I figure I'd post it here because a bunch of RevLefters are participating. From the "Introduction" thread the GM set up:
Story: The year is 2017, and a world wide financial recession, the likes of which have not been seen since the 1930's, has sent the old order careening into chaos. Across Europe, neo-fascist and authoritarian demagogues have used the crisis to bring themselves to power. However, in Britain and America, history has taken a fundamentally different turn, and now, a hundred years after the October Revolution, Socialism is again a force in the world.
It has now been discovered, that the Soviet politburo, realizing after the Cuban missile crisis that open confrontation with the west was not possible, began to develop a plan. The Soviets inserted sleeper agents into the British and American governments, and slowly plotted a take over.
In 1991 the Soviet Union fell, but the plan did not go with it. Slowly but surely, the conspirators worked to put more agents into positions of power in both the UK and the US. After many false starts, the conspirators realized that, with the recession of 2016 throwing the world into economic turmoil, the time had come to act.
In the United Kingdom, Jeremy Corbyn would be elected Prime Minister. In the United States, Bernie Sanders would become president. At this moment, Sanders, Corbyn, and many other politicians revealed themselves to be hard line Marxist-Leninists. The US, UK, and Cuba would then form a new state entitled "the workers international."
The world stands on tenderhooks, as the International must face down both revolt at home, and challenges from the neo-fascist nations of Europe.
OOC:
This is a forum based sand box role playing game. In it, players may choose from a list of characters or create their own. All of the characters are members of various factions competing for authority in this new world. The main action of the game will involve players debating with other players over how to solve problems and what policies to enact. Players also will send actions (things a player wishes to attempt, i.e recruit soldiers, organise a revolt, send out tax collectors, fund allies) to the GM (Robespierre). Action success will be determined via a dice roll.The forum itself, eRegime, is a "forum for forum games" meaning that this is just one of a number of such games run by various users.
