Futuristic Dawn of the Mandate

[krasous]

Greetings folks!

There's a niche for political style rpgs that is not often been covered. We set out to cover that niche. Dawn of the Mandate will be our first game in the series. Dawn of the Mandate features the following story: The once great star empire of humanity is falling apart and this time we will not be playing as the daredevils who will blast the evil emperor in the face. Instead we will play as the various political figures of the scenario and set out on our own course.

If you are interested on something different than a dungeon crawler and you are into fantasy sci-fi, this is the game for you. Dawn of the Mandate is set up to emulate TTRPG-style gaming in a space-opera setting. There's a very simple stat system which governs character creation. These stats will be used in various rolls as your characters can chose a set of actions every week. These actions do not infringe on free-play, you can weave your story independently from them. But If you use these actions then you can fain further support and benefits for your political party, the empire or yourself.

This is a hybrid text-based rp game where players directly influence the decisions taken by a great space-faring empire. Take the role of one of the great people who shape the destiny of humanity and create your sci-fi story. Meanwhile we visualize all the changes you bring into the table by using the game Stellaris. You do not need to know how to play the game, it will just come in handy while staying in the background.

In the campaign server, we will be simulating the stages of disintegration of the empire. We will use the Paradox Interactive game Stellaris to showcase the effective changes on every planet of the empire. Players keep track of experience, stats, achievements, and their own goals while interacting with the broader community through their factions, be it solo or in cooperation with others. The characters will be using a simple Point-Buy affected by their background. You can find the rulebook with more details in the discord server.

The game will be played over on Discord. I hope I get to meet you all there!

Remember... One Rule! No Quarter!
