I so want to run a G.I. Joe game… but I also know if I buy the game and try to do so I’m only going to hate the result. Because I guarantee that the people who would end up playing with me would not know the proper referencing and wordplay needed for a quality “job title” and a Codename for said job title in G.I. Joe.
The game expects and values cool names like ‘Alpine’ for a Mountain Trooper, ‘Snow Job’ for an Arctic Trooper, ‘Torpedo’ for a Navy S.E.A.L., ‘Tripwire’ for a Mine Detector, and so on. But instead, I’d get stuck with players who’d name their Joes things like ‘Captain Slappy’, ‘Muthafokka’, ‘Ed’, and ‘Douchebag’. Thereby irritating me every single time I’d try to run a game. I like G.I. Joe too much where I just don’t think it’s worth dealing with that stupid crap.
