BTS Roleplaying Challenge: Shaka

[Sidney Magal]

Hey Cam, these challenges you used to post are great. Any chance you'll post anything like it once again?

Hey Sidney.

I do have a cunning plan as it so happens, but there seem to be a lot of 'challenges' on these boards of late, so I'm not sure if there's much need for another. Allow me to ponder ...

Cam...you know, I don't think I've ever seen you in action. Anyway, I think more challenges are fine. There really aren't that many forum games right now and several series have been stagnant for a while, with the NC the only thing going at the moment. The EMP/IMM Cookbook will start back up though.

I've got a Mao Zedong scenario in mind: closed borders, agrarian / State Property civics, Chinese WoWs, forced Communism and Steel bee-lines, etc. type of thing, but need to think a bit more about the rules and the VC (UN Diplo or Domination?). Same 19th-20th Century leaders as the Stalin scenario, but random personalities. MadScientist has had a few Mao games with similar ideas about the variant.

These games were traditionally set at Prince level so that a wide audience could participate, but Monarch or Emperor would seem more appropriate these days. I'd probably do a World Builder as well as an Epic Monarch, the latter being for players to compare if they want.
