WWIII

this sounds pretty interesting, but i'm not up to date on the miltary lingo and such..
i'll give it a shot

If this is WW3 you have to include the new kickass personelle weapons the US army is coming out with, they are mounting cameras (Normal and Infra-Red of course) on the weapons and linking them up to a fully integrated computer system and HUD in the helmet and body suit, you can have a gunfight without ever exposing your head, now that's cool. Oh, and i had a cool idea for a weapon, it would use a high powered series of electro-magnets to launch bullets out very fast and set them on a very fast rotation, further increasing armour penetration power, plus it would be totally silent with 0 recoil, that would make for one cool sniper rifle

Sounds like a miniature mass driver...only problem is you need a massive one to do what you are proposing (at least what I think you are)

Yeah, it'd probably be about 1-2 metres long, maybe segmented and pieced together for use, but it wouldn't be too heavy, the ammo would be the heaviest part

Only problem is it requires several thousand watts of power and 400-500 feet of tunnel to accelerate one particle correctly. If you're going for just any old magnetic acceleration you can use the same kind as in maglev's and rollercoasters, but good luck on rotation and such, plus still factor in the several kilowatts of power.

In direct responce to Death1Wolf, Do you perhaps in review feel that your intial post doesn't show foresight and planning? And ergo, doesn't perhaps promise a good game? Just something to consider.

--Tux

Ok, unfeasible, but in 30-odd years maybe they will discover a better electro-magnet, who knows

well..you are not actually in WWIII...your in the after math.... the U.S.A is cleaning up some left over leaders still fighting...That is your job. As for that weapon no..

Let me help you out a little... dont leave us to assume its the aftermath.. we dont know what you're thinking unless you tell us. You told us its WWIII... Ill be blunt.. your idea sucks.. it is just "go in and get out". Maybe if you spent more than 2 minutes of your time describing it, it wouldnt suck. (meaning.. describe the setting (atleast at the beginning of the mission) and give a mission breifing.. or be creative or something.) If you would write out a breif history of why there was a war, who was involved, why- how- and when- it ended. People have told you this before, and you have always almost gone out of your way to do bare minimum. Write as much as you feel is nessecery to gain the interest of players.. not a two sentence summary and call it quits. If you are incapable of this, then honestly you probably shouldnt be DMing...

Dave,
Unfortunely I agree with muddy, although not so harshly. I believe all your games have great pontential and you have the drive to run them, you just have to be more specific, as muddy sorta said. You have great ideas in your head, and probably grandiose visions, We don't see inside your head unfortunetly.

So to build off of you & muddys collective post, mayhaps you'd want to post a small paragraph detailing the war, its causes, its particpants, its noteable features. And just go into detail on all you have already, example.

What you have now: [A version, WWII]
Two sides, USA and Germany

Example:
>"Rar I'm amercian, Bang bang!"
"Ach mein thirsten!"
>"Bang bang!"
>>"The german is dead"

Perhaps a bit better:
Topic:WWII Freeform Game
DM:Me [Tux]
Setting:
The setting is going to be the bocage, which is a series of hedgerows in northern france. THe americans have made their landing into nazi germany, which started this affair by taking over all of europe save for Great Britian. Years into the conflcit we find the americans bogged down and unable to progress, they need an elite team to move through hedgerows. They need you.

Weapons

Name------Ammo---Ammo Max---RoF
Fill it in, with nice easy formatting.

Special Weapons
Describe the oddities like this

Description

Example:
Navy Punch Pistol
A percuiliar pistol built into a waterproof glove. The user must punch a target to fire the pistol that is built into the glove's topside.

Players:All welcome.
Ruleset:Freeform DM Controlled.

Start Date:TBA

Now thats very basic, and I glazed over, the point is: I could probably get a campaign started off of that right there. If you need help fleshing out stuff, and honestly, ASK FOR HELP, we have so many DMs that don't DM and just help out wiht stuffa nd are willing and ready to.

Hope I'm clear and don't sound too mean, I honestly mean all of this as constructive critism, and applaud you for DMing on opnpw.

Edit:
My Setting paragraph is crap, but you get the point.
---Brad

2023-Iraq has not been liberated. The U.S.A is growing tired and is becoming more weak. Suddam has rearranged his military. Adolf R. Hightler has turmed Germany into a dictator country. Alliance has been formed. The New Axis Powers have been created. Pakistan leader Nickaleahidoua has also signed the treaty with the Axis Powers. U.S.A withdraws all troops. The New Allies Treaty has been signed. U.S.A, U.K., and Russia. The Germany lauches 5 missles at all aimed for NYC, San Fransico, and Philadelphia. The armys best fighter jets are lauched. The missles were exploded. Suddam has ordered all other countries to not resist. Russia ground forces are noe evading Germany. Germany defeats the Russian Forces. Germany now lauches its ground troops into Russia. Three Nuclear bombs strike Russia. Russia drops out of the war. The U.S.A is using all it can to defend itself. It can not offer no help to the U.K. Pakiston evades United Kingdom. the U.K itself could not stand a chance. The Allies are no more. U.S.A is alone. All other countries back out in fear. The U.S.A is almost defeated. Every American is given guns. The Axis Powers enter the U.S.A.. Texas was first. It had ripped a new ass in Pakistans forces. Then Pennsylvania. Germany troops seem to have no end. The conquer Pennsylvania. New York is now being evaded by Iraq. The New Yorkers anger arise as it remembers the Twin Towers. The people of New York are enraged. They slaughter Irag troops. Germany now sends its troops into New York along with Iraq. New York lauches project Revenge. Revenge is a sonic bomb. It explodes sending a deadly ray cutting moutains apart leaving southern PA in ruins and slicing Germanys and Iraqs troops in two. America launches all 52,000 planes aimed for Germany and Iraq. Pakistan is under attack of an unknown force. Italy had stepped up. Italy now engages battle with Pakistan. Pakistan does not stand a chance. France has now stepped up with the war in Pakistan. Pakistan Leader Nickaleahidoua is killed by General Tux. Pakistan backs out in fear. The U.S.A Air Force blast the hell out of Iraq. Russia has now got control of its east borders. The Allies are back. Germany is now under seige. Adolf R. Hightler shows no fear. He launches his entire Armed forces. The U.S.A launches it armed forces. As with Russia, Italy,U.K., and France. Germany stands no chance. The Allies are victorious.

2025- Small spurts of gun fights are constant occuring in Germany and Iraq.

Your mission is to enter Germany and find Mic Tyler and kill him. You start in the beginning of the town Bergen. In a low grassy plain.

I'd like to appologise if I sounded harsh.. but I was un-nerved at the moment and in no mood to use detail as Tux did.. I didnt mean it to be insulting, if thats how you took it.. It truely was meant to be constructive.. I too commend you on your DMing skills.. most of the time.. though sometimes in game you lack the same detail you show here (much like Tux's little American vs German thing.. though not nearly that bad..) Anywho.. now that we have more insight into your game, I might join in.. depends on how my scheduel works out.

Thanks for the help.

Irak was conquered not liberated (well in this case it wasn't).

Oh and Germany owns ya all!! 8)

EDIT: Sorry...it was so completly off topic.... :roll:

Yep that was pretty much off target. :D

Whoa, no offence but my suggestion is:

Step 1: Click edit button
Step 2: Copy paste all text into word
Step 3: Run spelling/grammar check
Step 4: Paste corrected paragraph in edit screen

And voila, it'll make a lot more sense, and unless i'm mistaken Russia is all but bankrupt and doesn't have much of a military, i don't believe France has much of a military either, but, on a more positive note, it involves a lot of senseless death and destruction so it'll work just fine :)

Edit: i should be spell-checking myself, i made a mistake :P

First:It is not all true.

Second: I don't have MS Word.

Anyway...thanks for the help

Get StarOffice, its free.

Or Open Office, which is also free.

Muddy is now another DM for WWIII adventures.

Hi :)

Im GMing one game atm, for DW. You kind of have to know what your doing when it comes to guns and fighting.. or you will die.. but I might be able to include another player or two eventually.

[color=green]These Games have not been forgotten...I am working on a system for it as I speak...as soon as I get everything straight I will Post it and if it gets big enough...well we will see what happens...[/color]

[b]Characters:[/b]
[b]Alpha Team/Bravo Team:[/b]
There are no specific stats. The players are you. They're based on your personality and figure. If you are fat and lazy choose a weapon that best fits you. Be real. DO NOT act as another person. Be honest and be yourself. Literally. If you are a leader in life, well be a leader in WWIII. If you are a follower, then do so. If you like to argue and think you're perfect, yet again do so. If your body figure and mental stability isn't able to stay still for a sniper shot. The don't be a sniper. The characters are as simple or as complex as you.
There are no experience points. There are no skill or feats. Only the skills you possess in real life. Some may not find this fun and might find it lame. Don't go to war.
There Must at least 2 player a team, unless you are running a solo mission.

[b]Weapons/Inventory:[/b]
As any character you are allowed only 5 options. 1 main gun. 1 main handgun. 3 misc. inventory items.

[b]Custom System:ODRPG(On Deman Role Playing Game)[/b]
HQ/DM controls everything. From a guard seeing you to a successful headshot. Though the Leaders of the Alpha and Bravo teams control other team players actions the HQ/DM decides if these actions are completed and the counter reaction.
HQ/DM are fair and Will be fair. No we will not be reasonable. Always fair. If your a HQ/DM and is having a bad day. Well then don't PLAY! Your attitude will affect how you run a game. So be careful on what you choose to do and how you do it. I say it again. Be [b]FAIR[/b].

[color=green]There is your system. There will be 2 systems. The second one is in work. I will be setting up a Mission Briefing in a few.[/color]

[color=red][b]Mission Briefing:[/b][/color]

[color=darkred]The Iraq government has been under a good eye from the United States. The United States has noticed a small portion of money being sent to private organization known as the "Sand Eyes". This appears to be a new found terroist foundation. We suspect that the plan attack on the Oil Struts just south of Italy. Out intelligence tells us that if these struts are blown up. The results would be fatal. Oil would pour into the Mediterranian Sea and it will be polluted for centuries. A known Explosive Scientist has disapeared and joined a faction known as Black Cell. This faction is made up of different Government Human Genes Plant. Basically humans with a but of extra spice and then gone wrong. We do not have an idea on who these people might be or there capabilities. But what we do know is we need someone to get in there and find out.[/color]

[color=green]You have all avaible weapon slots. I will have a map ready for the struts.[/color]

[color=green]Now all I need is a few players and maybe some times :lol: [/color]

[color=green]I will be leaving to Kentucky to see family. So I will not be posting until sunday night and monday afternoon. You maybe still Post if your are interested. Send me an email with your character and weapons. Thanks.[/color]

[b]Dice Rolly Goodness:[/b]
When engaged in battle a team would roll there number of players on a 6 sided dice.
[b]Example:[/b]
*Alpha Team scored 3+6 Total:9 from 2d6*
Your total is 9. The DM/HQ would roll.

Then the enemy would roll there number of players on a 6 sided dice.But as the enemys greater 2 for every 1 soldier a 3 sides of the dice would be deducted and 1 every extra 2 enemies afterwards.
[b]
Example:[/b]
There is only 2 Alpha Team players and 4 enemies. It would be a 4d2 instead of a 4d6.
*Enemies scored 1+2+2+1 Total:6 from 4d2*

Since there roll is smaller and they out number you. Your team would go first.

[u][b]This is all the Dice Rolly Goodness I have for the Moment. I am working on rolling for weapons. All can help with this if you have ideas.[/b][/u]

[color=green]The 2nd system of WWIII is on its way to completion. In about 1 month is should be done.[/color]

i sent in my char - let me know if there is anything i need to add or change.

i was thinking about your weapons modifiers and such, for the dice rolling and i came up with what i think to be a pretty good system.

seeing as you came up with an accuracy statistic, (we'll use the Mark 23 [accuracy 8] for example) you could create a range table, for how far away the shooter is from the target.
now, in order to hit, you would roll 1d10 and try to roll 8 [i]or less[/i] for a hit, in the first range increment, say 50ft. rolling 1-8 being a hit, 9-10 a miss. say if the shooter was shooting at someone 300 feet away, that's 6 range increments of 50 feet, so 8-6 would be 2. this means the shooter needs to roll a 1 or 2 to hit. you should also make it so they shooter has a minimum of 1 to hit.

you would most likely have to come up with a different range increment for the sniper rifles, fully auto, shotgun and semi auto weapons.

[color=green]Thats what I was thinking of. But as we progress other weapons would come in. Lets take the XXX. The range of the blast would need another whole roll for itself. Leading to yet more confusion. So I am working on simplifying it all.[/color]
