I realise this is veering away from the Freak:ANL focus, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a Pax Britannica RP? Pax Britannica, for those who haven't heard of it, is a an RPG setting which in it's own words is: "an alternate present in which many things once believed possible but since debunked are instead quite factual. Ghosts, faeries, surviving dinosaurs, and creatures of folklore roam the earth. Seances allow the living to speak with the dead. Exorcists battle with violent spirits. Artificial intelligence on a human level guides commonplace automatons. A vast supply of thermally dense peat provides limitless steam power. The world is ruled by a decaying monarchy, stretched to its limits by the machinations of those who claim to be its servants. Scientists and spiritualists rub shoulders with thugs and mercenaries, and opportunities for adventure abound." In short it's a strange mix of steampunk, alternate history and supernatural shenanigans all filtered through the lens of the British Empire. A place where Queen Victoria still reigns after a century thanks to alchemical elixirs of life and where Nikola Tesla has his own cult of engineers dedicated to him. If you're interested here's a link to the online rulebook paxbritannicarpg.com/home/Feel free to ask me any question about the setting or the possible plot below.

Cool. As far as plot goes, the basic outline is that of the Royal Shepard (think Spectres if you're a fan of Mass Effect, or Inquisitors if you're a fan of 40k) Arthur Harding-Maxwell, loyal servant of her majesty and right honourable bastard is recruiting a motley assortment of patriots, mercenaries and convicts for a near-suicide mission against the Rogue Platforms of the Siberian Separatists. He is offering money, glory and/or freedom as appropriate in exchange for your loyal service to the Crown.

Ok, I'm going to leave this poll running for the next day or so. That way I can get a better idea of how many people are likely to turn up for this RP.
