We are looking for more Natural-born Soviet Airwomen to join the cause!
We're currently playing the RPG "Night Witches", a Powered by the Apocolypse game taking place in World War II. The players are pilots in the all female 588th Night Bomber regiment of the Red Army.
They are citizens of the Soviet Union who have answered the call of the Motherland in her darkest hour. Their enemies are twofold: the German invaders, of course, but also their own Red Army, which is eager to see them fail. Can they do their duty and strike blow after blow against the fascists? Can they overcome discrimination and outright sabotage and rise above—or best—their sexist comrades? Are there limits to patriotism—or endurance? There’s the game. That’s the story.
While Night Witches lets you evoke the extraordinary exploits of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, it isn’t really a game about war. Much of the story takes place between missions and between people. Although the characters fly and fight an extraordinary amount, we abstract that into the most harrowing moments. The really interesting stuff happens on the ground, in the tight spaces between pure hell. Your characters will be marked by war and death, and some of them will never go home.
The game has started, but we are still getting introduced to the unit and getting to know each other. This is the perfect place to jump on in. No book purchase is required as all the information you need to create and play a character are
