I've had an idea running through my head for awhile, and I'd like to see if this forum would like to give it a shot.
THE COLD CENTURY: THE COLD WAR RTD
This game would be a Dwarf Fortress-esq Black Comedy RTD that has players fighting each other as either the Allies and USA, or as the Soviet USSR, along with other Third party groups that come along, like the Nazi Axis or the Vietcong. The game would take place during different "Cold Eras", from Red October 1917, to World War Two, and all the way forward to the dawn of the internet, and the fall of the Soviet Union. However, the Soviet Union does not have to fall in this game, you, as the players, change the history of the Cold War, with the only things set in stone being the presence of the two superpowers of that time, at least, until the end, then the gloves officially come off.
With that being said, here are the Cold Eras:
1917-1930: The Cub and the Chick
1931-1945: The Blue, the Red, and the Black
1946-1962: The Red Scare
1963-1978: The Yellow Menace Rises
1979-1987: The Red Scare 2- Soviet Boogaloo
1988-1991: The Bear and the Eagle
1992+: The Millenial Dawn and Great Thaw
As for rules, I have no idea of what would be best. The only solid rule would be that all players must have an active character on either the USA or the USSR. Afterwards, you may make another character that is Third Party. Anyways, thoughts? Ideas of a good rule system to handle the large amount of players I hope to have? Questions on what I could expand on. Thanks for reading.
P.S: Anyone able to draw up propaganda? Their service would undoubtedly be invaluable to this game! It would be much appreciated.
