This is fantastic.

This is fantastic. Deadpan, blacker than black military humor. Plus an old pilot weighing in on the supposed replacement for the A-10.

    Heh, nice. And yup, grunts today would still rather have an A-10 on station for most Close Air Support situations. I heard at some point when the Air Force was making noises about retiring the A-10 that some folks in the Army were asking to get them, but maybe that was wishful thinking.

    A friend brought me back a comic book from basic that taught him how to take care of his rifle. Why limit it to the Army I guess.

So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
