OC Pitch

A swashbuckling two fisted adventure game set during the heroic and daring actions of a Great Crusade to reclaim a sector from Chaos. The players are part of a top secret group set up by the Warmaster to deal with various problems that the core rank and file of the Crusade are not equipped to deal with. However with all this freedom comes extreme danger... Players will form groups based round Rogue Trader Dynasties, Inquisitorial retinues or Military command cadres. Each group type will have access to different uptime and downtime benefits. There will be a downtime system for players to engage with to simulate the effect their actions have on the overall Campaign. There will be multiple resources that will form the backbone of the rewards players can earn from successful linears. We are attempting to write a detailed sector with multiple star systems. We heavily encourage players to make characters either from or with heavy ties to these systems, to explain why they are taking part in the campaign. As such we will be encouraging players to send in ideas for aspects of the setting such as star systems, planets or locations of note. While Season 1 and 2 were essentially Pirates of the Caribbean in Space; Season 3 is intended to be Inglorious Basterds in Space, with the players acting as daring liberators against the relentless Warmachine of the Archenemy. We intend to incorporate more Dieselpunk aesthetics into our designs for the overall setting.

What this Game is

• Primarily about melee: While the setting has a great deal of ranged weapons the design of this game is balanced in favour of melee combat.
• PVE: The players are all members of the same organisation fighting the same enemy. There will be political and competitive aspects as to which objectives are favoured over others, however this game is designed with the principle of building a bigger tower than your competitors rather than knocking their tower down. Physical PVP between players is allowed however it is not the intended theme of this game.
• A Linear LARP: There will be a down time game, there will be things going on at home base but primarily this game will focus on action that take place on linears.
• Accessible: this game will be designed with options for Non-combat players and players with limited mobility.

What this game is not

• Simulationist: this is not an attempt to faithfully recreate the Wargame or its setting.
• Grimdark: while the world this game takes place in is and there will be bleak moments, the overall tone of this game is a pulp adventure.
• For Everyone: It will take place primarily in Douglaswood scout site, located near Dundee, so players will need to be able to play largely outdoors and deal with sleeping in bunk rooms or camping. It will involve walking, running and combat. Additionally there may be various special effects, light, smoke, loud sounds, fake blood, and slime.
