This is a concept I've been toying with for a long time and I've finally decided to try it out. My general idea is to create a story that we can all participate in. I, much like any GM will give you choices of where the story can go, you will make the choice and I will post up what happens.
Let me know what y'all think? and please don't hesitate to participate.
If any of y'all wish to remain anonymous you can PM me and I will post your submission without your name attached.
Without further ado, here is the beginning.
----------------------------------------
The stage is set. Your intel says that the enemy forces are going to attack from the hills. So you array your forces in the valley utilizing several little ambush points. You even have a back up plan incase things don't go exactly as planned.
Outlying province somewhere in the periphery
11 March, 3052
You never went to a proper military academy, but you were taught by your dad. He taught you how to pilot a Mech, he taught you how to shoot a gun, he even taught you to think critically. But the one thing he left out was what to do when your thrust into a position like this one.
You're head of a militia on your home world. With the exception of the ocassional pirate raid, nothing much happens around here. The militia HQ is a simple drafty old shack built on the outskirts of the city, long before you were born.
You're stadning over a table with a huge map spread on it while your second in command reads a message that just arrived. The message says that a group of unknown dropships will be landing in the nothern hills sometime later that day. Reports indicate that this is a group of mercenaries hired by your rival to take over the city.
Looking the map over you designate the spot where the ships are supposed to land Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and begin planning your own deployment. A report comes in later in the evening that the enemy has landed but have not yey made a hostile move.
Do you wait and see what they do, prepared to order your men to battle at a moment's notice?
or
Do you send a delegation to speak with the enemy and try to make peace?
