Hey...
Well, I've got a couple of people who are interested in pushing through a new RP game - but I was wondering if anyone else wanted to enter.

We'll still play afterworld when it gets back;
but for the time being I wanted to run another with the people actually interested in playing.


The format is this:
Similar to afterworld in the beggining - with persons using the first couple rounds to introduce themselves by their actions and behavior - and also to explore the world around them.
Then move on to meeting each other and actual story line.

Combat will occur through messenger/board - as will other interaction stuff ( this will probably be set to once a week, or when everyone can do it ).


The game world itself will be guided by myself - though the actions and decisions rest with the player. Certain things will also be determined by chance ( I'll say what happens, but I'll leave it to chance ). This will be rare though...




The game world is something I'd like to decide with the group that's playing, but I have a few which I'm concentrating, and I guess I'll throw them out there for you guys to give me feed back on...


Oriental Fantasy - Primarily set in warring states era style -
technology set around 12th to 16th century;
light magic included / deamons and classical mythology.
Most likely a Nihon/Han style setting with a specific backstory...
I guess you could compare it to journey to the east, 5 rings, or several anime...
( if you guys are interested - I'll ask if you guys want entirely fantasy, or for the world to mirror the real world at the time...)


European - Reinassance/Gothic;
Set at a cross of around late medieval and late gothic reinassance. ( Similar to warhammer fantasy )
Classical RP world - with the options again to mirror the real world or entirely fantasy...
Magic will also be accompanied by early fire-arms...
( I've also considered alternate world where things are not like the past world - exp, the world is covered in partial darkness...etc...)



Well, PM me if your interested,
and I welcome any questions here...
I'd like to start within a week or two...

Ok, it's been a couple of weeks....
But Holly and Nick are interested - so if you guys are still up for it I'll be starting in a day or two...
Unfortunately with planned social events, and midterm examinations - I've been with held...,
but will start the basic outline tonight or tommorow, and start it off from there...

Good to know...
Ok - here's the outline...

Based on what you guys went for - and going also for something differant...
The setting will be an Oriental/Eastern game; this includes a great focus on a Japanese medieval setting
( late period around 15th century ) and chinese/japanese mythology. But I want to keep it open and not too cliche, and will also have properties considering all easter - primarily Hindu and Middle Eastern...

Very limited magic is in existance, and instead the focus is on specific ability...

The world setting is the same with the exception of such things as limited magic, deamonic entity, and religion is more realistic...
So in simple words - it's the way back then when people were supersticious - but unlike in reality, it really is that way...


For your character creation - feel free to dig from any of these corners...
Islands to the east ( Japan ), continent in the center ( China ), deserts to the west ( Middle East ), Jungles to the South ( India ), and the north is rather sketchy - with wastes, plains, and mountains - anything from marauders, nomads, and hermits - to deamons...



Well, that's it for now...
Take liberties with your character creation, and PM them to me...
if you need any help, I'll be glad to help out...
Then eventually we'll all post it on a thread - and we'll start.

If anyone else wishes to join in - just PM me...
The general rule is by turn - but if someone is incapable a certain week to post - the group will just continue...
( I hate keeping everyone just because of one person...)
....that's about it....
Hope this ends up being fun...
