Welcome To
Worlds At War
Submarine-like warfare in a near future.
These pages are devoted describing and hashing out a hard science fiction roleplaying game which takes place during a civil war within the solar system. The players will be captains of stealth combat ships for the drastically outnumbered, yet technologically advanced, outer planets as they desperately try to hold back the Earth's brutal re-expansion into the solar system.
The setting is trying to invoke a feeling in this neighborhood:
55% Das Boot / Run Silent, Run Deep
15% The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Robert Heinlein
15% Schismatrix - Bruce Sterling
15% Mars Trilogy - Kim Stanley Robinson
The pages linked on the sidebar contain lots of information explaining different aspects of the setting, as well as more Risus related stuff and sample characters. Pages will be added, updated and changed as we find what works and what doesn't during our first game.
