Howdy! My name is Jason Richards and I am the author and gamemaster of the Arzno campaign. This is the second campaign relating to Arzno and I hope not the last. To read more about Arzno you can go to my webpage:

Some other places you can read are in Rifter 2 by Palladium Books, or you can always wait for more to be published, probably in October or so in 1999.

A little about me: I'm a student attending Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. Maybe you've heard of it, as we have a pretty good football team. Actually, everything at A&M is the great, but nothing more so than the Fightin' Texas Aggie Cadet Corps, the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, and A-Battery. I'm a proud member of the Fightin' Class of '02 and a Civil Engineering major. Gig'em and God bless.

Wanna be a soldier? Think you've got what it takes? Well, prove it and sign up for the Arzno Mercenary Corps. We're always looking for new talent, both in the line of fire and for leadership. Absolutely any character will be considered and I rarely turn anyone down, but these are my general guidelines:

• Most players will be SDC and humanoid, but many exceptions will be made, especially for a character with good background.
• We are usually lacking in spell-casters, so low-level magic users generally get some perks, especially Techno-Wizards. If you ask nicely, I might even have a new character class for you to play-test.
• This is a military setting, so try to avoid gung-ho type players who dislike teamwork to the point of insubordination.
• Characters who are exceptionally creative (as in their backgrounds and general persona) will usually get extra consideration. I'm pretty rough on people who just submit character sheets with little or no background.
• I love sub-plots. You figure out the rest, or just ask me if you especially like real role-playing and not just hack and slash and are interested in a little something extra.
• Character classes I view as extremely good, but underplayed include: Cyber-Knight, Techno-Wizard, any Priest class, Rouge Scientist, Rouge Scholar, Headhunter, CS Grunt, City Rat, Knight, Psi-Stalker, Cowboy, any Druid class, and even Vagabond. The way I figure it, a low-level and/or vague character class gives you that much more to work with.
