Collective War Gear


What can be researched at the start.


All hail the Alpha Fold! Your worlds are kept in natural order with slight modification ( Desert, Ocean, and Earth Like.) but over all tougher building equipment due to armor tech.


All Collective players stay here.


Design phase. Redesign phase. And a order phase. Then following combat.

Hello this is to be huh thread for a space faring Arms game I had in mind. The deal is in a sector of eighteen stars with multiple wars. Two factions fighting for control. As their sector is cut off via a warp storm. There are two theatres of war. Space and planet side. Both are important as planet decides who's world it is. Space, decides where said players can go to.

The two sides.


Grand Imperium of Isldrua: All Hail the God Empiress. This faction is lead by antenna humanoids who have unlocked genetic proteins via tech and attempting to spread their own gospel across the Stars. They accept other aliens. If they submit, or else they die. Hence reason of current conflict.

Advantage: Zealots: Morale roll boost.


Collective: A race that was once all organic, they shifted research to replace organs with lab grown and cybernetics. They are a unique race in that there is no way of calling them a people. Due to so many unique flavors they take on.


Advantage: Cheaper units. As all cpus are basically uploaded ciziten brains. So maintence and handling is easier.

And yes they refuse the religion. Hence Enemies with the Imperium.


Each side has three star stsytwms. Nine worlds in total. From there is the research, redesign and deploy stuff. Will make rolls and it pans out that way.

No map as my dumb phone does not want to work. Next will post up starting gear for both sides and general research tree on their threads.


Game on and prosper.

This is way back. In the earliest years of the world. Before laws were written and relations were made. Before humans came with their empires. This is the time. If the non Human reign.


Another Pangaea game. This time more like Spam Kingdom in years go by and no research tree or equipment issues (usually.) The trick this time. Instead of humans. Your non human.

Pick your race.


No Winter Lords or Dea Kings or stuff but below I rolled up.

Also wives: To take more than one wife is acceptable. But they and offspring will compete to see who will be in charge. Two or three is to make sure of kids. In time to reflect on status can take more. Depending who joins your tribe. Also in issue with kids. They are born with half of fathers score but inherit mother traits.

1: Warrior Woman: A bad ass warrior maiden who is likely your body guard. Kids would be strong, and she can lead troops and be your body guard, but if pregnant best to keep her out of harms way. Even if she disagrees.

5: Garderner: Has plant knowledge. Making her handy to look over famring techniques for more food;
6: Priestess: Get more rolls/points from God related stuff, problem is she is not as fertile and less likely to have kids.
7: Smiths Daughter: Get bonus in crafting and item knowledge.
8: The Beauty: So damn beautiful and prime any kid from her will get bonus stats. Problem is so pretty every man wants her. Be ready to keep her, gotta fight if need be.
9: Merchants Daughter: With this bride one gains bonus goods, plants, and naimals at start to make things easier.
10: A Princess: Picking this bride means you start off with two peoples under banner. For double military opportunities. Problem is less happiness due to culture divide.

Tribe:
Title


Edit: Rules.

1: Six town actions. Can get council for two free picks said council does.

2: May only build one thing for now. ( At stewardship ten, can build two things back to back. Rest upgrade stuff like farming and trade when you get potential buyers.)

3: Can upgrade stats twice. But not same thing twice.

4: Every stat has role. Depends on how you wanna be.

5: Sometimes duo events occur so no town time. Only A-B-C options. For that seasonal half.


6: Use divine favors as magic. Roll for results. May declare it in situation if prompted. Max favors allowed is four. In reserve.

7: Only one discovery at a time.

I was thinking of a rpg. One with no stats. Only die rolls and "roles." As in you guys pick numbers. And said number gives you a assigned role. You can play how you want to as said role. It just defines your abilities.


Plot:


Four thousand years ago. A great evil rose and eight heroes rose to defeat it. They were lost in time afterwards.

Now the world is dying and needs heroes. A magic user got the genius idea to teleport them to the present. So they may solve the problem.

This rp is the result of that choice.

1-8: Be one of the living legends. Who are well stated but ignorant to times.


Or pick 1-4. Which means your a hero of modern day. Just not as bad ass. But can do cool things.


Try to update 1 to 2 times a week.

And there you go. Number results will be in spoiler tags.



After enough players. The play thread will be done. But yeah, no stats. Just dice, pros and cons.

New here. Love RPGs and do then as a hobby. Instead of spamming the forum with countless ideas down making my idea thread here. Until something is popular enough to get its own sign up. Then game thread. Will be doing games by theme.


Adventure: Below are cooperative adventures.

Fantasy:

Magnus Cirps: Magic agents/ cops deal.

The Society:  Here rp as freedom fighters against da man. With magic world.

Hyper Zone: A experiment rips open a quantum energy flux that bathes the world into mana. After two wars and such the world is up to exploring.

Sci Fi:

Project Weapon: Be super soldiers grown for war. Choose your fate.

Metas Rising: Mutants on the rise. What is their role in society now?



Normal:

Planet Sunshine: We are manga artists at a studio. Planet Sunshine. Rp out their lives and their works in progress and comment on said things.

War game: Below is my war game.

Onslaught: Fictional alternative WW2 world. With sci fi tech, powers, magic and etc.

Faction skirmish game: Below is said game.

THUG: Sci fi punk game in which we are street gang hood rats in a dirty future.

Will probably add more latter and bring up notes to ones mentioned.

Edited for typos. Will post future submissions on Monday.

Should be pointed out I do not have writers block. It's all already written. Just deciding which to do.

Have a awesome one and thanks for your time if you read it.
