Supplement #1

The purpose of Supplement 1 is to add Specialties and Skills, and to clearify existing material. When you are both a Role Player and a Game Designer, you tend to automatically put things in your 'Test Games' that somehow never make it to paper. No matter how many times you read your proof, there are always things that get by you. For this reason, we would like to take this time to apologize for the items that were inadvertently left out of MERC: the Twilight Soldier.

In Book 3 - In Country, besides new specialties & skills, there are restrictions on existing material. In Book 4 - Motor Pool, the vehicle procedure has been intensified. All and any of these changes should be applied to existing characters and campaigns. Since the basic MERC system remains the same, these changes are only to add authenticity, realism, and action to your game.

We would also like to thank all those MERC players who have written to us with questions and opinions. It was through these letters that our mistakes could be rectified.

So, here is Supplement 1. We believe that it completes the MERC system . . . but you never know. Keep the letters coming, and we'll be more than happy to answer your questions and help with your campaign. Happy Hunting!
