Needless to say, I'm very happy to see that there's interest in this.
Perhaps, that's a very tentative perhaps. It'd have to be a small group, I'd reckon, and there'd have to be a feasible explanation for how the Madre was liberated.
I'd planned to say that the Remnants had never taken part in the Battle of Hoover Dam, since House just pushed everyone out. Also, the Remnants were simply a group of old Enclavers, it'd be a cold day in Hell before they'd ever take in outsiders. I'd strongly advise against bringing in outside forces as well, claiming there to be more Enclave out there just sort of muddies things and it'd be best to stay away from that.
Remember, regardless of if House is claimed or not, he'll not take kindly to the Three Families disobeying him or becoming too problematic.
Now, this is something I'd meant to address, I'd heavily advise that we refrain from using the Courier to explain things, like we did with the Lone Wanderer. Also, it's too convenient to say the omnipotent PC of the game could do this, so someone else could, simply because game logic cannot apply to those sort of things.
Anywhere from 5-10 years, I'd imagined.
Also, I hold interest in House, so I may take him on as my faction. He and the Brotherhood are actually quite close.
EDIT: Remember guys, we need some of the bigger shoes to be filled as well. It'd be great to have some folks take on the larger factions, or those not centered in Vegas, so we have a nice mix.
I was going to have them be a small group of trained specialists along with a couple of mercenaries or some such for protection, no more than 100 people. I don't plan on having the entire location controlled, at least not at the beginning of the RP. At the moment I'm thinking the most they'd control would be the Casino itself and a few strategic locations in the Villa - the courtyard, power, ventilation, etc.
Are we going to be using the same CS and FS sheets from Columbia? If we are then I'll try start working on the sheet and get it up later to make sure everything checks out.
