This is a pretty good game. Very replayable in my opinion. I'm seeing if anyone else has played it and are interested to try it here, otherwise totally up for anyone who doesn't know it. This is a very open RP.
Overview:
-The governments put some chemical into the atmosphere that they thought would help bring down global warming by a degree or two. Unfortunately it backfired and froze the planet over.
- The game is based in London [open for wherever] and that's the only current large functioning city. The game has us building another one far/near by as a sort of outpost and established civilization.
- We have a generator in the center of town that we MUST maintain and keep fueled by coal. It keeps us alive during the -90 days.
It is frostpunk since it is set in like 2200 or somewhere, but since the earth was destroyed in a sense, they are forced to get by with any means possible. This is how they have a generator though has to be fueled by coal. They can create or find a large automaton who can replace our workers, but that is a lot to accomplish.
- We would have a small society at first. We would be establishing a government still. Deciding on which direction we want to go with it [good, bad, military state, religious state, etc etc].
- Children can be laborers due to the dire need for work, maintenance & resources.
- We build a beacon so scouts can venture into the surrounding to find anything; automatons, resources, other survivors, turmoil, etc.
- Characters playable would include: workers/laborers, engineers, cooking staff, hunters, scouts, government, abandoners/deserters and whatever else. Your own background, your own size of your family. Your own issues with the frozen hell hole. This is very open since we have to work together to survive and resolve our issues.
- Struggle, survival, strategy, logistics, death, realistic depictions of death [frozen bodies, crushed from machines, etc]. This is a literal hellish landscape and lifestyle until we grow to become a better society.
That's a basic overview. Totally get more brainstorming from here if people are interested. See how it goes.
