1917 Russia Game Interest Thread

[KaiserDave]

This summer, CRUMBLING REICH broke ground for how a historical game could work, meshing election mechanics with political intrigue and violent combat. While unfinished due to burnout and Election Day, it really was a great game with amazing wonderful players, and if I do say so myself, changed the way games can be run. As the Spring blossoms, NYC's cherry blossoms included, and summer approaches, I am pondering the idea of a similar game, but this time set in 1917 Russia, in the tumult and turmoil of the Revolution.

Reaching out to see if people are interested, once my current game wraps up.

[RGM2609]

I am interested!

[GoTfan]

I'd be up for it.

[PSOL]

Could be fun playing as Wrangel

[Dereich]

I'd potentially be interested.

[KaiserDave]

Good interest so far, would love to see more.

My plan was for the game to start right after the abdication of Nicholas II.

[It's Perro Sanxe wot won it]

Sounds interesting, I‘m currently reading up the Crumbling Reich game and, if time allows it, I would participate in this one.

I would love for you and your amazing signature to join!
Crumbling Reich is really great, I've been reading over it too and I'm so proud of what everyone accomplished.

Unfortunately, sometimes its hard to see from the threads exactly how much there was going on under the surface with that game. For the government's part, the absolute madness of trying to keep the rightist coalition united despite the unending duel to the death between Mehrun and Hugenberg while at the same time needing to get either NSDAP or SDP votes to do anything wasn't always clear. I also understand that Devout Centrist was running a very strong underground campaign as Thalmann that was setting him up at the end for possible (probable?) KPD victory.

Probable, due to said right wing infighting

It was really unfortunate that you had to leave the game before that by-election which gave the government a majority in the Reichstag. Things would have been much easier from that point forward and conservatives would have stood a chance, but instead, we know what happened.

[Elcaspar]

I would definitely be interested. Although hopefully i won't fall into inactivity like last time.

[Continential]

I'd play if I can play.

[S019]

I’m interested

[Devout Centrist]

I'd join in. If there's interest in finishing Crumbling Reich, I'd love to get that done too.

[KaiserDave]

Wonderful, I was hoping you'd be interested.

I wouldn't be opposed to finishing Crumbling Reich, but that would require I think the gang to get back together.

If I recall, some things were about to go down between the KPD and SPD, and Hugenberg had just fallen. In might just be that civil war was inevitable. But I'll hear what people have to say.

[NewYorkExpress]

I originally thought I was going be to gone forever, but this concept interested me enough to say "I want to come back".

I'd like Josef Stalin to be reserved for me, by the way.

[YPestis25]

I'd also be interested!

[KaiserDave]

Not doing reservations at this time

But I can see there is interest.

[It's Perro Sanxe wot won it]

When are you planning to start it?

[KaiserDave]

When are you planning to start it?

If people really want it, the sign up thread will be up by around May Day

How fitting

[KaiserDave]

I guess I'll have to switch over from my CRUMBLING REICH playlist of German communist music and Prussian marches to a new Russian one! Unfortunately German communist music is too good to avoid!

[Diabolical Materialism]

I am tentatively down. Preemptively calling dibs on Roman von Ungern-Sternberg if he is a playable character.

[Dereich]

When in 1917 do you plan on basing the game start? The cast is quite different if you start in January versus starting in June.
