Project Sidewinder

After the Ten Year War, various nations across the globe agreed to sign the Treaty of Tranton, limiting the size of formal military forces of states to a side based on various factors such as population and GDP. The reason was simple: no one wanted another war, and most countries were struggling to field even a quarter of their forces due to the bloody conflict. The only two who could field anything were the Northern Federation and the Southern State of the People. Almost immediately after the treaty was signed, both sides began to bid for allies for the new world that both wished to create from the corpses of the fallen.

One notable exception in this treaty were "Private Military Operators," which, in layman's terms, are mercenaries. Perhaps an oversight, perhaps a loophole, but the golden age of the hired gun began. Soldiers with no war began seeking employment doing what they did best, some on the ground, some in the air. Even a handful of minor naval powers "privatized" their navy.

With the old world washed away in hellfire, the new world is ripe for the right people to claim it.

YOU take the role of the brave, or foolish, Free Soldiers of this new world. Armed with little more than a few Jet Fighters, a few years training, and military bravado, you're tasked with making it rich or die trying. The world's a dangerous place, and for those willing to enter the danger zone, they may even make it out alive.

Project Sidewinder is a Tabletop Roleplaying game about jet fighting mercenaries trying their best to survive and thrive in their line of business. Not only taking the reigns of one these jockeys, the players will need to manage their company as well, from gearing up to taking contracts, it's never an easy choice of what to do.

Sidewinder is a diceless RPG, relying on a Tokenomic approach to game design, with players spending, betting, or risking their limited Talent and Supplies to gun down their enemies and RTB. But don't think this is a strictly narrative game, battles take place on a full battlefield, forcing them to consider their options and position themselves for the perfect shot. No matter how talented a Pilot is, a missile will still turn them into slag if they aren't careful.
