Nineteen years have passed since the Great War ended in a costly stalemate. The United States by the strangest of fates avoids direct involvement on the Western Front. However, due to its economic ties with the Allies during the war the country suffered financially. The burden worsened with the cost of a highly controversial and failed intervention into the brutal Russian Civil War following a series of archaist bombings in the States that was blamed on the Soviets.
Despite recovering for a time during the Roaring Twenties the nation subsequently suffers the disaster of the Great Depression. Taking advantage of the chaos and desperation all around them, radical parties and paramilitary factions swell in greater numbers than ever before. Chief among them is the fascist organization known as the United Nationalist Party of America(UNPA) or Iron Eagles led by their charismatic and ambitious leader Albert Thorne.
Despite making a strong showing in the 1936 presidential election Thorne loses to (Democrat-Republican) coalition candidate Marcus Reynolds. Openly disputing the election results, the Iron Eagles prepares for war. By the spring of 37 it begins...
That’s the general background of the verse I decided on. One where the United States experiences a second civil war that occurs in the late 1930s. To be honest I took some inspiration on that aspect from the plot of the Kaiserreich mod of the Heart of Iron game series. Feel free to ask questions.
The main villains in the possible series is the fascist faction known as the Iron Eagles who are the alternative equivalent to the German Nazis in this scenario.
Although I’m open to other story ideas if given some suggestions. On the latter we can discuss here or in private on Discord. Here two possible ideas:
1) Battle Cry: A unit from US Marine Corps has just returned to the States following overseas service in eastern China. Soon their unit is called up and find themselves fighting against the Iron Eagle forces around Los Angeles. Or you can RP someone else gets involved with the unit. Like for example other military branches, law enforcement, national guard, or civilians(men or women with the latter) and uncover operatives from various countries.
(Think of HBO’s Band of Brothers and the Pacific as a theme for this idea.)
(From two to four writers can be involved.)
2) Odyssey: Now here the plot starts either in New York City or Washington DC just as the new civil war is about to erupt. We RP people from different walks of life who are swept in it and must work together to survive the madness. Ultimately the goal will be to escape the US east coast to either escape to California or Mexico.
(For a theme think about how Arya Stark and the Hound or Jamie Lannister and Brienne of Tarth traveled through the chaos of Westeros in Game of Thrones.)
(From two to four writers can join.)
Now here some basic rules for us with either RP
A) Have Fun!
B) There will be no posting order. Roleplayers involved should be allowed a chance to post once at least.
C) Of course if a roleplayer is being delayed from posting feel free to let me or anyone else involve know by private message or discord dm. After a certain amount of time their turn can skipped so the others can continue.
