After hearing some of this song on the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 trailer, I wanted to hear the full song and stumbled on this fan vid. And ... wow. When Adriana Lima rolls her eyes at 1:34? To quote Jayne Cobb, "I'll be in my bunk."
Continuing my "thinking out loud" process here, I want to turn to characters. Now, the initial plan was to being in media res with the PCs aboard a crashing starship, which sort of indicates that they would start out in the same unit. However, what I'm currently thinking is that they don't know each other very well at all, so logically, it would work better if they weren't in the same squad or platoon or whatever. Perhaps instead, have them all be in the same battalion (equivalent) so some of them may recognize the others but only by sight. That works better because it means some (or all) could have dark secrets that come to light later. With regards to team make-up, I really like the stuff in Action 4: Specialists which lets you pick and choose elements from a basic template. Totally thinking of going with that.

That way, I can just say "The Saecsens (Saxons) kicked your ass and sent you packing." Skipping forward four months is also going to be interesting with regards to one of the PCs in the group as that character is pregnant. Honestly, never had a PC give birth in a game...
Interesting video: Will a Walmart Huffy survive a Downhill Mountain Bike Trail? | Skills with Phil Honestly, as someone who has bought a Wal-Mart bike (or three), I'm not sure why this is such a surprise. Of course they're not as good as the $1000 bike. Anyone surprised by that is an idiot. That said, not all of us have $1000 to drop on a bike so we end up spending $200 on a much cheaper one. Duh. Speaking of ... I need to get my bike fixed so I can start riding it to and from work again...
