Hello all,

I wanted to start working on a new setting for a nation roleplay. However, I'd like some input concerning the setting and background info.

Since the poll-function is still unavailable, I'd like interested parties to list their two most preferred options when applicable. Additionally, feel free to throw any suggestions out there as well. I've created a short questionnaire for convenience.

You don't have to join if you fill this in, obviously. I'm merely looking for some input.

[b]Questionnaire:[/b]
1. Magic: yes / no
If yes: rare occurence / omni-present / don't care it's just for fluff

2. Races: humans only / conventional fantasy races (elves, goblins, orcs, dwarves, halflings,...)

3. Preference of existing universe or one created yourself?
Custom universe - go to 3.1
Existing universe - go to 3.2

3.1 'Feel' of the setting (pick 2), the genre if you will: 
[*]historical fantasy (based on Greek and Roman myths)[/*]
[*]classic fantasy or high-fantasy (think dungeons & dragons)[/*]
[*]'soft' fantasy (magic and races but little magic)[/*]
[*]steampunk[/*]
[*]historical (pick up a period in history and go from there)[/*]
[*]alternate history[/*]
[*]science-fiction[/*]
[*]own suggestion[/*]

3.2 List your top three existing universes (e.g. Tolkien, Mass Effect):

4. Nation construction:
4.1 What is your opinion about being presented with a list of factions to choose from? 
4.2 Would you welcome the challenge or rather create your own nation from the ground up?
4.3 Would you prefer a combination of the two?

5.1 Would you prefer a hard system (list of traits, flaws,...) and fixed set of rules to resolve IC conflicts? 

5.2 Would you prefer a more mathematical approach or free-form policy for ingame events?

6. What is your stance on the use of dice?

7. I have an idea! If you do, write it down here.

Thanks for your input.
