Intro
Welcome to a dieselpunk role-play, somewhat the spiritual successor of Broken World. The world is a fictional equivalent of ours, and begins in a post-Concert of Europe but pre-Great War fictional setting, but with advances in technology that includes primitive mechs and robots. It will gradually develop towards a dieselpunk WW1, and then perhaps more later on.
Transistors were never invented. The Modern Age of Imperialism caused widespread colonialism and enslavement, limiting the need for scientific advances present in our world at the current date. Thus, by the arrival of the Twenty-First Century, the developed world became:
Nevertheless, the Modern Age of Imperialism is ending, and the New Age is emerging. Slavery is disappearing, individual rights and freedoms are growing, and the monarchies of the Old World, and the corporate powers of the New Age, are opposed to such progressive ideals. What could possibly stop the New Age?
The role-play begins in New York, the city of immigrants, so is a suitable starting point for any kind of character. The current date is January 2nd, 2000, the dawn of the new millennium.
Users probably begin the role-play as an obscure or questionable individual, such as a mobster or private detective. Or, perhaps something as mundane as a laborer, immigrant, singer, shopkeeper, or a spoilt brat from the nobility. You may be a veteran from the New Age of Imperialism, an age of imperialism and late 19th-century warfare. Or maybe something more covert, like a witch hunter, bounty hunter, or serial killer. Or, maybe something extraordinary, like a superhero or sorcerer. Whatever you choose to be, and what you do, may influence the world.
More aspects and interactions of the world, and consequences of your actions, acquirement of items and feats, abilities in relation to your character’s actions, and chance of character death, will be explored as the role-play progresses.
