I’ve toyed with the idea of running a dnd campaign where each player individually controls their own resistance cell or section of combine arms (hl2 setting OFCOURse)

The idea is rather simple, resistance do their best to destabilise while metro do what they can do control the area, occassionally pitting player against player

Anyone got any kind of interest to take part in it?

Twilight Two Thousand might fit more with a HL setting so I'd recommend giving it a look

Yeah I think this would be the primary system where players get a wedge of territory and a basic amount of supplies to start their cell witj

as an aside, GURPS or any generic unisystem TTRPG can be adapted for HL2
Ben Robin's Kingdom system works too
and Reign

GURPS would be my go-to. Its a little complex but it has books for absolutely fucking everything you can imagine, as a Unisystem.

don't get me wrong i play the tabletop too (it made me stop dnd), but the text novels are great content for the world

who did you kill to get in?

my most recent was a ravnos who ran a courier service for vamps and other super-naturals (the coterie geeked when one of my customers was a kinfolk), their family kept check of slumbering elders

i was listening to interviews from deathrow prisoners stuck in california (right now, they've all been halted but they remain on deathrow) and them talking about the isolation and how every day you're essentially already dead creates an effect of living in eternity, so now im gonna base my next lasombra of a priest who'd visit deathrow inmates who's a member of the cult of shalim

I love those interactive novels.
My guilty pleasure.
The most recent and currently I think the favourite series is the Infinity Saga by Paul Wang
So, Sabres of Infinity Guns of Infinity And Lords of Infinity.
You basically play as a officer part of the Royal Dragoons, a cavalry unit, taking part of a war. And its a mix of line infantry with swords and shields and then musket guns. Its a really good universe. And the books are all around really engaging story.
I also read 'I, the Forgotten One'. Where you lead an army during a Civil War. But its super dark and deals with brutality of war and family trauma etc. But its well written and currently my favourite novel.

Though, only VTM one I've read is 'Out for Blood'. And I have 'Night Road' in my library unread.
I've also played through Coteries of New York.. though I don't think that wasn't really my taste.
I do want to get into VTM too tho.. but I just feel there is too many books to get to start. So I'm just finishing up my current collections.
