You may replace USA with your country of choice, just making crude assumptions about the subreddit's subscribers.

Like some others, I found about this game only a little while ago. I like what I've read so far about it, but I'm interested in how the chain of command in this game works. Is there any commanding to be done, besides the usual microphone teamplay work? Is the commander / team leader a participant in the battle (I'm thinking Battlefield 3 here) or is it actually more useful to keep him more separate from the battle (like in BF2)? How's it work in general?

What happens is that when I try to connect (I'm on the moon orbit atm), my link either succeeds and proceeds to disconnect pretty much immediately (probably my signal-to-noise ratio sucks) or the signal just doesn't come back. Normally, I'd just connect through the Virgin satellites (which is what I'm currently on), but seeming as they have strict limits on bandwidth transfers and prohibit encrypted data from private people (as per the USA space law), I'm trying to link through some university satellites instead.

I'd appreciate an answer, as I need to connect to my Earth bank account as soon as I can. Also, my wife would appreciate a call, heh.

I've experienced the impending victory in Liberty as the Americans, forcing my rival to quit before I even got a chance to properly win. But I have also faced failure in Napoleon having failed to destroy the Prussians on my last turn.

These are some of the best moments in my boardgaming history (including such basic boardgames as

As the title sums up, I'm trying to create a long-running series of adventures that will use the WoD as a rulebook basis (to be played through the forums). I don't have any other WoD material at use, and to be honest, I'm not quite sure if I'd like to insert the whole vampire/hunter/mage bunch into the story - or, at least, not yet.

Now, my trouble has been finding suitable supernatural or otherwise interesting mythical beings that I could incorporate into an otherwise reality-driven game. I want to find something that would excite my players as well as slightly make them uncomfortable in their own homes.

At the moment, my idea pool is exhausted. Can reddit come up with such character conc
