You Are Soviet Nuclear Cavalry: It's alive!
« on: June 30, 2014, 12:25:56 pm »

So this is an RtD based on some rambling that happened in the science thread. I'll let 4-5 players in. Not sure what exactly the tone will be either silly or grim-"war is hell" type depending on what you want. The text below is written by the Propaganda dept. so it's quite cheery.



You Are Soviet Nuclear Cavalry

Moscow, 1942

The Father of Nations, in between personally ripping off the heart of the fascists invaders, making sure the war orphans have an happy childhood and growing the world's most socialist mustache, took a decision that would change the course of history. Under the command of Comrade Sergarrski was founded the Moscow Mechanical Institute, that would soon gain fame as the National Research Nuclear University (NRNU, МИФИ). It's mission, in the Gardener of Human Happiness' words: To Tame the Horse of Nuclear Energy to Serve the People's Purpose.


The Great Architect of Communism's own wrist served as model for the logo

Sadly, comrade Sergarrski's understanding of metaphors was in inverse proportion to his scientific genius. Taking the finest Cossack breed and the purest Siberian uranium, working tirelessy for weeks on hands, sustained only by the will to serve the People and inspired by the Coryphaeus of Science, Sergarrski created the Stalin breed, the world's first nuclear horses. Sadly, many of them had a tendency to spontaneously explode, and only a handful were stable.

March 1943, near Stalingrad

After months and months of fighting, you and your comrades broke the Nazis at Stalingrad, city of heroes. You suffered from lack of food, lack of sleep, lack of ammunition and lack of living comrades, but the Great Genius of Humanity made sure you never lacked courage, motivation or devotion to the Party or the Motherland.

Now, after a month of rest, your unit is set to go back to the front. However, before leaving, a great news was announced. You have been declare volunteer for the 1st Nuclear Cavalry Squadron. What your mission will be exactly, you will only know once the GM actually has an idea after signing up, but you're one just form away from glory.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

It's like tea leaf divination, but with cartoon leprechauns.
There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

Yeah, this whole mess started when Sergarr mentioned he was working there, and I wondered why their logo was man punching an horse in the face after looking it up on wikipedia.
