My Game Idea (Very Long)

Quote from: GwenI'd love to read anything on the subject as long as there's an element of it grounded in the bible or WW2 myths.

I was watching the History Channel the other day and decided to add the parts of the show into the game.

Apparently, following WW2, the Russians began building all sorts of oddball technology during the Cold War.  One of these was a massive boat the size of a football field, but shaped like a plane.  These boats could reach speed of 300 mph, at which point they began to skim over the top of the Ocean.  It could carry a large amount of troops and artillery... some were equipped to fire off missiles.

While none of the boats were ever employed and Russia went broke shortly after the prototype, it would add in a weird 50's Cold War element to the game if the boats were discovered.

Of course, discovered by who might be up to the GM, I will simply make the rules surrounding the Aero-boat.

Other decomissioned vehicles that could be discovered might be the Tunnel-Tanks the Russians attempted to build.  They were essentially normal tanks equipped with a massive drill on the front (like a cartoon or a bad movie) but were intended to drill down into the Earth and tunnel underground as a suprise attack.

The proto-type, however, tunneled straight down and got stuck about 75 yards down.

They also had plans to build city-tanks like something out of a Mecha-Anime.  These tanks were HUGE, which is why they never even constructed a prototype.  They were the size of a seven story building and several city blocks.  It had a surreal amount of forward gun embankments and missile launchers.

For the game, the GM might say these city-tanks exist and could be found... or already in use.

For the "Wing In Ground" vehicles see:

From the GZG email list recently:
Quote from: Karl Heinz (GZG email list)
Some mad scientists have had ideas to build such stuff in 1:1 scale. There
are:
the WWII German 1000 ton "Rat" tank project
http://www.panzerschreck.de/panzer/pzkpfw/p1000.html
the 1500 ton "Monster" gun
http://www.panzerschreck.de/panzer/pzkpfw/p1500.html

And in the early 1930's the "Midgard Serpent", a tunneling tank.

Some data:
Length 524 meters (a 6 mm scale model would be over 5 feet long)
composed of 77 coupled sections, each 6 m long, 6.8m wide, 3.5 m high
the head to be fitted with 4 drills
total 19.800 horsepower
able to wade up to 100 m
speed 30 km/h over land, 10 km/h under the earth

It was rejected as technically and tactically absurd

Sorry, all weblinks in German

Couple more ideas which just popped in...

First is a name... you might try "Like a Lion..." in reference to the idea that Jesus came as a Lamb before and now he is coming to Kick butt and take names... it gives that second coming kind of feel...

As for Disbelievers well its hard to imagine anyone not believing in some higher power when said higher power is dancing on your face.  However, I will remind you many people still believe we have not been to the Moon. Also for one man's Michael is another Man's Loki or Hisii.  Despite their bone chilling goodness some people may belive the Angelic forces are Flesh loving corrupters or something.  Just one thought anyway.

As for High Tech... For old School there was a German Carrier built but it never saw much action and did not meet a good end... perhaps it survived and it carries squadrons of Demonic or Angelic fighters... which are like the Trade Fed Droid Fighters which can fly AND then land and fight as well... also a nuclear submarine which instead of launching nukes, launches missiles full of little demons to drop on unsuspecting towns...

also there is a game, small self published, called Gaianar.  Its very OVER THE TOP Post Apocolypse playing but it has intense Christian themes. Might be worth a look.  www.gaianar.com

Is this on topic?

Hmm, perhaps.  Just perhaps it is!

Culled the following assortment of links for you.  At least one of these ought to be good as resource material.

Role-Playing Game Links

First off a great big "Holy cr@p!" since I found a link to Angel/Demon: the Rapture here.

Children of Fire might be of interest since the game has players "take on the persona of an angel".

Spiritual Warfare the RPG link to PDF demo/lite rules.  If you want links to similar material copy the link to a new browswer window and go to the main site, look for the "links" section.

Dragonraid the "adventure simulation" "discipleship game/program".  (Try RPG.NET for a review of this gem.)

There are probably more games out there.  A good place to start your search for FREE Internet RPGs is here and don't forget to look around.  There's much more to the site.

The Online Books Page if you can't find a good link here, well, you just are too darn picky!  ;)
