements) I found Twilight X, a comic from Antarctic Press. Its totally T2K, in a different way. The little blurb about it.

"After eleven years of war, the First World has collapsed. A brief civil war has left the United States divided, ragged and without hope. The Soviet Union is controlled by former Russian Mafia and military commanders, now kings. Europe, Japan and Israel are radioactive wastelands. Throughout the world, self-appointed lords and tyrants take what they want with force and brutality. Now, five strangers have banded together to find purpose in the midst of violence and apathy."

    I think I need the TPB of these. If for nothing else my own pure enjoyment. The art is a cross between a westernized anime/manga and ligne claire style. The characters are slightly cartoonish, but the backgrounds, weapons, equipment, and vehicles are super realistic.

Hacking the Twilight

    Sorry I haven't posted much of any real content lately. Long and short the real world is a motherfucker. So I've been messing around with hacking Twilight 2000. Yes I know, what about the Viking Hack? Its done. It just needs something. I cant totally put my finger on what though. So I'm gonna set it down for a minute.
    But back to T2K. Black hack is getting really hacked up for this. I'm going to use skills, and difficulty modifiers. I figure I will have to do a completely new thing for firearms. The hacks I've seen for them leave me feeling action movie type thing. Which is not T2K. T2K is gritty and deadly.
    Then how to handle vehicles, and for that matter personal, and vehicle armor. I have lots of ideas. I've just got to start laying it all out. I've been writing down notes and ideas. I just need to start assembling them, into a semblance of order.
