Wanted to see if anyone is interested in doing an alternate history where the Great Depression grows far beyond anyone's expectations. Right now I was thinking of at some point along the line, either before FDR is elected or if Hoover is re-elected, there would be a treaty or decision that peacefully splits the states into sovereign nations, with hopes of doing better with their own governments instead of the failing US. People would carve out their nation from the former USA either following state lines or not. But I got thinking and also if enough people were interested after the nations from the former US were taken, people could take control of other countries, existing or new, around the world and tell how they faced the struggle of the Great Depression and expand the map past NA and into the entire world, where wars could be fought and alliances made (sort of like a desperate WWII). I can tell there could be a lot of collaborative lore that could go on here, so is anyone interested?
Edit: I will be needing a co-gm so if anyone's wanting to become co-gm you can apply. Also if you would like you may reserve states/regions/countries if you have an idea of who you will play
(Disclaimer: This is heavily influenced by an idea my friend and I had on another forum that never really got off the ground)
Long ago the planet of Eren flourished with great kingdoms and empires. Man had conquered the world and entered the renaissance era much earlier than our own history. Great minds made new inventions daily, pushing mankind's golden age further than anyone could ever imagine. Then, as if the planet took this as an insult, the Great Plague started. The Great Plague demolished this world's hopes. It spread through the nations like an invisible wildfire leaving a wake of destruction and death- Although leaving a wake implies the Great Plague had moved on, which it hadn't. The Great Plague had stayed, clinging to the land itself like a tick. It killed Humans, animals, plants, even the land itself seemed to be corrupted by this great evil. While humanity did not completely die out during this Great Plague, living during this era was like being tortured in hell. The Great Plague was so ravenous, if you were unlucky enough to not die immediately, you genes and DNA would be forever altered by the Great Plague. No one really knows how long the Great Plague lasted, only that it had lasted a very long time. There were no records or any civilization during the Great Plague, and the records of old kingdoms seemed to die as well, leaving mankind to start from scratch. Eventually the plague did die down, leaving as suddenly as it appeared. The remaining living things were alien compared to before- Including now many different races of humans, no actual humans left. Also new and sparse wildlife, plants and animals. What will happen in this new and threatening world? What civilizations will rise from the dust? And the biggest question- Will the Great Plague return?
Hello! Welcome to After The Plague, a NRP about many devastated new races of humans and their rise. The game starts in the middle of stone age where your tribes have been organized for a while. Deaddlife is my co-GM. Map (For a size reference, these are just two continents. Once we advance enough we can reveal other continents with NPCs): imgur.com/GS5olU8 Sorry img not working
Name (of tribe): Race (Just name here, race form below): Population (There was just a massive dying and it's the stone age now... think small, max about 700): Organization (How is your tribe led? Is there a religious leader, war chief, etc.): History (We start the RP a few years after the plague, so how did your people find and group together? How is your tribe doing today? Preferably 1 paragraph): Religion (what your people follow, and gods may help in game occasionally. Explain the god(s) they believe in): Shelter (Do your people live in treehouses? Caves? Tepees? etc.): Location (You may begin as a nomadic group, but eventually settle down. Post a picture including your tribe please.): Wildlife/Geography (What kind of nature do your people live in/around?):
Race Sheet: Name: Changes (How did the plague change your race from being human?): Appearance: Advantages (If it is magic that is the only advantage you may have): Disadvantages (Must be twice as many as advantages, you were created by a force of evil and death, after all): Lifecycle (How old do they get?/ Anything special?):
Guide to the wildlife- The flora and fauna of New Eren: Humans were not the only lives changed during the plague, plants and animals were also affected and changed in big way. This is an optional community 'journal' where flora and fauna around your tribe could be added, so we can get an understanding of this crazy new world. All you have to do is at the end of you App, write 'Guide Entries' and under write the name of the plant/animal in bold, then give a description. You may write as much or little as you want, and I will add it here.
Starting work on OOC. Look for it when it's done and repost your NS's there, but I have made adjustments to the NS so when it's up please look at that before posting. Also, I am labeling this NRP to be average 2-3 paragraphs per post, 1 at the very least. I hope you take this into consideration and improve and elongate your NS's.
@Admiralkio I'd be fine if we started now and people could join during the game, but it's up to you *edit* Are you too going to create someone? or just GM?
