So! This is an interest check thread for an RP based during the events of the game 'Necrovision: The Lost Company'.
Right. So this game takes place during WW1, and a new plague has broken out in the trenches, killing men on both sides. However, the plague doesn't just 'kill' men.
Some, it drives insane, like a mixture of rabies and typhoid, to the extent that even though they're sick, they can run as fast as a healthy, in shape man. Others it brings back from the dead.. Some men are twisted with whatever was near them, for example soldiers with barbed wire wrapped around their arms and shooting out of their mouth. British infiltrators, running with two bayonets and slashing faster than can be imagined. It makes them a lot harder to kill as well, with it taking two shots to the chest at least to take them down.
And it gets worse. In the skies, you have the pilots being almost 'posessed', demonic creatures flapping around and tossing fireballs...and Dragons. Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like. Picture the ones in Skyrim, except twice as big. Zeppelins in the air have also been turned against the men on the ground, and are infact -spreading- the plague.
And it gets even worse, with werewolves even trying to kill you.
The game is also amazingly inaccurate from a historical standpoint, not even because of the reasons listed above. an example is that Lieutenant George Patton, and his Tank group are in Europe. The game takes place in 1916, a full year before the US got involved in the war, and much before the Americans got their hands on the tanks.
There are also things like the BAR 1918...yet again, game takes place in 1916.
There's even a Machine Gun with an underbarrel -flamethrower-. Also, there's poison gas in certain areas, requiring a gas mask to pass through.
Now, for this RP...we'll be playing a group of soldiers that gets caught up in all of this, and needs to figure out how to get the hell out. I'm thinking we'll be on the Verdun front, where all the shits going on. For the sake of staying true to the games, we won't be going all Historically accurate, and I'll be finding a list of the available weapons. I'll also be putting up a poll to decide if we should all go soldiers from the same nation, or just be whatever. Character template will come after that.
Please, post your thoughts, if you're interested, suggestions, etc.
