I have had the idea for a while of doing an RP in David Drake’s Hammer's Slammers universe. For those who don’t know Hammers’ Slammers is a series of novels and short stories that takes place in the relatively near future in which mercenary companies operate, in large part, as a replacement for standing armies. War has become to expensive for the average world, too much investment in hardware and training for relatively short term goals. The solution is to hire mercenary forces to do the bulk of the fighting for them.
David Drake is a Vietnam veteran and his fiction is heavily influenced by this experience.
I would like to have a small group of Slammers (3-4) who become caught up when one of these little brushfire wars goes wrong. I don't want to nail down too many details up front because it is my hope that we could fill in the details collaboratively.
I know it is kind of niche so please let me know if there is interest. I would prefer players who are familiar with the fiction but we can make do if you are sufficiently interested.
