The idea of NPC states brings up the question: what are we going to do with any empty spaces on the map? Make NPC nations that we can do whatever we want to? Expand all our existing nations' territories so that there is no empty space? Leave it for someone who decides to join later on?

Ideally, as [@Cold] stated, the entire continent (which is NOT the only landmass on this world, see the OP IC-info) would be filled out with a patchwork of player ran states. Up to recently it seemed there would have been no problem, due to the massive interest this RP received. Unfortunately a few people have backed out, or have simply not followed through with their stated interest. That's a pity, particularly since it took me time to roll for them. Such is life, I guess.

And how will the passage of time work?

Passage of time will go how we want it to go. Like I said, I do not want this to be a competitive brawl of people pummeling their chests and screaming they're the best (that only happens at night, in my bed). This means that [i]time[/i] is not as tight as otherwise. The story progresses at the pace we set it. Everything is relative.

For instance, someone goes to war yeah (I assume this is the biggest concern)? You talk to one another about the campaign. Do you know he/she is coming? How many there are? Where they will show up? Time isn't as relevant here in its absolute sense. Collaborate, 'set a date'. When you read a novel, events do not always transpire chronologically either. What happens [i]before[/i] or [i]after[/i] is what's important.

Speaking of low Fantasy: [@Sini], have you checked out the Compendium yet?

It's already up in the OP at the bottom. Please do not add to it before having it sanctioned. I don't want giant hydras suddenly tossing around mountains or something. :)

1) Is there only one land mass on the entire planet?

2) If we get sufficiently far into the RP, will gunpowder be making an appearance? 
[/quote]

1. See above and the IC information segment. No, there are other continents, but nobody knows if they still exist or where they are.

2. No. I simply feel it would not fit with the setting. Steampunk NRPs are there for this. The equivalent superweapon is something like Greek fire (wildfire) but that is something I would like to avoid as well.


Did I get any and all questions? :)
