The Lost Regiment

When I first started using RPoL the first game a ran here was a home-brewed game based on my favorite series of novels.  I made many mistakes.  I didn't understand how to get the most out of the Game Wiki or how write any code for automating dice rolls etc.  I didn't always communicate clearly with players and the game system was constantly being tweaked.  The game started out strongly and over time players came and went until eventually it faded to a halt.  I'd like to think things have improved since then.  I have run quite a few games here now and have 4 active, regular games with stable playing groups.

The Lost Regiment is still my favorite campaign to referee and I am much happier with the game mechanics now, the rule set has been play tested in a number of different scenarios and seems to work well, I just need to get better at running games and managing players :)

With a few years experience on RPoL under my belt now I'd like to try and restart this game and invite old players and new players to come and join the action.  Whilst there are many opportunities for role playing in this game, once the campaign really gets going there is a big focus on combat.  Players begin the game as privates in the Union Army but over time they have the opportunity to get promoted and take command of larger and larger formations?

Each player will have their own solo thread for solo play (something I should have done long ago) and there will also be opportunities for players of a similar activity level to work together in joint story adventures/threads.  All depending on the preferences of the players.

For more info on the campaign back ground, character generation and game mechanics, feel free to visit the site and if this sounds like the kind of game you might be interested in, please send an RTJ.

Characters for The Lost Regiment are members of the 35th Maine regiment, the 44th New York Light Artillery, sailors from the "Ogunquit" or nurses from the Christian Sanitation Commission.  Their birthplace, language and background should reflect this.

There are no Native American or African American members of any of these units however there may be a small number of immigrants from Europe.

Over the course of the campaign, players will have the opportunity to generate additional characters from the new civilizations their Yankee characters discover.  Rus, Roum and Chin characters allow players to explore multiple cultures and character options.

Well it looks like we have a rifleman, a nurse and an artilleryman ready to join the adventure.  We could do with a couple more riflemen, possibly a sailor?

The Yankees have somehow arrived in a world with two moons and medieval peasants who speak Russian!  In this alien world, what kind of magic can an engineer make?  Is medicine a gift or some kind of sorcery?  What other bizarre things will our heroes discover?

We have pre-generated characters or you can create your own!

The Lost Regiment

  The company officers informed the men that Colonel Keane had declared military law for the duration and now planned to raise, train and equip a national army.  Every citizen would be trained to fight.  In one year they were going to create an industrial state out of Suzdal.  The Colonel aimed to field a modern army, armed with muskets and artillery and all the logistical support necessary.
  An organizational structure had been created with three main areas, labor, industrialization and military training.  Kal was now in charge of organizing the labor of the Rus people.  Captain John Mina had been appointed to lead the industrialization effort and tasked with making 10,000 muskets and 100 canon.  Chuck Ferguson had been promoted to Captain in charge of engineering, first to design a dam to provide power for their industry and then to build their railroad which would be greatly expanded.
  Captain Bob Fletcher, the regimental quartermaster was now in charge of supplying the army and all of Suzdal once the war starts.  Dr Weiss would have to try and train a medical corp as well as ensure there were no outbreaks before the Tugar arrive or after the battle has been joined.
  Sergeant Major Schuder has been appointed brevet Major General in charge of training the Suzdalian army and the militia which would be under Kal once the fighting starts.  Every able bodied man who is not part of the modern army will be organized and trained nevertheless.


Does this sound like the kind of game you'd like to play?  With the option to play largely solo adventures or the choice to join other players in co-operative missions.  Players have the option to play various types of Yankee characters or people belonging to the other cultures they have encountered.  This currently includes the Rus people who are descendants of medieval Russians.

For more information please visit the game site and send your RTJ to join the game.
