War. War never changes.™
We all know that part in every NS guide for every NRP ever basically. That part where we spend hours looking up cool pictures for and coming up with cool names and how to ensure that our tank can fuck up everyone else's day. Only to never use it. Its almost sad sometimes.
Thus, instead of making yet another NRP about making nations and having them play the long game, let us make nations just to make cool battles and shit with!. Inspired by the Fires of Anuria series of NRPs on the site, this NRP will be focused exclusively on the military aspect of a nation/empire as they battle it out. This NRP will basically be an exercise in story and combat writing for those of you who want your fix
Three important points I am going to stress however:
1) You cannot win. There is no end to the war, there is no victory to be had, just bloodshed and carnage. This is just war writing for fun.
2) Things will be dark, not edgy. The main difference between the two is that dark writing always has hope in it some how, as grimdark and crapsac as this NRP will be, characters and soldiers will still be caring some form of hope and not just be self loathing edgy bitches. This doesn't mean you can't have badass moments though.
3) Rule of Cool is definitely in affect here but I will still be looking for some semblance of reason and balance. I'm not going to allow every single one of your soldiers to carry a Holy Flaming Bastard Sword of Brutal Skullfucking +99 or your tanks to fire out nuclear munitions at 1200 RPM. To sort of "control" this, I will be using a sort of Heroes and Tier system kind of close to that use in Total War as well as just being a hardass GM on NS.
Now for settings:
- High Fantasy Medieval/Renaissance
- World Wars-esque setting (say which you have preferance too)
- World Wars with steampunk/dieselpunk
- SciFi on a single planet and limited space engagements
- Post Apoc styled
This will be high fantasy a la Warhammer Fantasy-style
Thanks for reading! ^^
Any questions I will see to answer as fast as possible.
