Kriegsmarine 2100
« on: December 31, 2012, 02:47:40 pm »

The Year is 2176

The world is in a state of prodigious unrest over the global energy crisis, which has only grown worse since the turn of the century. The United States has finally experienced total collapse following the Middle Eastern nations' recent unification under the Treaty of Baghdad, and the enactment of their fuel embargo. South America has experienced a tremendous shift in power as the Brazilian government undergoes an increase in centralisation and enacts numerous industrialisation policies that have made it a serious contender as a world superpower. The whole of Asia has made a mass foray into naval power to capitalise on the fall of the U.S., and countless merchant agencies and private military organisations have sprung up as a result. Europe is hanging on by a thread as the continued drop in the value of its currency gradually claims nation after dying nation. Russia has closed its borders and cut itself off from the rest of the world after its fourth coup in the past decade. Rumours of packs of war machines rampaging throughout the wasteland, wiping out entire cities have echoed throughout the world ever since, and the situation as a whole only grows darker by the moment.

The dice rules are thus:
[Lower Than 1] - Blew Up In the Hanger: You are guaranteed to lose limbs, life, equipment, jobs, friends, dignity, etc. The severity of the loss goes in accordance with however many points below 1 you have fallen.
[1] - Utter Loss: It didn't work, and you've likely made the situation worse in the process.
[2] - Failure: Whatever you were trying to do, it didn't pan out.
[3] - Ineffective: Your action was successful, but it hardly made a difference.
[4] - Success: It worked, and with the intended results.
[5] - Pure Victory: The action went just as you planned it, and you even managed to get something else in too.
[6] - Pyrrhic: The action went as planned, but with unexpected side effects.
[Higher Than 6] - I Don't Understand: You are guaranteed to gain limbs, life, equipment, jobs, friends, dignity, etc. The value of the gain goes hand-in-hand with the amount of points above 6 that you have risen.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Yup! Thats basically German for "Navy," but I guess thats sort of an oversimplification of the word. If only I actually knew the language. :P

I was going to ask you fellas whether you all want to be on the same ship as a crew, or captains of your own vessels.

I have enough experience with Bay12 to vote for individual captains, unless you want a horrible wreck to result.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Quick question: What is the level of Technological advancement in this timeline? Have laser weapons been developed? What sort of Defenses does the average seafaring vessel have? And is Great Britain still not part of the EU?

We've reached the advent of information warfare, and though energy weapons have been deemed viable, they're only just exiting the prototype stage. You'll get more details on your vessel when I finish fleshing out the gameplay. Great Britain is a part of the EU. I would've mentioned it but I couldn't figure out a way to shoehorn that in on the background post.
