Hey and welcome to the groupI didn't make the CS page yet so people can still join, no problem at all. I could really use a bit of help with this so it would be possible to start it sooner then if I would do it all alone xD if you would like to help I would appreciate it a lot.
As for your questions:
They wake up with only one weapon, they can get more or other weapons by trading favors with gangs, stealing them from other people in the badlands, picking up the weapons that are dropped after you win a fight, etc... If someone is lucky they can stumble into someone's hiding place and steal what they need from there, or if you are very extremely lucky and you get to the weekly drop off first there is a chance the drop has weapons in them as well (once the drop is posted I will make a list of what was in the boxes just for info... might be useful), etc...
They could maybe free themselves in the end if they get enough people together but we can talk about that later once we decide why they ended up there exactly...
As for overthrowing a gang, as long as its realistic yes but you have to keep in mind that it would take a while for them to get strong enough to do that, maybe they could start off with small ones and work their way up or something?
Also technically since the CS page isn't up yet the spots aren't taken yet as well since I don't know who of the interested players will actually post a CS so untill there are 8 CS's posted the spots are still open (if I am making any sense at all) and besides if there were more people interested I could add a few more spots so yeah no problem
I would absolutely love to help out! I know how hard it can be sometimes to manage things on your own and people tend to lose interest after a long period of time. If you would like I can private message you to discuss about being a co-GM and we can go over some ideas or any struggles that you might be having with content. Is there going to be a way to determine who wins fights or is it mostly just going to be left up for us to decide?
I could see overthrowing a gang be more as an endgame sort of thing which might lead to a revolution or something alone those lines. As for the whole reason why the characters ended up there I agree with the whole government social experiment but maybe the ending can be ambiguous? One of the greatest fears is the fear of the unknown so maybe the main focus isn't why the group was put into the Badlands but rather what they do to get out.
There could possibly even be a sequel to this Roleplay if you decided to go down that route or maybe perhaps even a prequel as to how they ended up there. As for the whole government thing I could maybe see them putting random strangers into the Badlands to see how they would adapt and adjust to harsh and unfortunate situations? It could all also be part of some sick test and those who prove themselves worthy enough can be rescued at the end by a higher authority.
These are just some of my ideas but I honestly love all of the ideas so far. I also really like the idea of having animals in the Badlands and dogfights would be amazing! Maybe if some of the characters are lucky enough they could even befriend some dogs which will follow them around and protect them from gangs? They could also hunt animals and kill them as a last resort if they're starving and in need of food but these are just some more ideas.
I hope even some of those prove to be useful to you though and I can't wait to see this all kick off!
