Full disclosure: I am married with a baby, plus I run a weekly game for 3 nephews and a brother-in-law. I don't have a ton of time, so my interest checks are partially wishful thinking. THAT having been said, Recon 1e is a game I'd be more likely to run than almost any other on account of its simplicity. Plus the fact that it lends itself very well to short, one-shot sessions, and leaves a lot of the GMing up to random tables.
So, would anyone be interested in playing Recon, the Role Playing Game of the Viet Nam War?
There are newer editions, but Palladium put the original (which they have no plans to reprint- I emailed to ask) online years ago as a free download. AFAIK, they never rescinded that offer. So, here is a link to the Recon 1e rules:
The game is complete (at 46 pages long, which I appreciate more and more as I get older), ad despite being a slim book, packs a lot of detail in.
Fair Warning: the book can be racist and sexist. I get that it's setting appropriate, just throwing that out there for any who may wish to give it a pass for that reason.
Characters have 3 stats (Strength, Agility, Alertness) and skills provide bonuses to rolls against those stats. Percentile system, roll under. Lethality is high.
Whaddaya think?
