Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Being 1926, it could be anything. Like Aaron said, the communists shouldn't still be in power in 1970+, but early communists could still work.

The important thing is what type of government you want to RP. Think of what you want to do, and then work that into the current history.

The French Revolution of 1930

@The Grey Warden

If it were me, I would probably move it to '26 or '27 and build it around the immediate effects of the war itself. People waiting in breadlines, soldiers coming home frustrated at the state of their country, a massive drop in the youth population forcing women and the elderly into the workforce for pitiful wages, and a general dissatisfaction at the state of the country. Communists and nationalists carve out large chunks of the population and support for Republicanism falters. Those sorts of things. All the student stuff fits in as well though, just build around it.

This is another thing you might steal ideas from.

Dude

We are now professionals.

That isn't a bad model to work off of, actually. It wouldn't be at the same scale, since tossing a weakened Republic overboard is different than tossing out an entire Ancien Regime aristocracy, but the people marching in the streets of Paris tearing out paving stones and barricading the roads is pretty par for the course as far as French uprisings go.

Don't get too freaked out. Read up, ask questions, and be willing to make mistakes. We'll help you out.

It's about 7 1/2 pages in so far. So... I am working on it! I just have a bad habit of hating my own writing, and putting off writing more because of it. But I'm gonna force myself to write more tomorrow, so if it goes well, the post will be out tomorrow. If not then... Maybe in a week?

You don't hear that every day.

Fun little Wikipedia quote I found

I can believe it. If you wanna scrap, you gonna scrap, there just ain't no two ways about that shit.

I like the aesthetic of concave grass spaces that unintentionally become ponds in winter.

If I ever dishonor my family in battle, i'm gonna use a halberd.

And I don't have to worry about no death poem, i'll just borrow the lyrics from Skynyrd's Simple Man.
