Over the last week I've had a blast playing paradox's latest title. The massive in scale 4x grand strategy title Stellaris. One thing that's stood out to me is the fact that everything from the covets to the Battleships, Planets and even Sectors can be named and re-named. Every Fleet Admiral and Scientist can be named.
This opens up an interesting story telling device. What if we had a Lets-play... involving all the patrons. From the single unit in the 1st fleet of 20 ships... to the governors of an entire sector of Human colonies on the outer rim. To that end I'm putting out a call!
Join TheXpGamers Republic today for a brighter space future tomorrow!
I'm breaking down the recruitment into sections based on how many people I expect to need for each.. and how important that roll will likely be vs the amount of support given to the channel. For example.. I expect to need lots of Corvette Captains but only a handful of Battleship Captains... and only 2 maybe 3 fleet admirals leading those battle groups. Based on the Donations currently.
A message will be put out on the patron that only those that fall under each category below can see. That way each person can submit his or her characters to be included. Votes will go up as the campaign continues. I'm unsure at this point what the average release scheduled will be for the series. Remember RAW ran for over a year. :P So know what your getting into. I need to move on this campaign so I'm free for the first of the total conversion mods as they release. Star Wars / Star Trek..

I can't Guarantee your survival... or the survival of the entire human race for that matter... but it should be a hell of a ride. I can't wait to see the stories that come out of the campaign. Admirals leading epic fleet battles, science ships exploring deep space finding new life and possibly getting eaten by that same life.
Should a fun and very memorable time. Let me know what you think and any advice on improving this is welcome!
