» Sun Jun 23, 2013 6:02 am Since it seems as though the American Assembly is all but dead (we haven't had much interest at all in starting a new thread), and as far as I can see the Europe Never Dies isn't doing too hot either, I thought it was time for a reboot of the American convention.
Just a thought.
But anyway, I made up a preliminary map for the standard factions that I think are normally included:

So far I have:
-The Empire of the Pitt (I'll be taking that one, assuming this takes off)
-Midwestern Brotherhood
-Enclave
-NCR
-Commonwealth
-East Coast Brotherhood
-Khans
-MLA
-Sierra Madre
-Vegas
West Coast Brotherhood
-Legion
I tried to leave ample room both for 1. Expansion, and 2. new factions for people to fill in. Because I think that's a better idea than me making up NPC factions. We can fill in NPC nations later if needbe.
And I think we discussed a few things that should be implemented this time around:
1. The MWBOS needs to be nerfed a bit. I suggest limiting their robotic forces to a relatively reasonable number, setting their power armored troops at only 15-20% of their total armed forces, and making the Mutant Liberation Army a very present and powerful threat to counteract the Brotherhood's might.
2. I suggest we start out in North America, but make this a "Summit Style" convention. In which the RP plays out on the world stage eventually.
3. We start out with ship numbers, military forces etc., that are respective of the "Summit Style" (i.e. larger).
4. Set it 15-20 or even 25 years after New Vegas. To make the Summit setting a bit more plausible perhaps. And allow for nations like the Khans to get settled.
Faction template I assume would be like it normally is:
As much as I hate to say it, I would also recommend not making massive novel-length sheets. Nothing wrong with them, but they take forever to write and read.
Well anyway, any interest in this then? Or is this a bad idea?
