ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʀ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ᴀʟʟ ᴡᴀʀѕ




ɪɴᴛʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ

The year is 2044, roughly a hundred years following the success of D-Day.

Whilst the push into Nazi Germany and its occupied territories had been initially successful, military operations had come to a stalemate close to the River Rhine. Reminiscent of the Great War, much of the nearby land had been decimated, warped and twisted into a no-man's land of barbed wire and minefields. Neither side could hold an offensive for long, where any breakthrough would exchange hands repeatedly throughout the day.

Desiring to break the stalemate, groups on both sides rushed weaponry onto the battlefield, such as the atomic bombs of the Manhattan Project and the countless Wunderwaffe of the Third Reich. Despite their intentions, these weapons would lead to the destruction of not just Europe, but the civilized world as it was known. Now, all that remains is the new world, reborn from the ashes of the old. Nations fought and died on the battlefield, with what they stood for but a fleeting memory in the minds and hearts of the elderly few.

It's going to be a long way to Tipperary, kid. Praise the Lord, pass the ammunition, and most importantly, make sure you don't get shot in the ass.

If I still have your attention, welcome!

What I have in mind for this roleplay is to create a mishmash of some of my favorite settings and genres. The concept and ideas listed below are more of a "vague generalization" than anything else, given that I want to give people freedom to world build alongside me. Therefore, if anyone has any ideas, feel free to hit me up with suggestions such as potentially dangerous threats or factions scattered among the countryside of Europe.

To explain in the simplest way possible: the world's fucked. The war we know as World War 2 left devastation throughout the world, with the collapse of empires and countries leaving behind only the rare working lasrifle or titan—monstrous machines of death—behind in their wake. In addition, the various remnants of humanity are not the only enemy, with mutated beings and zombie-like plague carriers guarding ruins and the roads between makeshift outposts. Safety and shelter, while not unheard of, is a rarity in a world where anything could kill you.

Rules for this roleplay will be rather simple: don't be a dick and flame others or argue (which includes the GM's word being law), write at least two to three detailed (yes, detailed; this is a casual roleplay, after all) paragraphs minimum at least once per week. Follow those rules and everyone will have fun.

@Haruharara I don't see many issues so far. That being said, keep in mind that the setting I'm trying to go for is a mix between the Fallout series & the Steampunk + Dieselpunk genres, so try to figure out why "service frames" would still be made in a post-apocalyptic shit hole. Some ideas could be that there is an automated factory still building them long after the war, or someone repaired a factory and has it up and running again to produce service frames for new investors.

I'd also ask you to note her ammunition, along with how many grenades she has.

I would prefer the faction to be in a sheet of its own. Whether that be just a simple hider or something more fleshed out is up to you.

Will our characters be operating in a group, fighting each other, or just interacting around the same general area?

Hello! I have a few questions...

1: Can my character be robotic?
2: Can I add/create a new faction/nation?

A mix of the first and third. Despite the setting, I feel inter-party conflict can easily muddy things up.

We already have someone going for a "service frame", which is essentially an android. I'd prefer not to have more than one, but if you want to try applying for one, there's nothing stopping you.

As for #2, you can create new factions, though they must also be applied for with a sheet of their own.

So. What do you think? I am aware that it does not exactly fit the 2044 theme, but it may add some spice to the Roleplay and some new landmarks for players to explore.

@Nate1008 I don't think they'd fit in the setting. Seems overly scifi for what I'm trying to go for.

@Nate1008Wow! The Automatic Militia Corporation (AMC) appears to be a fantastic organization for a Role Play set in a very tech heavy futuristic Science fiction Role play; not unlike your previous attempt with the Cybernetic Construct Corporation (C.C.C). They both look very fantastic. But I think you are kind of missing the point of this dystopian, post apocalyptic Role play. It is sort of like a pitcher, standing on the pitcher's mound and throwing the ball to second base, while the batter waits at home plate--totally in the opposite direction.



If you have ever read anything in the Steampunk era, you'll note there is a serious degradation in technological advantages. Most that I have seen are set around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries or The Great War era. This one would at least allow you to possess 1940s tech. From the quote below, Kuro has allowed an extremely rare opportunity to find a working lasrifle or titan machine to use. Your idea suggests quite the opposite of that intent. You may want to rethink the direction you are heading.

Gunter, Nate's most ancient detractor cannot stop himself from detracting in RPs, nay interest checks. Rate and move along folks.
