BALANCE OF POWER
My specialty is Balance of Power games. In the words of my friend "Sonny":
I could run three versions of this game. One would be during World War II, the other would be at the turn of the century/age of imperialism, and the other during the Cold War (1969). I am very experienced at these games and would love to teach you guys how to play.Balance of Power is a forum game where YOU control and play as a nation's leader. During any time period from World War I, World War II, the Cold War, or Modern day you take on the role of the leader of any nation. Use diplomatic skills to win over foreign nations' support. Send covert agents to kill enemies. Or if all else fails, send in your army to conquer. Build an economic giant or a military empire. Work side by side with allies in NATO, Warsaw Pact, the Allies, Axis, or Unaligned Nations. Work peacefully or rabble rouse in the United Nations. In Balance of Power history can be changed for the good or worse. Spread Democracy to the world as the United States or dominate it with your Communist might as the Soviet Union. Your options are limitless.
Europe Burning: Bloody Twilight
A semi-RPG where you play as a military officer (with a sizeable amount of men following you) in a post-apocalyptic Central Europe, ravaged by a war between democracy and communism.
Untitled Three Ages Project: You play as a tribe at the beginning of the Neolithic Age on a fictional island. You are in charge of progressing through the first developments of civilization, from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age. The forum game I'm copying this from is much more complex, but I'll leave a lot of this (such as the backstories to your civilization) up to you guys. Note: I may add some fantastical elements such as prehistoric creatures or tribes of non-Homo Sapiens.
Verada: Freeform RPG game set in a banana republic during the Cold War. You play as a politician, military figure, or rebel leader (with a possible transition from one to another). Sort of a government simulation with war. Probably the most boring but also the most freeform.
Anyone interested? Or rather, is anyone cool with me running one of these games? Just mention which ones.
