Destination Unknown had a link to the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops TV commercial.I really enjoyed it and thought it showed the various types of people that game (one guy, however, didn't like it). Even though I don't play video games, I can see the sentiment in RPGs.
As I was watching the spot, I thought "who are these people and what would they be like in an RPG?" Hence the following six PCs, for both Savage Worlds and Microlite20 systems, from the Call of Duty: Black Ops TV commercial.
Here's the first: a young woman in a business suit and high-heels, with a Colt Commando, calmly walking in the open, ready to fight.

Dude, this is awesome. When I saw the ad I started having all kinds of cool ideas, such as average people fending off an alien invasion.
ReplyDeleteThat Atlantic Weekly guys needs to mellow out. It's just a game. Life is hard and people need to blow off some steam. It's all good, brosef!
Have a great weekend, Matt!
Excellent work, but I still wish that I didn't see this dam commercial every five minutes lol
ReplyDeletePretty keen idea. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I first made up the Savage World character then figured why not try another system. Microlite20 is a really rules-light D20 game that I've been reading for a couple of weeks and wanted to see how it would work out.
ReplyDeleteAs for seeing the commercial every five minutes, I don't mind much because it'll be out of the public eye soon enough.
Oh, and 5 more characters to come.
