With Feather, Ink and the Atomic Bomb


The global war, the deadliest conflict in this worlds history, is over! Ten years has passed since the peace of Buthan has been signed, and the old world has been offcially burried. A new order has risen from the ash, a world in which global power blocks, ready their weapons, for a war, they all know, nobody can win.

All sides have declared themselves winner of global war, holding onto countries taken, "liberted" or regained. Puppet goverments, Juntas and provisinal democraties are just as fragile now, as the occupation zones in the years of the gobal war. Spies from all sides, lay waiting, ready to serve their side, in the new era of warfare, all sides know, is about to begin.

Yet, there are still these very few nations, that have not picked a side in the great struggle of ideological blocs. Neutrality, five minutes before midnight, is a dangerous game.



Rules


  • This is a story driven RP, a united effort to create an intresting tale of a cold-war esque world, five minutes before midnight
  • Communication is the key! Talk to your other players when you build your nation and be open to all kinds of feedback
  • The creation of NPC nations as satilites or minor players inside power blocs is HEAVILY encouraged!
  • Lore is open to changes and input from the players, with the GM having final say
  • Follow the guild rules (duh..)
  • Listen to the GM.

@Andreyich Glorious!

@LordZell Taking some minor insperations from former rps, I am open to discuss with my players how these power-blocs will look. The basse idea is, that the global war was a war to break the status quo in this world, and establish a new order. There can be two or even three power blocks in this conflict, who´s make up is yet to be decided

@DX3214 Nuclear power and superbombs! ICBMS are yet in development, but nuclear power is the key to modern economic development in this world.

What exactly does it take to become a nuclear power? Development of nukes has to be controlled otherwise there will be no M.A.D. and everyone will die turn 1. I'm hoping for a little more humanity and compassion than that... mayyyn.

@CleanBreeze The leaders of all powerblocks ARE nuclear powers. Others can also become nuclear powers during the RP (After a reasonable build up IC. There will be no game mechanics behind it)

Yes, MAD is a major theme of this rp, and the looming threat of it. This rp can go nuclear and maybe it should

I like the sound of this.

So basically a world in which there has been, 10 years prior, a huge WW2 style thing that ended with nuclear war?

So I suppose as well as the current landscape we’d be thinking about what came before?

@Tsar Gatto Cheers mate, thanks for your intrest

The Global War was 10 years ago, when the powerblocks of now went to war. Nations were conquered, countries invaded and millions died. Think a mixture of WW1 and WW2. It ended with the development of the atomic bomb (They are called superbombs in this setting) and seven recorded military uses. Keep in mind, that these bombs were equal in power to the ones used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Devastating, but not MAD level of destruction.

Indeed. The whole theme of this rp, is the new order of the world, with all countries having played some role in the global war.

@LordZell Sound very good! Being a major power would mean being inside a power bloc, but they are far from an absolute united mass. Internal political troubles are expected and encouraged for the players to create.

I am going to reuse my old Zengrav nation, so China might already exist as an insperation on the map.

I was considering a sort of Russian Empire style place, with the divergence it A) survived its civil war and B) it got nuked in the recent great war, but persevered and ended up on the winning side

P.S. are you sure on the map? It looks... weird to me, continents too small and all

I think we both have the same idea...

EDIT:
Actually we both had the same fucking idea of a Russian Empire

@Andreyich Sounds like a good idea for a faction. How the power blocs developed and how the history of all nations are, will be discussed in a Discord, where i will put heavy focus on collabs and interconnected nations and history

I do quite like the map and would prefer to keep it. But you are right about the scale, i might increase the size of the continents to something more earth like

@Elgappa a thing I just realized that put me off from the map is that the continents aren't really interconnected. On earth africa, europe, and asia are all linked with much land as are the americas. Here meanwhile they're all broken off into a bunch of little australias, it just doesn't feel natural to me although if others are cool with it I'll shut up

@Andreyich I agree with you on that. Personally I think it gives the map its own charm, and the ammount of continents, gives enough room to world build, while avoiding the prevelent Mega-Continent that is so dominant in other maps. As the GM I reserve myself the final say on that matter, but if a reasonable alternative is brought in early in the planning stage of the rp, I am open to have my mind be changed

While I agree it seems off to have separate continents and I think it’s because while their all separated I feel that it still has two halves. Like the America’s and then the Europe and stuff on the other side. Anyways what’s this about a discord?
