so I was thinking about doing a thing here on the forums with a grand strategy game called Darkest Hour, and the Kaiserreich mod for it
basically my idea was to sort of do a live AAR
and since the game has like these big decision-driven event chains which determine your nation's future
I'd let people here choose which options to go with
I'm mostly posting this to gauge interest, since I don't really know how active drlff is nowadays
I'd have to write up a comprehensive OP about the game and how the thing's gonna work and right now I'm swamped with some algorithms homework
but I could get it done like over next week and hopefully get it going if there's interest

also I wanted to ask which country I should play as if this thing happens

example screenshots of the game
i'd have to write a lot to explain what's going on

EDIT: also not sure if this belongs here or somewhere else.

I'd be in, but I'd suggest the Fallout mod instead. People here are probably more familiar with the setting of it, and the reduced scale of it being just North America makes things a little easier to understand when people pop into the thread wondering what it's all about, especially for those who are new to grand strategy games.

If so, I'd be stuck between casting a vote for the Calculator or for the Midwestern BoS...or maybe we could go for the NCR or some band of mutants...choices, choices...

eh went ahead and just made a topic

Roast has been extremely inactive so it looks like I'm going to have to boot him out of Ad Infidium, which means we have a slot open. Anyone interested?

Been working on the synopsis of Ad Infidium as I archive it, which would be a great resource to check for anyone interested in joining the game to catch up on the story. It's about 13 pages so far, but it covers over 100 pages of material. You'll find it in the first post of the thread.

Y'all need to roll more.

Whelp, Ad Infidium is down to 4 players.

RIP Asklar... I will remember you in my heart, tenderly.

NOW HIRING PLAYERS

You guys should run some games.

So these forum games look like good fun. I've been checking things out here for a little while, was wondering how one goes about joining a game and playing? I've read the forum rules already but I'm still not sure how it all actually functions.

Depending on the game, some you have to create a character sheet for, and others require no character creation - there's a single character that multiple people control by essentially creating and voting on actions.

Flow of the games generally work like [DM posts scenario/results of previous actions] -> [Players respond with dialogue/actions] -> [...] etc.

Considering a game based on Ryuutama, a japanese TRPG. Acquire the pdf in some fashion and let me know if you're interested in playing. If enough people show interest I'll start a thread and we'll see if we can make anything come of it.

Can you link the PDF here

This looks wholesome as ♥♥♥♥, I'll try to score the PDF
