@IamJacksColon4 We shelved the science fiction game in favor of this. The science fiction game isn't dead, but this is what we were passionate about.

@gridlink

ok cool, i like the lore, although you should know that Saudi Arabia would fall within 48h without US support.

@IamJacksColon4 the core idea is this. What if Saudi Arabia hired someone like Blackwater to fight a war against Iran for them?! Enter Black Powder Red Earth!

@gridlink

well im excited as hell. saw your show on gamespot way back. I hope you get a publisher soon. goodluck mates.

@IamJacksColon4 long story short, we found publisher interest, but they wanted to own the entire thing (ie the whole story we had worked so hard on). So we decided to go it alone for a while. We've launched our facebook rpg and will be adding mutliplay to it in the coming months. We also have a graphic novel being developed right now and are considering a short film project. Keep your eyes on and thanks for your support :)

@IamJacksColon4 Thanks for well wishes, but at the moment, we're continuing on as an independent. Look for more from the BPRE team as the year continues :)

Love the idea. :)

Not many rollplaying games on Facebook are about private military corporations.

But may I make a suggestion?

Can you put in some sort of avatar building system in the game?

With that we'd be able to create our own unique merc and also see the guns and armor on him/her.

private military corporations... thats crazy. lol i dont doubt the possibility of it though.
