Shadow of the Reich [AH|OOC|CLOSED]
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2020 3:28 pm
It has been almost fifteen years since we lost the war.
Fifteen years since the Nazis dropped the bomb on D.C. Fifteen years since Germans washed up on the shores of Maine, Virginia, and Florida, hungry for a new frontier to colonize. Fifteen years since Patton shook hands with Rommel. Fifteen years since we lowered the stars and bars for the last time, and put up the swastika.
It's been fifteen years; but it feels like a god-damned eternity.
Welcome to the SHADOW OF THE REICH. This is an alternate history roleplay in which the Axis achieved victory in WWII and conquered America, establishing the vassal state known as the American Reich in place of the United States. Players will take control of a leader or citizen of the capital of New York, attempting to navigate and survive the treacherous cloak-and-dagger politics of the Reich.
How the Nazis won is not terribly important; players need not memorize any new battles, events, or timetables which turned the course of the war. All that is clearly defined is that Franklin D. Roosevelt was assassinated before he ever became President, allowing the Great Depression to ravage America all the way until 1947, when Nazi "liberators" took control of the continent.
Now it is 1961, and the Reich has firmly entrenched itself in America. Hitler's health wanes with every passing day, and a power struggle is virtually assured once he passes. The American lieutenants of the Reich must brace themselves to endure the impending crisis, and perhaps gamble by aligning themselves with one of the Führer's hopeful heirs, Himmler, Göring, Goebbels, or Bormann. All the while, sedition boils beneath the Reich's surface, and the tighter Germany grips America, the more tenuous her grasp becomes.
