Hey all.

Given the current stalled/quasi-dead status of "Stillness Before the Storm", is anyone interested in a new game/story?

I'm thinking about something set during the Andurien crisis.  Tech would be limited to 98% level 1, and only limited level 2 tech on a very rare basis.

We have several possible sides to choose from.
  1. Marik Loyalists
  2. Andurien Separatists
  3. Magistracy troops allied to the Anduriens
  4. Capellan Confederation Military
  5. Corporate Interests and/or merchant houses
  6. Mercenaries affiliated with any or all or the above.
  7. Pirates (Not my preference)
  8. Com-Star "observers"

Is anyone interested?

Well, that's two players.

Any preference for faction?

I'm thinking we try to keep the "Unit" as small as possible, with as few NPC's as we can reasonably use.  If only for simplicity.  For example, if we only get three or four players, we should probably stay at Lance size at least for the first bit.

What I have in mind right now, is that the PC's will be loyalist former members of  a "Defenders of Andurien" unit.  When the secession came, they grabbed their mechs, and bolted for Marik Loyalist space, possibly grabbing a Leopard class DS as transport.

Unfortunately, SAFE doesn't trust them, due to previous attempts by the Anduriens to infiltrate spies and such.  SAFE also doesn't have any real proof, just suspicions, so has not arrested them.  They also have not made any effort to integrate them into another unit.  Instead they are used as "Hole Pluggers", given dirty jobs and generally treated like bastard stepchildren.  They might also have gotten tired of such treatment and thought about going Merc.  No firm decisions made yet.

Any thoughts?

Anyone else?

Well, Albatross, unless someone else steps forward, it's looking like you and me.  Still interested?

Hey all!  I'm still looking for interested parties.   Don't worry about your writing skill.  The idea is to have fun and see what we come up with.

If people prefer, I can run this more like a traditional RPG, with myself as the GM, but a free-form round robin works just as well.  All I need is a couple players.

I would be more interested in a more traditional style game. I don't mind free form games but I don't like other players writing for my character.

Actually, I've been playing over here: http://www.battletech-mercenaries.com/

C'mon over and check us out.  Most of the merc groups are always looking for good mech-jocks, and the Black Stars are looking for not so good ones too.
