One-shot idea
(hexbear.net)
Could be fun!
I was thinking you could start at an encampment the night before and gradually reveal a narrative as you move up through the ranks and learn more of what’s going on
Individual players choosing sides could get messy fast, but it sounds like an interesting idea. Paizo are doing something akin with one of their next adventures, with the players spending the first chapter as low level refugees, then soldiers in the war in the second chapter, then high level knights defeating the source of the war in the final chapter.
What is the name of that adventure? Are the characters the same with a time jump or different characters?
Claws of the Tyrant, and it's different characters for each. Also I was wrong about it being upcoming, it released last month.
This sounds similar to the funnel in Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, but you actually get stronger.
I ran a Pathfinder game that basically functioned like a rouge lite. Every time you died you get to keep one piece of loot, a chunk of gold and some xp. The treasure was used to upgrade the starting town, adding merchants and temples ect. No story at all though just tons of dungeons.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.
An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.
Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
