FACTION:Martian Front





By the first half of the 3rd millenia man has colonized the solar system. The economic cost of the First Space Boom sent the old-earth powers into a recession from which they would never recover. A new world order emerged after a century of war-a totalitarian government that unified the remaining earth powers and placed the colonies under their direct control. The colonies, left to fend for themselves for nearly a century while Earth waged war, lacked any real means of military power and quickly signed a treaty with the new government. They became vassals to the regime, policed by the elite space armada known as SKYGUARD, hardened veterans of a centuries old war. Martian Factions are openly rebellious-It is the year 3129 and power is changing hands once again.




This is the interest check for a political/military and trade RP taking place on Mars. I'm going to be upfront that simple stats will be used to make sure combat is fair and favorable to the superior tactician. Factions can be anything a player wishes that fits into the setting-disgruntled colonists,a miners consortium, corporate funded terrorists, mercenaries for hire or anything else you can talk me and the other players into. I would hope that players could bring some interesting ideas while sticking to the core aesthetic of the setting. Let's write something great together! I hope for this game to last for a while-so I'm not going to rush into posting the main OOC just yet-I have a 10,000 word OP to edit and share so stick around!


The setting is inspired by (and in no particular order):Total Recall(1990), The Red Rising Trilogy, the Red Faction Video Game series, C&C:Red Alert, Red Planet, SpaceBase 2000, Dune 2:The Battle for Arrakis(1992) etc..etc...

Interested. Give me a NS and an idea of what kind of "theme" you are going for this game, and I'm in as a Homesteader Militia Pact organization. Whether militant, economic, or pure population-based I'll wait for mechanics notes to decide.

@Skylar NS, theme, tone all in the OP. I'm aiming for a sarcastic sort of 'were all screwed so let's make the best of it' tone. Like Die Hard sarcastic. Just wanted to gauge interest in a small-scale nation RP.

@Chenzor Great! Subscribe!

Still working on numbers. Maybe an OOC would help get some more interest...

Well oftentimes you both loose and gain players from an OOC. Go for it!

An nation sheet outline would also help arouse interest. Give some structure to what you are looking for in the game.

Interest has been expressed for this again. Setting theme and tone would remain the same. New Faction write-ups would be encouraged. With the help of @ArenaSnow and (whoever else was interested) organization, continuity and game progression would be more efficient. I'll be up front about my short-comings as a GM. I'm a tabletop gamer and this 'free-form' style of writing is different for me. With that said, Martian Front would be 'Open-Source' as in players are free to contribute to lore and story framework-I think the setting is absolutely solid and interesting. Also open-enrollment would be a thing (as suggested by ArenaSnow)

Ok. Begin interest check.

P.S> probably looking at a post-holiday start-up for me. That would give plenty of time for background lore and intial write-ups.

Need I say more?

Wondering if I should post the lore from PM in here as well, so it can be thrown about openly.

Edit: Post holiday start is honestly the best option for me, I just hope anyone who expresses interest now will be able to keep up for that long.

Interested in continuing. I think I'll drop Eudaimonia to focus on the Dirty Deeds company and Tactics/Wander. Figure that would be more fun and interesting for the game and setting.

Tactics/Wander is still one of my favorites. Such a great idea
