Hello all!
Lieutenant Nova Squid here, asking all citizens- whether you're a human, dwarf, elf, orc, centaur, or anything else that's got thoughts running in its head- a very important question:
Do you want to fight for your country?
Do you want to make a difference?
Do you want to crush the enemy and preserve our people and our way of life?
Don't be a traitor. Sign up today! Now, if you'll just follow this way to the recruitment centers...
Oh, and those rumors of the deadlock on the front? Lies. All God-damned lies, I tell you. The war's going smoothly in our favor...
---------------------------------
March To The Beat is my attempt to make a unique fantasy roleplay around these parts. Far from the usual fare of swords and castles, players will find themselves serving on the front lines of the Great War. With a wide variety of fantasy races and magic, inter-meshed with clanking machines, burning oil, and a healthy helping of smokeless powder, this is an adventure like no other.
The roleplay takes place in an alternate version of the First World War, in an Earth in which various sentient races- and forces of magic- have existed since ancient times. It's mid-1918, and the war seems nowhere near stopping; with new developments in agricultural magic, starvation at home has seemingly been averted, leaving no sign of stopping to the carnage. New military developments occur each month; both the Central and Entente Powers scrabble to find new ways to gain an advantage over each other.
It's left to the players to make a difference in the fight. Players will fight for the Entente Powers (that is, the British, French, and American armies- sorry Russia and Italy, but you really aren't on the Western Front) in bloody infantry engagements through muddy fields, town streets, back woods, and various other killing grounds.
Things you would expect from participating:
*Try not to have your head hollowed out by a 7.92mm round while you're at it. Oh, and here's some music to set the mood.
EDIT: The thread is now up here! Get ready, soldiers- it's time for war!

Things you would expect from participating:
- Special missions across many fronts of warfare!
- Sneaking, sprinting, shooting, and stabbing in many environments!
- A wide choice of roles: be a versatile human, a crack-shot elf, a lance-and-pistol toting centaur, and more!
- You can toss fireballs* and sling guns! *Just make sure you know what you're doing, immolating yourself probably isn't very fun.
- All the brutality of the Western Front from the comfort of home!
