Re-titled to \"WinSPMBT - The Role-playing Game!\"
I have been toying with the idea of doing a WinSPMBT campaign based on a hypothetical Nuclear World War (ala the Twilight 2000 game) with 3-6 players playing against the AI. I would create scenario's (a storyline) set in the Twilight 2000 world and each player would be in command of his alter-ego set in this environment. Each player controls a single man unit, I set the unit's stats, you choose your nationality (and weapons package from a a predefined list). New players can join in or drop out at any time at the start of a new scenario in the story.
How it would work?
Player 1 is the Leader. He starts the scenario moving his single man unit. He tyhen saves the scenario and fowards it to player 2 who plays his unit actions. He thensaves and frwards the game to the next player and so on. The last Human player ends his move then sends the file back to the 1st player who ends the turn for the human team. He then lets the game cycle through the AI players turn. Before he moves his unit for the next turn he sends me a copy of the game file. Player 1 then starts the next Human player turn all over again and play continues.
What would be required of the players?
* At least 1 turn every week or so, faster or slower as the players can pass the file around, just keep it rolling. You are only moving 1, single man unit on the map so it shouldn't take that long.
* Post their personal AAR/comments (with optional screenshots) in a running thread as the story evolves (basically the players are writing the story for visitors and members of the site to follow the action and get some light entertainment).
Questions, comments?
