Sons of Liberty-A 2nd American Revolution Quest

TBD

(These rules are subject to change)

Crit Rules

I will count natural 1, and natural 100 as Nat Crits. These are the best possible rolls and will give you amazing results or terrible punishments. Then if you have non-natural results that give you either <=1 or >=100 these are non-natural crit and will give you some bonuses, better than a normal success or worse than a normal failure but nowhere as extreme as a natural crit.

Also for a fun addition if you roll two or more d100s and any of the rolls are duplicated then there might be a fun bonus.

Omake Rules

This is where I will post the Omakes and their respective bonuses. There will be three types of Omakes, saving bonuses, ones with temporary bonuses, and ones with permanent bonuses. Depending on how well you wrote an omake from a certain prompt may determine if the bonus is temporary or permanent.

Saving bonuses are only gained by Omakes posts that were not on the bounty list and if they are good, a thing solely up to my discretion, then they can be saved to somewhat off-put the failure of critically bad rolls and just make them normal failures. I will probably not accept more than one or two a day, and please don't post them during voting times.

The Omakes with temporary effects give bonuses only once and during special circumstances. They can affect only one interaction or one event, like a conversation or the effectiveness of an ambush. They won't provide flat bonuses for whole chapters or events but could potentially turn the tide of a battle. They don't need to be long stories, short and sweet works fine, but longer stories may get better bonuses.

Then the Omakes with permanent bonuses are self-explanatory. They have a requirement to be slightly longer with proper grammar. But they can give you VERY nice long-term rewards.

"It's Just worthless Paper Now"

Ford Hughes was having a bad day. Well, it had been a series of bad days and they kept getting worse. A man in his seventies he had survived decades of crap after more crap. He had fought in Vietnam in his youth after being drafted and when he got home from the war he decided to enlist full-time after having found a family in the army. For eighteen more years, he served until he aged out and took his pension as a Staff Sergent deciding to retire by Kansas City where he grew up.

It was a good thing that he left when he did because things went from somewhat bad to a complete fustercluck soon after. The plagues, economic crisis, and ecological collapse wreaked havoc on his home as he saw the city and country he loved begin to rot from the inside out. He watched as the US government fell completely apart and was taken over by a corporate entity.

With the collapse of the NUSA claimed to be taking over the duties of the previous government in most cases they just didn't, and that wasn't more apparent than for the veterans. For most of the former service members their pension and disability payments stopped, and while some money was put aside for the vets that remained in the larger cities in the BOSWASH corridor that was the exception and not the rule. But for men like him out in the boonies there was nothing.

What was the most damaging thing was that many people during the collapses and crisis thought they if they just held their money in cold hard cash then they could avoid the collapse. That was the route Ford took, and it bit him in the ass. By the end of the 2010s, all his cash was worthless.

Now Ford finds himself riding inside a convoy headed from Lincoln Nebraska to Indianapolis. With a bit of cyberware, he was able to find himself a job as a caravan. As convoys of cars passed through the uncontrolled land he looked out the window and wondered what he would do with the pile of cash he had at home.

After all, It's Just worthless Paper Now.
