So...at the risk of necro'ing a very dead thread - I went ahead and moved forward with this concept in that I resurrected a long-running 3065-era BBS-based roleplay I'd created years ago which spanned two sites,
LEGIONNAIRES (2004 forum) and
LEGIONNAIRES (2004 - 2009 forum) in the form of a 3028-era prequel.
The new forum, simply titled '
MercNet,' is an open world, with the player characters so far each doing their own thing in the Inner Sphere just after the start of the Fourth Succession War. The main units at this juncture are three different mercenary groups and a free agent who are each chasing a few different objectives. There's no one overarching storyline thus far, although it would be really interesting to get a couple of players aligned with one or more of the mercenary groups that are currently operating in the universe. The current players are:
- Aegis Division, run by Charles Maxwell, which is headed out to Kimball II to help House Steiner re-capture the Ceres Metals factory as part of Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG.
- The Crayven Corporation, run by William Kauffman, which is headed out to Gan Singh on a transport mission to drop Jackson McKenna onto the world in search of a Star League cache.
- Scorched Earth, run by Octavia Incendio, which is presently on shore leave on Rasalhague.
- Orlex Jaeger, who is on Blue Sava, attempting to re-claim his stolen BattleMech.
