Fight hard and your hero might even become part of the super secret Allied units set up to combat them. Grab your gear and move out soldier! We’ve got a war to win! About Project Ahnenerbe The campaign will intend to be a long term, long running campaign with a fixed group of players meeting weekly on Sunday evening/afternoon. It will start historically in World War 2 as we know it from history books, with the initial characters being regular servicemen who, whether or not they may be superstitious or a bit more doubtful of the supernatural, are regular people. As the campaign unfolds more mystery comes to light and more options gradually open up for the players as they adapt to the secrets they learn. Who are we? We are a diverse group of players have played together for 2 years now after meeting on Roll20. Having just completed a long term homebrew pathfinder campaign and deciding we want to do something different. With the start of a new campaign we'd like to grow this group and find more people the same way we did 2 years ago to accompany us on this journey. Who are we looking for? For you. Though we don't require extensive experience, we are not looking for first time roleplayers, we'd like people that know from experience they want to be part of a campaign in the long run. However, many of us are dipping our toes into playing something different after lots of Pathfinder and D&D, so no Savage Worlds experience is required at all and we'll teach you the game along the way. It is a fairly simple system. We look for people that want to help shape the story and (try to) fit in with the group. In our games it is not and should never be player vs gamemaster, we create the narrative together. Setting and (initial) character creation. The year is 1942. The Germans are advancing on Stalingrad in the east. The British are losing ground in Africa to Rommel. Convoys are still desperately trying to get supplies through the siege at Malta. The Aleutian and Solomon Islands are invaded by the Japanese, with the US fighting heavily over Guadalcanal. The first US troops are arriving in Britain in preparation for their involvement in the European theater. British commando raids have met mixed results in Africa and Norway, and are eager to have a crack at France. By order of Winston Churchill, the commandos were formed in 1940. By 1941 there were 11 battalion sized commando units divided into 62 man raiding groups called troops. French naval officer Philippe Kieffer and British Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatton formulated an idea for a commando unit consisting of foreign volunteers and thus no.10 Inter-Allied Commando was formed under command of Lieutenant Colonel Dudley Lister on July 2, 1942. No.1 French Troop was formed, then no.2 Dutch troop. No.4 Belgian, no.5 Norwegian and no.6 Polish Troop soon followed. The possibly strangest unit in the British army was no.3 (X) Troop. Every member had a secret, British, identity. And all had different reason for needing one. Some were simply from neutral countries not part of the war, some were enemy aliens like Germans, Austrians or Italians, and others had a past best left behind for other reasons. A small group of these volunteers, whatever their history before, have just finished their 6 weeks commando course at Achnacarry, Scotland, and are eager for their first assignment, no idea of the horrors to come. You are one of these volunteers. Contact Interested in the game? Check out our game listing , let us know below, or contact us on Discord which we will also use as our voice chat in games.
